I have the same concern about space in my card room/bedroom. Organization never ends, because there's always a way to reshuffle and clear some space. I've noticed that my team PC binders have reached full capacity. Has that stopped me from trading for more Packers and Red Sox? No sir! :)Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10268829182522679026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5342310663064800554.post-17827891699425648992020-09-27T07:13:11.763-05:002020-09-27T07:13:11.763-05:00Great cards, but I agree the photograph takes the ...Great cards, but I agree the photograph takes the cake!shoeboxlegendshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11642879419337014960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5342310663064800554.post-5757992404690608232020-09-27T06:47:02.195-05:002020-09-27T06:47:02.195-05:00What a package.

Didn't even know that card existed. There was a time when I was excited to see my collection expand. The past five or six years... I've had to slow down due to lack of space. I feel like I can collect another decade or so before I need to start storing cards in my bedroom.Fujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749100861086458307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5342310663064800554.post-21048271960240810192020-09-25T21:58:03.007-05:002020-09-25T21:58:03.007-05:00Hi Nick

Your room sounds like my room 30 years ago- but now after 4 moves it is called a basement. There is always a spot for another binder or book in your collection. <br />If anyone wants one of my cards( I have about 10 or so available), just message me and I will send one out.
