    I store out sets in 2 piece 800 ct boxes and they fit into card houses which holds 12 of the 800 ct boxes. BCW supplies has them if you want to check out pics of them, sorta neat way to store lot of cards in a small place. I also sleeve each card that goes in those boxes. As far as what to collect just collect what you want, we collect sets and several players. We are mostly baseball as well and most sites I trade on baseball is the bigger thing to collect.

    ok Thanks I store My sets In 800 count boxes too just not into card houses ive seen them before i do sleeve some of my cards but i have a lot of mix and match boxes of cards mostly commons from 1980-1995 hopefully they will go up in value a little in the future
    i mainly collect boxes and boxes of the same cards because i want to put more than one of that set together to sell eventually

    One more question

    how do you put your sets together just say you bought a box of 2000 1990 Topps Cards With lots of doubles and more and you wanted to put a set together how would you do it in the fastest way

    Are you talking about sorting them into sets or just putting them together. I trade for what I can. When I sort cards out to put into sets I usually make stacks of 1-99, 100-199, 200-299, ect

    The last couple days I have been going thru UD cards and I found it easier to get a empty 3200 ct box and make dividers with index cards labeled with what year goes behind them and just started with about 16 800 ct boxes all mixed up and just started filing them away. Takes some time no matter how you do it though and the back gets very tired real quick or at least with me it does but I'm getting older nowdays.

    I order all of mine from www.bcwsupplies.com

    Probably the best place to get them from

    You have to order 50 or so to get a price cut on them. I think they show if you order 50 there .66 cents each plus shipping. What I try to do is save up some cash and put a decent order in at once and get the free shipping.
