Nice finds! How do you store them for collection? Books? Flips? 2x2's?

I tried several different ideas until I settled on this incarnation. I use card stock paper. I make the image black and white because I think it highlights the RPM so much better. I make the image fit within a 1.75 inch square. I use the CONECA attribution number on the front, and the Copper Coins and Cherry Picker's number go on the label adhered to the back. I thought about including the Wexler number as well, but it did not all fit on the label very well. I may still go back and add it if I can find some 1.5 inch square labels.

I take so many images...I'll print them out at preview size, print them out and try your idea! B&W is impressive too. I've got all mine in flips...this is a better way to catalogue them!! Thanks.

I have two other projects that I am half heartedly diving into. I am basing these two projects off of John Wexler. Each will be in it's own three ring binder. One will be all of the 1959 RPM's and the other all of the 1960 RPM's. I may never finish either one or the Top 100 for that matter, but I am going to give it one heck of a try.

I have my 1959 & 1960 in the same three ring binder. 1961-1989 in a separate one, and one for wheat RPMs. I have 563 different RPMs and 369 different doubled dies. (Not counting duplicates. Some are unlisted doubled dies but from different die pairs.)

The 1956-D RPM-001 was my first. I found it in a jar at my grandmother's house. I was hooked from that day forward.
