How to store these autos?

[roaddogg02316]

I collect alot of team sets for hockey. I had been keeping them stored in snap cases that they came in, but I"m finding some of the autos are rubbing against the back of the card in front, leaving a slight blue on the back. Nothing too bad, but of course that means the autograph is wearing a little.
I'd like to continue to keep them in the snap cases due to space issues. That is alot easier than having a bunch of binders. AS some of these sets are 50 cards a piece and of course I'd want to even put the unsigned ones away.

Any suggestions? Some sort of spacer I can put between them?

I was having the same problem. I wound up having to put them in penny sleeves and then in top loaders. Maybe try cutting down and index card to fit in between them. I dont know if you would have the same issue though.

I'm also thinking the penny sleeves would be good but you can't put them in a snap case with a sleeve on. Tried with one card and it pretty much got stuck. So try 50 like that, your in for a problem. I'd wonder if they make any dividers that are made from the same thing as the sleeves are. I may just have to break down and get pages for all and put them in binders.
An index would probably do the same thing in terms of rubbing off the auto, so best bet is a sleeve and that isn't going to work unless you cut them down to fit in the case, which means taking off that small little amount at the top.

Ah this is an old one. Was running thru all my old posts. I ended up just putting them in penny sleeves and putting each set in team bags. Works well.

Road....any card that I feel is extreme importance to my collection,I penny sleeve it and top load it.Top loaders don't really take up that much space.I've even gone to the extent for example...We all know how hard it was to separate 1993 sp cards right???I penny sleeved every card I have in that set,like 300 or more cards and use 200,400,or w/e I need to store them.I have 2 PSA Jeter 7's from that set.If I ever want to do a registry of that set,I know my cards are nm/mint cond.

by top loaders do you guys mean the card sheets that hold 9 cards each? Thats what I use with no sleeve (penny?) to store my cards, new to the hobby so havent noticed an issue with fading/etc, is this an ok way to store????
