Collection Storage

[538]

I keep two binders with the 1987-1996 cards in the safe. A dealer told me that the binders should be stored flat and not vertical. I have all of the good cards in penny sleeves and holders. I have graded cards limited cards and autograph cards in the safe. I am out of room in the safe. I have other stuff in drawers, cabinets, dresser. There is stuff all over the house. When I croak, I am sure that you guys could get this stuff cheap from my wife. We have a don't ask, don't tell. I keep telling her that there is nothing in my collection worth more than a dollar. She says, sure but if we ever get divorces she is taking every other card in my collection! She keeps wanting to know why any of the cards are in the safe if they are only worth a dollar? Any of you have a good answer?

I keep all my singles in binders, i find they are a lot easier to look at that way, then all my doubles are kept in boxes in order that way it's a lot easier to find them when i need them.

have you ever dropped a 700 card binder down a flight of stairs when you were at the top, and just watch in HORROR as all the pages were flying out like a bicyle spoke,you can see in perfict slowmotion the cards getting all bent and creased under the weight of the binder hitting every other step some cards comming out,then settling on the floor at the bottom with about 60 to 70 cards on the steps and floor with most of the edges bent on the 59 Mantle,52 Mattews rookie, 55 Aaron.race down the stairs pick up the binder to look and thank GOD only half of those 700 50's&60's super star cards were trash? have you? REMEMBER MURPHY'S LAW! i will never put even a common card in a page ever again!
