Viewing your sets more in binders?

[vintagebaseballcardguy]

I have been enjoying this thread and wanted to keep it alive. I have been playing around with a 1965 Philadelphia football set and, to a lesser degree, a 1967 Topps baseball set. Like I usually have previously I started out keeping the ungraded cards in Cardsaver Is along with any slabbed cards for the set in a box, but I always felt like something was missing. Then this past Spring I went on a 1980s baseball set buying rampage (and a 1976 set). Nothing major really, just bought nice NM sets from my childhood. All of these multiple sets now reside in binders in Ultrapro 9 pocket pages, and I love them!

I hadn't put cards in binders since I was a teenager. In fact, I still had a set or two that has been in the same binder for 20-25 years with no ill effects. As OCD as I can sometimes be, I was pleased with how it all has held up and loved the look.

So I am going to start moving my 65s and 67s out of the Cardsavers and into binders and pages, too. My higher graded cards are getting sold off in favor of nice, crease free mid grade cards. I will also be doing some cracking out. I haven't enjoyed collecting this much in a long time!

I gotta say, personally I love sets in albums. Also, as an auctioneer, sets always sell better in albums than they do in boxes. ALWAYS.

I have many sets in binders and for the most part is the preferred way to store cards. I've spent many hours thumbing through the pages. For the most part, I've kept them in binders so I can easily pick out variations.

As mentioned previously, in a box until I am at least 2/3 of the way there....then make the decision on their destiny based on how much I like that particular set. '63 was a no-brainer for me for example, love that set. I found '69 left me a little bored, so when finished, they stayed into a box. I go through the binders regularly, and I haven't seen the inside of the boxed sets for years. So maybe 15 binders and 15 boxes. (I also look at those boxes and ask myself why I even started those sets!)

I've posted this before, but I'm a strictly binder guy. I love pulling a set out and thumbing through them on a whim.

I never get tired of seeing that! Incidentally, it is helping me not go nuts right now. I am over the Atlantic on the way to Ireland. Do not like flying , and I doubt there are any card shops when I get there!

It's great seeing certain subsets all together on a page or two, especially the all stars and (from 1972) the 'traded' cards. Great stuff to look at!!

Great collection!

I'd enjoy that as well, which I assume is real sweet being able to do just that.
