I try to keep most cards in sheets & binders... it's probably the most
economical. Cards that like to curl, I put into soft sleeves and then into a
semi-rigid top load. When possible, I try to keep the card binder in plastic
storage cases to prevent water damage if my basement were to ever flood.

I have had two bad experiences with storing cards. I had a hologram that
deteriorated in a snap card holder. I also had cards deteriorate in plastic
sheets. The sheets were built into the "offical binder" that came with the
cards. If you store cards in plastic, you need to make sure that they are
PVC-free.

Ahh, but there's value, then there's value L.

I figure I'll enjoy mine for the next 20 years in the nice condition
they're in
(not counting the years I've already been collecting as an 'adult').

Never got 20 years worth of enjoyment out of the ones I collected as a
kid..'outgrew' 'em, and my mother threw them out at some point. So, say
what...8-10 years worth out of those, maybe.

Figure I'll be ahead of the game in 'value' :+)
