I think I recall someone at sometime mentioning using either baseball card or some other type of binder sleeve for storing their filecards. I want something I can display on a bookshelf and flip through every now and again. I hate the idea of having all these filecards and shoving them in a box. So any ideas or suggestions on what size/type of sleeves/pages I should look for?

4 x 6 photo album is the way to go, until we get something like they have for baseball cards.

Heres an Album I made up for my filecards. I found the sleeves on ebay from a sports card memorabilia place and bought a bunch of them. The rest is just labels and stuff I printed up to organize it well. Also the pages I used have alot of room in the pockets so for those that don't like to trim you filecards close you have some room in there.

Edit: Found the pages on ebay if anyone wants to pick some up.

Man that is a way cool idea!

I'd think anything you could use for postcards or 3x5 photos would work.


Stay away from anything adhesive, though. And make sure it's all archival-grade.

I tried photo albums and they got to be too bulky so that they wouldn't close. We had a discussion about this a few months back and Zombie Guide recomended post-card holders - so I ordered some on eBay but what I received wasn't what I had in mind - they were the wrong kind (singles instead of binder sleeves).

However, a few months back when at a Flea Market on Lincoln Hwy in Chambersburg, PA I came across a dealer that had a slew of binder storage products - for baseball cards, coins, and even POSTCARDS! They were perfect. So I took a picture of the brand name of the card holders so I could post it here. But some ass stole my cellphone before I posted it and that photo is lost to history.

I've had a hard time finding the original brand I saw at the flea market but the ones linked to above appear to be just as good. I can tell you that photo-albums don't work because the thickness of the cards will prvent the album from closing. But these postcard holders inserted into a D-size binder will be ideal.

I have a very similar setup to Carnage.

I use sports card albums and pages with different sized pockets.
