Card Storage

[Shanerd]

Alright, I just recently got back into collecting sports cards after about a one year layoff. I've been purchasing some cards off Ebay and from my local card shop and I seem to have a pretty good collection going. The only problem I feel like I have is storing them. I usually put all my cards(of value) into penny sleeves and then into the toploaders. Do you think this is the best way to maintain and protect the card? I saw these magnetic card holders on ebay that look even better but they are a bit expensive. If you were me, would you keep them in the penny sleeves/toploaders or put in the extra money for these magnetic cases? I have a few of the Bowman Chrome Rookie Autos and they just look terrible in the toploaders for some reason. It seems like they are just a magnet for hair and dust even though I keep them in a box. Which leads me to my second question, I store my cards in a shoebox because it's really the only thing I have available at the moment. Is there any kind of plastic card bins/boxes that you can store cards in (not loose cards but cards in plastics, everything I've seen plastic just has room enough for loose cards). Sorry for this long winded first post but this is kinda bothering me.

A. Magnetic holders are more expensive but its up to the collector as to what to use. In my opinion they look better so I use them for some of my better cards and they provide just as good if not even better protection that Toploaders.

B. Use team bags, will get dust on them not on the loaders or in the cards.

C. 3200 Ct boxes work well to store top loaders. I use those to store everything i have in loaders.

Thanks a lot! I hadn't given any thought to the team bags. I'm gonna try them out.
