Best way to store partial vintage set?

I have 1/2 of a complete 1970 Topps baseball set from my childhood. There are 720 cards in the set and I have about 400 cards, with some duplicates. Yes, my mother, may she rest in peace, had the foresight to give me them rather than throwing them out. About 5 or 6 cards I had graded by PSA such as the Clemente, Seaver, Munson, and Aaron. They graded 6's and 7's. The remaining cards I would say average PSA 6 but I am sure there are some PSA 8's in there, although probably not the major stars. What is the best way to store, i.e., boxes, loose leafs, etc.? Thanks!!!!

    penny sleeves, then in a hard toploader, then in a toploader box.

    Although binders are better if you actually want to look at your cards often.
    Running an Ebay store sure takes a lot more time than a person would think!

    Considering the condition of the cards, I think top loaders are over kill. I'd go with sheets and a binder.

    Or just put the stars in top loaders and keep the commons in plastic or cardboard boxes if you don't plan on viewing and handling them often.

    Thanks, guys for your recommendations. I actually went to Staples today and picked up a nice binder and eighty Avery 9 pocket trading card sheets. Avery says they are Acid-Free to protect the cards. Sounds good to me.

    ultra pro is probably better.

    However, I have no knowledge about Avery baseball card pages, I didn't even know they made any.
