Which supply would you never use?

These things, they should be long gone from the hobby.

Can't tell you how many times over the decades I've went to pick one up and the lid came off while the second piece dropped along with all cards.

Just use the hinged cases everyone.

Hinges do brake. :|

Quite a few hinges break on me. Sometimes you can snap them back in place, other times part of the hinge breaks off and they can't be re-seated.

I love sliders done right ... The ones that don't slide up and down like OP but rather sideways. The ones I have that slide up/down I secure with painters tape to prevent accidents during transport.

I've used those types of cases to display other non-card items. They really do suck for their intended purpose.

The brick size screwdowns.

And I use the big 250 "sideways" cases for the Oversized cards, like the early 80s Donruss "In Action" sets...

I hate the hinge boxes more. Too much potential for crimping the card when closing the box. Plus the corners are a little rounded and the cards inside have too much room to move.

The 4 Screw Screwdowns, especially the ones without the recessed area for the card. An instrument for destruction in my opinion

Exactly what I was going to say.

Yes! Everything posted in this thread is garbage.

Now, for an unpopular opinion: 9 pocket pages. I don't like them. Binders never shut right, transporting them from a broken binder to a working one sucks, you can't handle them individually as you could a card in a toploader.

Loved pages and binders when I was a kid, but I have out grown them

I use the small and medium sized ones for temporary storage of almost all of my cards when they come in, many of which go off to get graded. A BGS sleeve from BGS will fit a medium perfectly, so no worries if I drop the plastic box off my desk. There's no way I can be organized w/o these things. If I was to use the hinged ones, my corner subgrades would get destroyed.

I hate the 8 pocket pages that were available in the early 90's. I can't get any of the cards out of them now. At least the cards won't rot away.

The ones for horizontal cards?

And what brand were they?

finestkind · Feb 15, 2016

I think they were from bbcw world or something like that. This was before Ultra Pro.

I am curious to know how you store all of your Dawson cards. I tried 9 pocket pages to start with on my McGriff collection but that did not work well. I finally went to penny sleeve and top loaders for all my McGriff cards other than my doubles. I mainly use just a penny sleeve on those.

Every card I own is in those boxes!

Every unique Dawson card gets put in a a penny sleeve and a top loader and then a three row monster box. All of my doubles go into five row monster boxes.

I like those two row shoe boxes myself. I have my McGriff collection in several of them. I am still working on organizing my collection and I hope to get it done soon.

Cool, I was curious. I use the smaller two row for my cards in top loaders. I just have one monster box of my McGriff doubles so far. LOL
