Should o-pee-chee 4 panel box bottoms be cut or left uncut. Any ideas how to store uncut panels other than a trash can. Also have some goofy team logo patches that dont fit penny sleeves....your thoughts ?

Well, please don't trash can them! 8x10 sheets would work best I do think. Well, when I finally get to sheet my panels that's my plan. As to cut of leave intact, that's a personal choice. In my collecting journey, I'm shooting to get a full panel and also cut cards for each one. So, in essence, all depends on what your journey is and what you want out of your collection.

And yes, probably some gibberous in there; too much wine tonight. 

If left in 4-card panels, the full page sheets work nicely. If you don't like them like that, and are keeping them for yourself, then by all means, separate them into individual cards.

I just put the box bottom I have into a comic sleeve + cardboard backer.   I have the entire box still and collapsed it with the original folds.

I just leave them empty (I'm not good with scissors), although I guess you could flatten them out too? For the "patches" or thick "logo/emblem" cards I use an ultra pro team set bag. They work pretty good. 

The 5" x 8" top loaders are perfect for storing box bottom panels.

I'm torn (or cut?) whether to leave these intact or not. I've got a couple of these uncut and separated of the same set. My intent is to keep them, and if I ended up separating them I'd place the rest up for trade. 

Storing these isn't difficult if the panel is made up of regular size cards in a 2x2 array, but some Drake's sets in a 1x4 setup are problematic to store whole.

Thanks for the good ideas 

I also collect both the cut cards and the panels if I can find them. I use the letter size sheet protectors to hold them in my album.

They look good either way. I have seen them graded by a Canadian company named iCert. If you want more information on them, please contact me directly via private message.
