Protecting sets in a binder

[Gorditadogg]

I've said this before here. I have a set of 65T more or less NM. I had it in a 3-ring binder, mostly Ultra Pro pages, stored vertically, for about 25 years. Gravity (I guess) caused the tops of the pages to pull away from the binder spine and curl the top left cards.

I took all the top left cards out and pressed them down. Probably not NM anymore but none got creases, so the damage overall was minor. I now lay the binder flat.

That settles it. I’m going horizontal!

Now I just need to find the space.

I hate binders. Luckily I'm not primarily a set collector. Though I used them as a kid back in the 80's and 90's, something about binders as an adult just doesn't sit well with me for some reason. I think it has to do with liking to flip through large groups of cards at a time and rearrange on the fly individually. So yes, I'm the guy who has all 752 1971 Topps cards in toploaders and card savers in multiple 2 row boxes. I have never claimed to be efficient with supplies, LOL.
