How do you display your PC?

JackLondon · Sep 18, 2009

Hi all,

Day off from work and a lot of time on my hands, soooooo....

I am organizing my Fregosi collection. Right now, the base cards are in 9-pocket sheets in a binder. The autographs and game used are in toploaders. The graded cards are in, well, the graded thingies. Was thinking I might want to just put all the base in toploaders and keep the whole collection in a box/tin, since the binder can be a pain to get down from the shelf and all.

What do you guys do with your PC, especially the base cards. Binder or individual holders?

Binders for base. Toploaders for #'d, gu, etc. One-touches for nicer cards.

I am leaning toward toploaders for all of mine. Since Fregosi doesn't have tons of cards, I can afford to buy new toploaders for each of 'em. One-touches would be good for the few autographs/game used.

Andrew- Enjoy the day off bud! Spending the day off dealing with cards is always a great day off in my opinion.

I keep all of my base cards in penny sleeves, top loaders, a team bag, and then sorted by year, then manufacturer in a 3 row shoe box like this:http://cgi.ebay.com/4-BCW-3200-COUN...ards?hash=item5ad378b7f3&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

It doesn't really hold 3200 when you have the top loaders and team bags though.

I use the same style boxes for my game used and autographs. Most of my game used and autographs are in top loaders, but I plan on switching them all over to one touches within the next year.

So far so good, but Chris called from work. She stopped by the Verizon place to exchange our DVR boxes this morning. They originally sent us ones that work with HD TVs (which we don't have). When we pointed out the mistake, they said we could switch them for regular DVR boxes. She packed up all the boxes, brought 'em in, and was told that Verizon doesn't make DVR boxes for regular tvs, just HD TVs. WOW, she is mad. Kinda like the Hulk (you wouldn't like her when she's angry). Have to say I am glad I am not there; already caught some collateral anger from her on the phone. :?

For my Pettitte collection, all base, refractors, and higher #ed stuff goes into binders. G/U, low #ed, and autos go into magnetic one-touches. My nicer autographed stuff goes into those one-touches and then onto those little plastic card easels.

I've been thinking about putting the Pettitte base, etc into top loaders, but I guess it's more fun to me to flip through the pages of my binders.

I'm thinking about getting some sort of shelving to display my better autographs - right now they just sit on my entertainment center in an extra slot where a receiver/CD player should go.

I guess that is why I am conflicted. The cards in sheets look nice together. Will have to keep ruminatin' on this one.

Yeah, Cardboard 3200 Count Boxes.

I like having all my Cardinals in the box, very nicely organized too.

marterburn · Sep 18, 2009

The rest are on a shelf below in another display-ish holder.

WOW! Where'd you get that? I've got a pair of 5,000 count monster boxes for my collection, organized by year and set but my pc has its own special section of the box.

Looks like he made it out of cardboard or balsa wood, Ant.

Sure is purdy. Marter, if you made that, I'd be selling those puppies. Very nice looking way to store cards.

chashawk, I like the way you displayed your cards on the shelf, but were did you get the supports for the cards?

Penny sleeved, top-loaded, team bagged, in a 3200 ct box.

We have an HD DVR and we use it on our regular TV.. We are getting Comcasts Triple Play HD special.. Works fine..

As for storage...

Once in awhile when I am sorting them...

The only thing I can think of when I see this picture is: "Why isn't your monitor using the correct resolution?"

Because if it did, I would have to look back and forth like I was watching a tennis match :lol:
