What's the most expensive card you have in a 9-pocket page?

Reno McCoy · 02-15-2021, 01:23 PM

My son (who's only 11) was shocked to see that I had put a few $10 cards in my 9-pocket pages. For him, anything valuable in the slightest goes into a top loader (and I'm all for that).

But it did get me thinking...what's the most expensive card you have in a 9-pocket page?

Do you tend to use pages for low end stuff?

I'm currently not doing any sets, but if I'm doing a set ALL cards go in a binder. Have had entire 1955 Bowman, 1941 Playball, 1933-35 Diamond Kings and 1953 Topps all in Binders

I haven’t used pages since I was in my early 20s.

as a set builder, I use sheets for most everything unless I purchased it in a slab.

I store them side by side in 12x18 paper boxes which has worked really well.

I built each of my sons a set of Donruss for the year they were born and put it all into pages/a binder.

My oldest was born in 2017, so I currently have a $200-$300 card (the Mahomes rookie) in a binder. It'll stay there until he's old enough to do with it what he wants.

My entire 1960-1997 Dallas Cowboys' collection is in 9 pocket pages in binders. So I have $100, $200, $300 cards in there. I put a sleeve on them before I slide them in the page. I don't like looking through my collection and having those separate.

Whatever’s the most valuable card from the 2014 topps chrome set. So probably $1

RustyDawg37 · 02-15-2021, 02:30 PM

one of these

ATM prob like a $25 Mike Ditka Pro Line Auto. As long as cards arnt thick, I have no issue with them in pages.

Kingofkings1281 · 02-15-2021, 02:37 PM

All of my binders are over at my moms house. Next time I’m over there I assume I’ll be pulling a lot of cards from the MJ, Kobe and LeBron binders. There should be a ton of chrome, refractors, inserts and lower end rookies.

mfw13 · 02-15-2021, 04:26 PM

I probably have Topps Heritage autos worth upwards of $500 in nine pocket pages....

When I ran a card store in 1993, someone brought in their 53’ Topps SET in a binder w pages. I mean 1993, but still.
I offered him hard sleeves at cost.

7nohitter · 02-15-2021, 05:25 PM

I have the 1957 and 60 baseball sets in binders....so Kaline, Mantles, Williams....yup, #@#@#@#@ you...right into the binder!

AnthonyCorona · 02-15-2021, 06:17 PM

I’m currently moving all my rainbows to a binder to make them easier to look at so I’ll have a couple of superfractors I’ve overpaid for. Probably $120 at the most

Sounds like most people don't use them anymore. I prefer looking at rainbows and parallels in pages. *shrug*

wrp1989 · 02-15-2021, 06:29 PM

I still use binders and pages...I do the same thing, any stars up to $10 goes in a binder. Anything above that goes in top loader

GatorPie · 02-15-2021, 06:48 PM

A 1997 Chrome Refractor Tony Gonzalez as part of my set.

This is such a cool idea

fatjacksonfan · 02-15-2021, 06:56 PM

Little 7 year old me put an Eli Manning topps rookie autograph into a binder with no sleeve, and I would always take it out and shove it back in (twss) and it's an all black border card, so it's dinged to heck, but I still have it, and probably always will since I was my first "big pull" so it's not too big a deal for me!

LCM1223 · 02-15-2021, 07:13 PM

Wasn’t much at the time but from one pack of 2011 Chrome I pulled a Trout Refractor #175 and in the page it went for a couple months. Once they started fetching $10, into a penny sleeve and toploader it went
