I have several jumbo-sized cards that I don't know how to store. Presently they're in boxes on top of other cards, but I'm afraid they'll end up damaged eventually as I open the boxes and move them to sort through the cards. I cannot find any products to store them either. Any ideas or knowledge on what's available?

they do have large plastic holders (almost the same used for pictures) that you can use. i have a couple of Cabinet cards that are 5x7 and i use the larger plastic holders. i have seen others around in various sizes- unfort i don't think they have penny sleeves that size yet :-)
if not, you can also use a piece of cardboard for the backing (keeping it sturdy) and wrap it in celephane wrap for the meantime.

I have a few of the 2000 Topps Oversize cards. I found some ultra pro that hold four of these per page. They were either at Houston Sports Connection on Westheimer or might have picked them up at a store I visited in Dallas. Try Odyssey since I believe it is close to you. I started going there as I enjoy chatting with the owner. Told him I would start buying my Hobby boxes from him.

If it is made by a card manufacturer, there is a page or a top loader that it will fit in. There are several different sized 3- or 4-pocket pages that the larger cards can fit in, but be sure to check the card dimensions and the packet dimensions.

Before I posted I searched the net for such products with no luck. I even went to this vendor who supposedly only served collectors but found nothing. I'll keep looking.

Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them. |

Jeff, I'll check the Odyssey out. I go there, too, and talk to the guy. Maybe one day we'll meet there!

Ultra-Pro makes all kinds of page sizes. Besides 9-pocket pages, I also use 8-, 4-, 2-, and 1-pocket pages for my larger cards. 3- and 6-pocket pages are also available. Take a look.

What sizes do you guys (or gals) suggest for smaller cards like the 2011 Topps Kimball Champions and the Topps mini reprint editions?
