Personally, except for my few graded cards, I exclusively keep my cards in pages and binders, but I'm VERY spefiic about what I use - I only use Avery EZ-D Heavy Duty binders, 5" or 6", because of the large storage capacity and the extremely gentle slope on both sides of the ring, which prevents page curling. For sheets, I only use UltraPro Platinum. I have 5 such binders so far. The only exception is a small 1" binder I have for my local AHL hockey franchise. I'd show you some pictures, but I'm not sure if you can attach images here. 

I keep my personal collection in binders with each set getting its own binder. I have combined some of my vintage non-sports into a single binder based on theme. For instance, all Arm & Hammer sets are combined into one binder. My "traders" are mostly stored in BCW card houses. They are sorted by sport, brand, and year. I like the 800 count boxes with removeable lids much better than the "flip-top" style. They make pulling cards easier. For sets on my trade list in which I have over 1,600 cards, I use 3,200 count boxes. I also have a couple sets in 5,000 count monster boxes.

Here's a couple pic's. It is a work in progess. I use the file cabinet to store collecting and shipping supplies. 3,200 count boxes and larger plus all unsorted cards are stored on a large industrial shelving unit.
