How do you store your vintage cards?

[Hawaiian BamBam]

for those of you that collect vintage cards, how do you organize/store your vintage? the two options that im thinking of for vintage are;

1. place cards in penny sleeves, then in albums (one album each for 1950's, 1960's, 1970's and 1980's.


2. place cards in penny sleeves, then top loaders, then by year in three row cardboard boxes.

your thoughts, please.

The same way I store all of my better cards/PC.

Penny sleeve, top loader and then they go into some form of a monster box in alphabetical order.

Any card that BV's over $100, goes into a Pro Mold Case....................$50 - $100, penny sleeve, top load, 1600 count box....................Anything else, penny sleeve and set card box.........................I don't have enough space to fill boxes and boxes with top loads of vintage cards.......................All my card are sorted by year and card number.........................I have my 1973 Topps complete set in album pages except for the Schmidt / Cey RC; see above.................................

I think this is a great thread. I know someone out there has thought of better ideas than how I currently store older cards. Does anyone have a custom made wooden cabinet with pull out drawers for their sets? (I'm thinking of like how libraries used to categorize their library boxes on index cards...you know, dewey decimal stuff).

index card cabinets, ohhhh the memories that brings back !
If you can find one it would be perfect for storing cards in top loads.
Materials handling companies probably have something similar.
