How do you store your player collection?

[IrbeFan4Life]

Anything base, or standard insert, they go straight into the nine-pocket sleeve. Anything expo, #d, auto, or memorabilia always goes into a penny sleeve before making its way into my binder.

and another question for binder users, do you put the cards in a penny sleeve and then in the binder or just slide it in the binder?

Binders can be great if you store them in a place that sunlight and dust won't get to them. Then when you pull them they are ready to visualize and show to friend.

Now if you don't keep moving card around all the time, you keep them out of sunlight and dust, it's possible to keep your card in great condition.


I am 48 today and rarely will show card to someone since my friend aren't card collector.

Since you seem younger, binders is easier to view them and share with friends. Maybe it would fit your situation better.

You make some very good points, I very seldom move my cards around...looked at an old binder with my 90/91 OPC Premier cards and they are all in awesome shape still after 20 years. Anyone needs any lmk .

As for age...I am turning 41 or 42 at the end of the month, not quite sure...no I don't smoke the leaf but maybe the rye has killed some brain cells , and even though 99% of my friends don't collect, %100 like the cards, and I even sense some jealousy from them over what I have accomplished, so the binders are constantly flipped through by visitors. And I bask in the glow of my collection and the NYI PC verbal diarrhea begins

yeah well Im just going into college and I have a few friends that are kind of impressed by my collection but most of them just dont care cause its not habs (I live in Montreal) so yeah. Ill probably go with the binder just because its cool to me when Im putting in new cards I could look at my older ones at the same time

My Ryan PC collection is kept under my pillow..... j/k The typical treatment for my Bobby Ryan pc cards. Brand new Penny Sleeve, Top Loader, and Team Bag. Some cards are in one touch holders with a team bag over it. Then I store them in a two-row "shoe box", the boxes that are wide enough for top loaders. All slabbed cards go into the empty row.

do you have them in any specific order or are they just in random slots?

I have mine kind of sorted...GU/Autos in one section, RCs in another and I kept base and inserts together but with everything I put parallels beside the regular version...looks pretty cool to see a base/10/25/50/100/etc of the same card together.

I keep my Richter PC (patches and Autos only) on a shelf out of the sun, right on top of the fantasy miniatures diorama I've painted.

For my Hjalmarsson PC, I have them organized in alphabetical order by set on a table in my cave and the best ones in one touches at the bottom. My Vermettes are in penny sleeves and toploaders in a box with the rest of my PC stuff, same with Welch.
