If there’s one thing I can’t wrap my head around in this hobby is how to store my cards. For the last two decades I have been going back and forth on how to store my collectibles. I went from binder pages to Card Savers, then back to binder pages. Then I went to penny sleeves and top loaders, and  back to binder pages. I repeated the last excercise probably three times. Right now I am in top loaders, but this weekend I visited a card shop I’d never been to before and they were using binders to display a lot of stuff. And again, I want to switch.

How do you all store your cards?

The thing I like about binders is that you can store them neatly in a book case and they seem to take up less space than three-row shoe boxes full of top loaders and the such. Space is of big importance right now. I suppose a mix of two would be ideal given that some cards are more valuable than others and need different treatment. But binders do have their downside. If the binders are dropped or mishandled, several cards could get creased, even in D-Ring binders.
