Not me...all my cards are in binder pages. What wrong with that?

Nothing at all. I like storing my cards on my bike so the spokes make that cool clicking noise!

Seriously though, if you had a Nolan Ryan RC in that shape, it would be in a binder? I've had too many bad experiences with my own binders to risk it!

I'd have it in a top loader + team bag AT MINIMUM and getting shipped off to be slabbed ASAP.

LOL. The spokes were where most of my Mets cards 'met' their fate
But I have to agree, I've had some bad binder experiences in the past. My older cards survived better in a cigar box than the binder.
If it were mine, That Nolan Ryan RC would be in a 35pt one touch in a team bag! But that's just me

Top loader is a semi-rigid plastic case. You usually put the card in a penny sleeve (costs about a penny... sold in 100 count packs for a buck), then place the card in a top-loader. The team back is just a bag that has a sticky flap that can help protect it from liquids etc...

Just make sure that as long as you have it in the binder, that THE BINDER IS IN A SAFE SPOT!

I'm a binder guy, but my really valuable ones are in one touches and then sealed (clear taped over the flap) into a 4 pocket page. Cards are organized like all the rest, and protected.

I recently transferred all of my cards from shoe boxes to binders. The better cards(not that I have many of those) are in top loaders but all my sets are in binders or still in factory sealed boxes. Personal choice. Plus I enjoy looking at them from time to time.

Wow, Those Rose cards in the first scan are amazing!

There is a few in there that need to be sent in for grading.

It would be helpful if you lived near someone who could look at these closer and could maybe give you a little better advise on what ones to send off.

Whatever you decide, you have an amazing collection that was passed down.

[petillo64]

Wow!!! The super-high valued ones (Rose RC etc...) could be sent in to be graded, or just authenticated (to make sure no trimming etc... has been done) and it will help.

Other cards I definitely would get graded...
Bench RC
Bench 2nd year
69 brooks robinson
69, 72, 73, 74 Clementes
Brock RC
65, 67, 69 batting leaders

I'm far from a grading expert (I've done a lot more buying than submitting) but that's what I would send in based on the scans. Other people may be able to give you better input. I'm not sure if any of the other cards are Short-prints and have significant value other than the '63 Tom Tresh.

A lot of nice cards there! It was fun for me to just look at your scans! Congrats

[DrMitchJ]

That was fun! Definitely get the Bench RC graded ... It looks really sharp!

All those worthless, horrible, space-wasting Yankee cards should be immediately shipped out to me
... Along with those Bob Clemente cards ... He was never as good as his estranged twin, Roberto < kidding > ..... Bob is Roberto ... Just always thought it was funny that his earlier cards were issued as Bob! And the Yankee cards aren't as valuable as the rest of your fine collection, but are still really cool!
