Question About Pocket Plastic Sleeves

[Harliduck]

Here is my binders being stored...

Interesting to hear the silver vs. platinum conversation as well as the flat vs. upright debate.

I'm storing my 64's in the silver. I can understand the criticism of them, as a couple of times, I accidentally ripped a right hand side on the right bottom corner.

I have some plastic sheets that I got years ago and they're a little thicker. I'd also like to get plastic sheets without the company's brand name on them. My old sheets were just clear plastic sheets. The Ultra Pro label is not that big, and doesn't really get in the way, but I'd just rather see the cards.

I don't have a ton of binders like some have here but the sets I do have binders for, this is how I do it. I keep them standing up so I can easily access them. I use closest to the cheapest binder that I can find at Staples. I determine the thickness of the sheets with cards in them to hold a complete set and purchase a binder thickness that's equal to that measurement. This way when they are side by size on a shelf, the pages can't curl. For set's that are not complete and are in progress, I buy a cheap pad of paper and use it as a spacer until there's enough cards in the pages to fill the thickness of the binder. I usually use UltraPro pages. Cards that go in the pages are usually not valuable 10's. Cards from the 1980's probably average an 8 when coming out of a pack and into a pocket page. The little bit of movement of the cards will likely not affect the original grade they would have gotten. Lastly, I believe that pocket pages were meant to help enjoy the set you built, while keeping them clean and in order. They were never designed to replace a PSA case.

A big thank you to the Net54baseball community for the input on storing the cards in binders. I will upgrade to the UltraPro Platinum sheets and look for binder slip cases for the albums.

All the Best

I generally use the Platinum sheets, though I had to look at a couple of boxes to make sure. I also buy my three ring D-binders at Costco - they are about $3 each in packs of three or four. Simple white binders with a clear pocket on the front, stored upright.

I've created cover sheets for each set as shown below:
