I love the odd ball oversized and mini cards. Currently looking at my office wall with some oversized cards on it...

I don’t like mini cards or oversized cards. So much so that I don’t even consider them part of my collection. Any mini cards I have opened from packs I have just been giving to my son and he seems to enjoy them so that’s good. The only 1/1 I ever pulled was a mini card, which I ended up trading. I also once gave a SN mini card to the owner of a local card shop that used to be near me and I asked him to give it away to a customer.
If I ever get into vintage collecting which some day I would like to, I’d put the cutoff at 1957 and later simply due to the card size.

I'm fine with most oversized and minis, but there are outliers that I avoid - though some do find their way onto my Want List. Those micro-minis are basically a no-go, as are 8x10s. All in between including discs are welcomed here.

If the cards are vintage and the set is oversized I'm good with that. I have some minis which are a smaller copy of the original set and I think why?

I love oversize, minis and oddball cards especially discs and coins. I find they store well in binders with the proper pages. As for storage for oversized cards I find that comic bags and boards work fine then store them in a empty pages box

Just my opinion - Don't care for mini or over-sized cards, though i will collect them if they are my PC team or player. Otherwise, don't like them. Oddball, I'm cool with. It's fun to find stuff I've never seen before.

I really like mini cards for reasons I am not totally sure of. Jumbo cards, where I don't love them, I hunt them down for my PC.
As far as storage goes I don't see any problem when it comes to any size card. Where there is a will, there is a convenient way.

I guess I am in a minority, I do not like minis or oversized cards. It isn't that I don't like them as cards, I am just weird about uniformity. I do have some minis, micros, wide vision and oversized/box topper cards so I guess I do appreciate them a little.

I'm OK with mini cards as they still fit in holders just as regular cards. Oversized cards are a no-no in my collection. I don't even put them in my want list. To me, it's a hassle to figure out what to do with them.

There are supplies to accommodate them, and members here have traded (and given) them to each other before.
