You seem to keep up with your sorting, certainly better than I.

Yeesh, thats what happens when you take a hobby break for bit.

Take some of those thinner plain dummy blanks, the security "theft protection" cards from Target blasters and packs would do nicely I think. With an exacto knife cut out the center of the blank to the size (just slightly bigger) of the minis. Then place the mini in the frame like a jigsaw puzzle piece. You might have to secure it in a penny sleeve. Then slide the whole thing into the pocket. From my experience of putting penny sleeves into the 9 pocket pages is depending on the room of the pocket it either works very well and looks nice or it is a tight fit that causes the sleeve to wrinkle and wave about. IF that doesn't work the same sort of idea would to be to use the A&G frames they use for the mini autos and other "mini" cards that get special frames. Some collectors take all minis out of those things so you might need to request that those who do that save the frames and send them to you. Or maybe one of those custom card guys might have some of those frames around.CaptKirk42https://www.blogger.com/profile/16039278539984069944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5342310663064800554.post-34159673595824720062017-07-13T07:59:31.816-05:002017-07-13T07:59:31.816-05:00You gotta get those non-baseball cards off that ni...You gotta get those non-baseball cards off that nightstand, boy...hell,what's another binder or 3?..ha-ha!!Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17028310351744038097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5342310663064800554.post-52106425822137403682017-07-13T07:24:55.479-05:002017-07-13T07:24:55.479-05:00Great post, Nick.

Sometimes I dread the sorting process, but there's other times where I rely on it to help bring me a little serenity after a rough day. <br />You have a whole draw of cards (like the Sayers) that don't fit into your collection? Let me know if you want more... some hockey, FB, basketball, and then a pile of just weird stuff.

Haven't pulled the trigger yet. Kind of nervous about walking down that path.Fujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749100861086458307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5342310663064800554.post-87495167730291710902017-07-12T19:31:58.993-05:002017-07-12T19:31:58.993-05:00It's funny, because just earlier today GCA pos...It's funny, because just earlier today <a href="https://thecollectivemind.blogspot.com/2017/07/take-up-hunt.html" rel="nofollow">GCA posted</a> the realization that it's damn near impossible to find a baseball card with a photo of a catcher giving a pitch sign (and when you stop to think about it and look for one.. yeah, for some reason you never see that on a card). But then there you go with that Ben McDonald, which is about as close as you can get, even he was just goofing around.defgavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15338984361942309651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5342310663064800554.post-47247870513175243832017-07-12T18:32:13.590-05:002017-07-12T18:32:13.590-05:00These are my absolute favorite type of posts.

And I doubly love the peeks at individual album pages and 'systems' of creating those pages, etc. As a Mets fan, I'm (of course) a big fan of that Matt Harvey page. Very sharp!<br /><br />Thanks for sharing, Nick, and keep 'em coming!!Mark Kazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06742272751796497047noreply@blogger.com
