One of the benefits of a player you like going through the dreaded sophmore slump, is that you are able to pick up cards of them a lot more readily. And cheaply too. Mr Heyward is an example of that.
I've gone from not even seeing cards of his as people hoard them away in tightly sealed vaults, to being able to pick them up at card shows and card shops whenever I want.
I visited one of the local shops awhile back and they brought out this little beauty from behind the counter.
Here's a shiny Phil Hughes to demonstrate.
Jason set me back $1.25.
Now the only problem is........ how the hell am I going to store this sucker???

It's a nice photograph of Jason.
You could probably toss it into a graded team bag.
I am having the same problem with my Troy Tulowitzki from that set. I think they make a 4 pocket page that would probably work fine. The problem with that is, can you find three other cards you want to keep the page from looking empty. Well not so much a problem for a Braves collector, you guys get all the cool cards.
You could find some original 1964's to fill out your page. Most are still pretty cheap. There's a Warren Spahn on Ebay now for 5 bucks shipped. Joe Torre's in the set too. There are a couple of Aaron's with .99 starting bids.
Trimming it to fit into a sleeve is probably out of the question?
