Good stuff Mike and thanks for posting.

Your passion for the hobby is clearly evident and to me is what's most important in our little enclave.

Good luck on the Monster.

Thanks Phil,
There is no better community than the folks here and thanks for the encouragement on the Monster. I know I’m well over 300, like I said, I’m looking forward to getting the new grand total!

While the vast majority of my collection is slabbed, there's no denying how nice T-cards look in those 15 pocket pages and a binder. That would be a joy to flip through.

Something satisfying seeing all the cards in plastic sleeves rather than graded card cases

Great post.
A lot of passionate enjoyment right there.

Thank you guys. I totally agree. When I started the collection over 30 years ago, they did not make these sleeves. Recently, when I started to think about doing this, I noticed these pages for sale and yes, they make a difference. I also found this company that makes binders with the theme of the particular card collection you are doing on the outside. I have not received it yet, but it has been shipped. When I get it , I’ll post a review. Here is a picture below. They come in 1, 2 and 3 inch.

All my cards are in Ultra Pro sheets and binders for precisely that reason. The reason I collect cards is because they provide me with delight and being able to flip through pages of cards in a binder maximizes that delight.

Couldn’t agree more with you both. Sometimes I think we lose sight of the joy of collecting. Once we acquire a card , esp in a graded case, it gets filed away as the value hopefully rises. And yes, the cards have risen in value far exceeding what I thought decades ago, but that isn’t why I collected them . Organizing them in a binder is a great way and an easy venue to “enjoy” the cards….as they should be. The colors, the crazy nicknames of players, the history of these Deadball teams is all part of the enjoyment of flipping through the album. When reading a book on a particular part of the Deadball era, I actually refer to these cards as part of the visual story. I’m glad to see I’m not alone on the album idea. Thanks to everyone for the support and gracious comments.
