Am I alone here?

bongo870 · Nov 6, 2016

Am I crazy or do other people go nuts storing your cards of your favorite player? For me of my 1.200 plus different Griffey cards I have them ALL in pennie sleeves and top loaders. Am I alone with this? or do you just store them normally?

That is the only way to store a player collection

That's how I store my Olerud collection. Any card standard size or smaller goes in a penny sleeve and toploader. I keep a supply of all available thicknesses of toploader.

For my Griffey collection, I have each one of them in magnetic holders, except for the ones that are graded. Course, I don't have 1200 cards, but probably close to 200.

I collect Heritage master sets and a few others as well. GU cards go in one-touch, numbered, SPs and inserts are in toploaders. 100% of cards are sleeved.

No way. I store them in pages in a binder. Much more fun and easier to look at the cards as a book.
And when I put cards in a box they sit there and I forget about them.

Nope not at all. I do that with certain player cards, even if I have duplicates.

Sleeve, top loader, team bag.

Nearly all my promos and Mattingly cards are in pages.

The rest are in top loaders.

So long as your cards are safe and buried in the backyard it shouldn't matter if they're magged and bagged.

Calripkenjrcollector · Nov 7, 2016

All my 299 different Ripken autographs (my number 300 is on the way) are in penny sleeves, top loaders and team bags. I used to have all of the in the same manner but when I got over 4000, I decided to take them off the team bags and top loaders and just put them in a 900 count boxes. Now the 900 count boxes go inside a file box. So now, instead of penny sleeve, top loader, team bag it's penny sleeve, box and box.

I prefer the binder, however there are some cards that don't work well in that case I typically sleeve and top loader and call it a day.
My Tim Wakefield collection is small enough that most of the game used and auto cards I have in magnetic holders.

You're not alone! I do the same thing! Best regards, David

For my pc collection (Giovani Bernard) I have some in binders (typically the base or high #/inserts) but the thick or expensive/low# cards I have in either one-touch or penny sleeve/top loader/card bag/2 row box. I like the binder idea as it makes viewing your collection easier, but it doesn't work for all cards. Anyone seen the binder/pages for top loaders and have you used them (http://www.toploaderbinder.com/)?

sportscardtheory · Nov 7, 2016

I can see a penny sleeve for every single card, but when the toploader is worth more than the card it holds, that is a little pointless.

Got most of my Topps cards from the last 50 years, by team, in binders. Really fun to look at that way, as opposed say to my Jim Thome collection, which are all in soft sleeves and mostly in 800 count boxes. Too many Thome cards to put in top loaders, even though I do have a lot of top loaders laying around.
