I do have to find where I can buy bigger teambags, that fit properly. The ones I have don't close, so I put a small piece of scotch tape at the top, so it doesn't fall off. Don't like my holders to be scratched.

Sets & singles are in plastic storage boxes. This makes it easy for you to see which is which, without writing on the boxes. Inserts are all placed together by product, unless they are over, say $30, then I put them in toploaders or magnetic holders.

The holders are placed in cardboard card shoeboxes. This makes my collection look organized. I do have to go back & type up what is in each box & then thinking about using adhesive to stick the printout on the boxes. Don't want my collection to look unorganized or tacky. In case I have to try to sell the entire collection one day.

My older cards are in snap-holders or toploaders & teambags. Sets or singles are in small card storage boxes.. the singles from nicer sets are all in pennysleeves, then cardboard boxes. i.e. 92-93 Hoops, Skybox, Ultra, Finest, UD, SP, SPX when they first came out. I started doing this when Shaq came out. I thought his RC cards were going to be a fortune. I was only 13 back then.

I collected from 1990 to 95-96, briefly from 99-01, then the addiction got to me in April 2007. I actually started collecting in 87, at the age of 7, but didn't know cards were worth money until 1990, when moved & found out what a baseball card shop was.. First card shop I been to was called GrandSlam in Santa Barbara, Ca. A small card shop put them out of business 3 years after I found it. The new shop never had a name, except "card shop" It was about 1/5 the size of the first one I seen. Now, there is one card shop in Santa Barbara & the guy has been trying to sale it for over a year.

Here are a few pics of how I store my cards. enjoy.

holy high end batman!

I go by the same basic principle but on a budget haha. I'll put anything $10 or over in a top loader, then $50+ in a magnetic holder (of which I have just 2 total) I have sets and singles in the leftover 3-ring binders I used when I collected as a kid and the rest in boxes with nicer ones in penny sleeves.
I collect Michael Jordan, Mitch Richmond, and Ohio State players (football and basketball) in OSU gear. I strongly prefer 90's-era cards and use newer cards primarily for trade bait!
