How do you store your player collection?

[G0SHARKSG0]

That would look really cool but Im going for everything Thornton and money is quite an issue in my life as I am a college student with no job....

for me?? after finally narrowing down what and who i am going to collect..and since i only want to collect high end ..i contacted beckett and they sent me a package for every 15 cards i send in they will slab them for me ( just authenticate ) i want the best protection for the money i spend on the cards i have and will have in the furture..i know it will be costly ( $157.00 ) for every 15 i send..but in the end it will make for one hell of a collection..and also i figured how long it would take me to buy 15 very nice high end cards lol...a long time..but i almost have my first batch!!!!

Six away from 500!

I keep cards with autographs, memorabilia, print runs of /25 or less and cards not priced due to scarcity in: penny sleeve, toploader, team bag.

The others are in penny sleeves and in a binder.

My auto sets and my Lupul collection are sleeved and toploaded in a team bag or in a magnetic holder and then team bagged. My Masterpieces parallels and jersey cards are sleeved and in a huge binder.

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

Yep, Specific.

One expo & odball binder.
One Leafs binder (I need second really soon)
One Blues & Flames & Habs & Sabres binder.
One Devils & Blackhawks binder.
Two Memorabilia & Autograph binders.
Four ITG Ultimate binders (need one more soon)

No Prob. If someone wonder how can I put thick patch & stick cards to a binder and how cards fit to in a slots? Answer is my very thick (fat!) decoy card. I push it in a slots couple of times, (crush is a little bit too heavy word, but something like that) After that patch card fits easily in a slot.

I think it depends on the size of your PC. Including 1/1s, a Kris Russell PC only has 115 cards. But some players have hundreds or thousands of cards.

Both of my PCs (Brad Boyes + Corey Perry) have between 500-600 cards each. I've got all their cards in binders that I found. The binders were actually made for football (Donovan McNabb on the cover), but I love them because they come in sleeves, so they are kept away from most air and moisture.

I think if I collected someone that had thousands of cards, I'd lean towards just doing binders for base/inserts/lower level GU/autos and slabs for the better cards.

The bigger the investment, the more you want to protect.

I use a glass display everything auto or patched or rare sp goes in one touchs and rest in top loaders

For all the player I collect:

Everyting over 15 $ BV is store in top loader or screw holders in boxes.

The rest, mainly inserts, parallels and some GU (I don't collect bases) is stored in binders (I have a dozen binders).

In binders, I follow what I call the Beckett order: I regrouped together cards from the same year, and place them in pouch in the same orders sets are listed in the Becket magazine (alphabeticaly).

What I don't like, is moving my stuff all over again to follow the Beckett order when I get an older cards. Not that I don't like to look at my cards or so, but because I constantly feel that I might break a corner. So, I updated my binders only once in a while.

While they wait to be part of my binder, cards are stored in a box, in a penny sleeve.

I have about 275 Brodeur cards. Everything is in penny sleeves and toploaders and stored in a box. I used to keep the base and inserts in a binder, but i realized that binders and pages are pretty expensive and this was cheaper alternative. Plus, the few autos I have are kept out of sun and dust this way.
