Well, I try to put my commons in 5,000 ct. boxes. Inserts and other slightly more valuable cards go in penny sleeves and top loaders with a piece of tape over the tops to insure the cards do not fall out of their storage. My sets are in 9-card pages in binders. With thicker and more valuable cards, I prefer to use screw-downs.

I agree with james. It is also important to note, where to store your cards as well as what to store them in. I would avoid extreme heat or extreme cold. One of the two worst places to keep your card are either in the attic or garage. For long term storage I would also not recommend basements. They are typically damp and moisture would for sure ruin you cards. Storing at room temperature is usually the best, I would just avoid areas, where the temp changes to hto and cold

Yes, that's a good point. I keep my cards in my room.

I keep my cards in order of value. Cards with little or no value go in binders double sided in the pages. 1 dollar to 5 dollar cards go in penny sleeves and then in certain binders. 5 dollar to 10 dollar cards go in top loaders with penny sleeves and the top loaders go into pages. From then on I decide if the card goes in a snapdown holder or a screwdown.

I have a small collection ATM, every single card i own is in a sleeve, anything decent thats not a common or a worthless insert is in a toploader.
As my collection grows ill probably put commons in 9 page pockets and instead of sleeves.. depends on how big it goes

I keeep most of my cards in soft sleeves numerically by year in 32 quart size containers. My autographed cards and oddball cards are in 9-pocket binders. My #ed, gu and more valuable cards are in sleeves inside toploaders in smaller shoe boxes.

What's the best way to DISPLAY your cards? I just don't like keeping all of my good cards, especially my autographed ones, in a binder on a bookshelf, I want to show them off.

The pages are hard to find as they are not made anymore. Here's a person selling them on Ebay they hold 2 or 12 toploaders.

They also hold 6 one screw cases.
