Not sure if this is the best way to store them, but...
I am collecting the '51 Bowman too and use a penny sleeve inside a top-loader. For some reason I am enjoying handling these cards (unlike my '59 set which is in pages)...enjoy the set...it's a beauty. And I believe they do make pages for the '51s but not sure of the model #.

I have the 1951 Bowman set and am currently upgrading it. I, too, like to look at the cards, and I use Card Saver II's with no plastic sleeves. Card Saver II's take up less space than top loaders. I keep them in a lockbox at the bank and often get them out to look at them.

Thanks fellas. I don't know why I find the set so much fun to slip through, but I do. I like the ideas...

Jon- There are pages for all sizes of the Bowman's, I have purchased small nine pockets for the 1951 & 52 sets as well as 12 pocket for the 1950. Same goes for a nine pocket Goudey, Playball, Leaf size card. I have bought them in 10 and 25 count groups on eBay.

I know it seems extreme to put these cards in a bank lockbox, but here is why I do it:
1. 1951 Bowman Mantle PSA 5 = $3000+ 2. Eliminate fear of fire, theft, home invasion, etc. 3. Total set value = $6000+ Bank lockboxes seem to me to be cheaper than collectibles insurance. Also, I don't really like the idea of a fire/theft proof home safe. What do you think?
