How do you keep your cards?

[bo3197]

Hey guys
Just wondering how do most members keep their cards and how should I keep my Simon Black collection? Don't have very valuable cards, most valuable is probz worth $10. Should i put them all in 9 pocket sleeves in an album or should i keep them in penny sleeves and then put them in the 9 pocket sleeves in the album?
cheers
help will be greatly appreciated

We use premium card (penny) sleeves for the cards we keep in albums or top loaders.

i would do the sleeves too but i dun hav any which fit...hence my sleeves thread

Use penny sleeves in the 9 pocket sleeves.

There are two types of penny sleeves... platinum and normal... one fits and the other doesn't in the 9 pocket sleeves

so would the cards get damaged if i just put them in the 9 pocket sleeves without sleeves. at the moment i just have them all in regular sleeves in a pile waiting for advice

Try AFLtcc for the sleeves. The cards won't necessarily get damaged in the 9 pockets, but we find the penny sleeves provide added protection which comes in handy if you need to take the cards out again.

well the toploader doesn't fit in the album, so do you put the cards in a box or somthing?

I keep all my commons/sets in 9 pocket pages. Any inserts are in there too, but they are in penny sleeves. I dont have any 'high end' cards really. If i did, then they'd be in toploader on display in my display cabinet

I just transfered a set from old 9 pocket pages to new ones last week. They'd been out in the garage and none were in penny sleeves. They were as good as the day they were pulled! My justification for using a penny sleeve is to prevent fingers touching the card directly when pulling/inserts them in the pages (which im sure is why everyone does it).
