Not cards and pretty boring really

[hobo]

I have been wanting more of these bad boys for a while as I've filled my first one.

It's hard to justify the cost from the US but in reality my cards need a home that can be easily grabbed,viewed and enjoyed rather than stored in a shoe box in the bottom of a cupboard.

Ross, What is so special about these Bad Boys as they look like normal folders Please any differences?

They are top loader binders, so as you can store your cards in top loaders in a binder.

I have long considered getting one of these for my really high end cards. Like you, the cost has prohibited me so far.

Can you throw up pictures of a couple of full pages?

 

[bob]

Ross, Thanks for the information.

Do they only hold 35pt top loaders?

Yep a standard 3×4 toploader up to 100pt work just fine.

Thanks. Do you mind letting me know how much postage was?

There in lies the dilemma....what cards are worthy of a top loader and storing in the binder. I am pondering this again at this very moment and struggling with the decision.

I am on my 7th Select St George Club Album with base / cards / commons and low end inserts. I have 3 Select St George Club Albums with my IPs in them and probably need to pick up another couple of these club albums for the future.

So at the moment I roughly keep any insert worth $10 or more in the Top Loader binder but that excludes early Scanlens like 1974 which when I think about it I could easily put in the Top Loader Binder as these MINT cards are worth plenty but do you break up a set to put say a Langlands card in there? I couldn't do this as I like to see a full set when I'm browsing the collection. Originally I went every insert but really things like Faces of the Game etc are just not worthy and it filled the binder too quickly. Anyone with thoughts on how I decide what I should store in them I'm keen to hear.

Here's a couple of full page shots with a penny sleeve/ top loader / and the heavier PVC sheet the light reflects a lot with pictures, I also leave empty pockets where I am still looking for a card and that wastes a few pages but saves the hassle of constantly moving them around:




Also note the are about 5cm taller than a normal binder so storing them in my bookcase was an issue:

They charge about $100 shipping for 1 folder, but I did it a bit differently by using a local US address and combining multiple items.

Tough call, especially for a Dragons collector.

Personally I keep all base, parallels and the odd base IP I have in standard 3 or 4 ring binders.

I have all my inserts in year order in Select club folders but need to purchase a couple more as I haven't yet 'foldered' my 17 Traders & Xtreme.

Personally I would have all serial numbered hits In a top loader binder.

Thanks, yeah if I was to get one I would probably do the same and send it to MyMallBox

Yeah you see my issue because then what do you do with the early cards 1948 to 1994.....

MyMallBox still worked out to be $95 for shipping

 

[hobo]

Approx 4Kg (the pages add the weight) and 35cm x 17cm x 25cm

Awesome Ross, need some of these for myself but they're just so expensive!

I struggled with it myself and decided I would be OK spending $100-$150 on a single card so spending that on a folder that holds 180 of them shouldn't be a problem.

Solid justification.

Hey Ross,

I wouldn't have as many cards as you in my titans collection but I decided to go by the rule of anything that is A serial number, signature card, redemption or anything with a ratio higher than 1 per box goes in the top loader binder.
