True! I didn’t think of that.
How would you store complete sets? How would you store individual cards? Thanks

Me too! That’s why I’m trying to get ideas on how best to store them!

My sets (and a whole lot of other stuff) are housed in binders. This pic shows four types of boxes that work pretty well for everything else:
1. Bottom Left - Random shoe boxes...which are always a MUST for any nostalgic card collector. (Who knew I was a ladies size 6??) 2. Upper Left - Michael's sells great (read: cheap) quality photograph boxes, which are fantastic for stacking toploaders and slabs alike. My absolute favorite!! 3. Bottom Right - Two-row corrugated cardboard boxes that are real sturdy and great for holding (and transporting) large batches of slabs. 4. Upper Right (obscured by toploaders) - Your standard corrugated cardboard boxes, 100 count, 500 count, whatever, usually used for holding sets, but there are also ones (shown) wide enough to be filled with slabs. cardboxes.jpg 5. Honorable mention - I still have a few old Pop Tarts boxes filled with random 1970's commons.

I use both top loaders and binders/sheets. I echo comments about shoe boxes being invaluable especially for oversized items that you can put in topholders and then stack them (when stacking I try to alternate direction to avoid the weight of the stack bending items at the bottom of the stack which can happen even in topholders).
For tobacco cards, I used to use the smaller tobacco sized topholders but I am moving away from them in favour of regular sized ones - when setting up at shows I just feel the smaller topholders could be prone to higher theft because of their size and ease of pocketing them. I use the 2-row card storage boxes (1600ct?) - I find these are perfect to place topholders upright in the two rows. As stated by others there is a corresponding larger 2-row storage box that works great for slabs (albeit PSA fit better in there than SGC, SGC makes for a tight fit but still works). I like the 2-row ones because they stack well while also taking up a smaller footprint than 4-row boxes. Last edited by Ray Van; 05-02-2022 at 10:30 AM.
