I purchased a collection some time ago and within it was a 2001 Topps Golden Anniversary Baseball Card set that is tighlty packed in a cherry wood box.  My concern is that the cards are going to brick if left in the original wooden box because they are so tightly pressed together. Each card has a gloss finish. Normally I would place these in binder pages, but with the finish, should I penny sleeve them before putting them in the binders pages? Would they even fit with the penny sleeve on them?

Lastly, for those of you that store your cards in binders, do you have a go too binder page / brand? 

(My storage is dry and cool, so humidity isnt really a factor.) 

For the Twins I use Ultra Pro Platinum. It is more, "advanced," and nicer than regular Ultra Pro. They have the silver hologram on the top left with the word Platinum along the side so thats how I know the difference. That is my go to for keeping special cards safe. 

Well, first of all, if they have been in there since 2001, they are already bricked together after 20 years like that.  If they are still loose, then you are probably fine leaving them in there.  I have roughly 30% of my PC in binders and I agree with TwinKiller, the Ultra Pro Platinum is the way to go.

Baseball is like Church, many attend but few understand.
