All others are in normal penny sleeves with the rest of my '75 set. Sure they slide around a bit, but that's just freedom, man. It's like wearing boxers instead of briefs. They got some room to jiggle around a bit. <br /><br />If that mental imagery proves too much for you to bear, do this: <br />1)get an X-acto knife, a ruler, scotch tape and a thick piece of cardboard the size of a normal card. <br />2)put the cardboard in a normal 9-pocket page pocket.<br />3)use the ruler to measure out the width of a mini plus about a quarter-inch to a half inch or so wiggle room. <br />4)carefully slit the pocket(back side of the page for aesthetic value)From just above the bottom seam to just below the top seam.<br />5)use the tape to seal the back of the page to the inside of the pocket. Use a second piece to seal up the flap on the back if you wish.<br />6)repeat 9 times per page without:<br />a)slicing through the page completely<br />b)slicing through <i>you</i> completely.<br />7)Do this 74 times for a full 660 card set (or 37 if you want to double up - but leave a little more slack)<br /><br />I'd just be lazy and let' em jiggle a bit.dayfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09343838411856677615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-59458570896319799192011-11-21T12:06:47.905-05:002011-11-21T12:06:47.905-05:00I've been storing mine in a box with the base ...I've been storing mine in a box with the base cards, but that isn't ideal; I'd rather store in a sheet, for sure.<br /><br />Is the Koufax regular card with Brooklyn (vs. this one being LA)?<br /><br />I didn't realize the different photos, either. Just from the ones you posted - in addition to Koufax, both the Jones-es (Andruw/Adam), Dejesus and Teixeira all have different photos. This is an interesting phenomenon...<br /><br />Also, the regular Reggie 75 mini *(Yanks) is different from the one with the relic (A's).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-2285885457279677912011-11-21T09:13:21.470-05:002011-11-21T09:13:21.470-05:00I didn't notice that some minis had different ...I didn't notice that some minis had different pictures than the base set cards. I think Adam Jones mini has a different picture than the base set. If I remember correctly, the base card shows him batting.Ryan Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07797481743677208484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-69843405097247250062011-11-21T04:10:37.166-05:002011-11-21T04:10:37.166-05:00I have not yet found anything that works for these...I have not yet found anything that works for these. As it is, I store my '75 minis right in the same pocket as their full-sized version.<br /><br />Without a better option, it keeps them from sliding around, even if it does give an interesting effect to the card itself.Chris Stufflestreethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04229983444919282224noreply@blogger.com
