I'm contemplating lamenating some of the old ones. Would that help or hurt them? |

Laminating might look good at first, but it might be harmful in the long run. You might be better off simply framing them under glass. As for mine, they not displayed. They sit in boxes. The older ones would make for a good display, though. |

They had the clear sheets with 4 larger pockets instead of the 9 regular size trading card pockets. So I loaded up on those and put all my FCs in there in order by rank. Joes all together then Cobras, then IGs. I have to be careful not to hold the binder upside down, some FCs readily slide out. But its the best method I have found so far. I had to trim down a few of my cards as well. But the redback FCs wont need to be trimmed to fit which is a plus. |

Just ask for 4-pocket binder pages, they should know what you are talking about. You could also try Target (longshot), they usually have a shelf near the register lanes stocked with Baseball and Football cards. I have seen 9-pocket pages there, but I dunno about the 4-pocket. |

Try this site. These are the ones I have, still a bit pricey. I was getting them 5 for a dollar. http://www.the2buds.com/supg4.htm Here is another site if you want to buy a lot in bulk, a lot cheaper, about 14 cents a piece. These are the also the ones I have. http://www.cardclubusa.com/CardClubUSA/UP%204%20Pocket%20Postcard%20Pages.htm Here is the same site, but a more expensive product. You still would have to buy in bulk and the pages would be 20 cents each. http://www.cardclubusa.com/CardClubUSA/BCW%204%20Pocket%20Pages.htm |

I have a metal drawer that was used to hold some type of cards (maybe those old school library Dewey Decimal cards). The drawer itself is about 5 inches tall and slightly over 6 inches wide. It is probably about 15 inches deep. The drawer slides into a metal box-like a filing cabinet. I have all my ARAH, Streetfighter, MK, and other stuff (filecards I'm missing wrote out on 3x5 index cards) in it. Anything after 94 I haven't cut down and is in a drawer of my plastic roll-around drawer thingee. |
