Hi All, Wink Cheesy Grin,

Just wanted to know if this is still the best way to store base sets and other cards ,or if other people have any other methods of storage to share with me.

Cheers

Paul

I keep one set of base cards in the nine pocket sheets in a binder.  I also keep my autos and most of the props/costumes this way as well.  The really thick cards are in 4 pocket sleeves which are a bit big but the only other option if you want them in the binder.  The only one I am totally stuck on where to keep is my wand card - this protrudes above the surface of the card and really can't be kept in a binder.

I know some Shackers keep their spare base sets in 9 pocket sleeves as they say it is cheaper to post them this way if they sell them.  Personally I think this is way too expensive.  Currently I am putting my spare base sets in the little clip top plastic boxes but again this is a pricey and space consuming way of doing it.  I have been trying to get some storage boxes from a company in America that Anna kindly suggested but their postage is prohibitively expensive so I am still on the search for the perfect solution  Grin

Hi All Wink Cheesy Grin,

Morning all,also we was wandering we have the 4 pocket sleeves for the larger Harry Potter Wizards Of The Coast Cards but over here in uk im finding it very hard to find binders for these ,does anyone know where I might be able to buy one as we are wanting to put these cards in sleeves but haven't as dont have binder yet. The only other idea had was to hole punch more holes in to it but if I can get away with doing that it will be better.

Cheers

I am pretty sure there was no binder for this set Paul.  But what type of pages are you using?  They should be special card pages that don't eat away at the cards with nasty chemicals.  The special sort usually have lots of holes down the spine so that they fit in most binders.  The ones to fit the Wizard cards actually have 6 pockets if you can get hold of them.

I'm using the Ultra-Pro 9 and 6 pocket sleeves just i havent been able to find a normal binder to hold these pages as I was told in a stationary shop called Rymans in uk that the kind of binder I was after is an american style, as the only ones I can buy are the lever arch binders for 2 holes and not 4 as the sleeves are.

I store all the cards I have in 9 Pocket Pages, I got 3 ring binders from a local department store BIG W. but if you have something like a Target or K-Mart, over there, they would sell them.  Maybe look on ebay ??

It zips shut and keeps the dust out. Looks pretty good too in real life. Better than the picture shows. Price is right, too.

Paul I use lever arch files for my sheets when I am desperate (I use the same Ultra Pro as you).  If you look down the spine there is an assortment of holes and the middleish ones do fit the lever arch or the three hole ones like deza992450 suggested.  If you have a Stationary Box near you they are a bit cheaper than Woolworths  Grin

As I work for Woolworths, I have to say Stationary Box might be cheaper but Woolworths are better quality.  Wink  Grin

Basically there wasn't a "Big" demand for them. Where not making enough profit etc

It's the same with MVC (If you can remember them) that was a Woolies company they sold it before Xmas as it wasn't making enough profit. After Xmas it closed down completly and now it's a distant memory.

As with anything if it isn't making money it has to go.

But the one thing I don't understand is Woolies Group isn't just the high street shop it's Woolies www.woolworths.co.uk
Streets Online http://www.streetsonline.co.uk/ 2entertain http://www.2entertain.co.uk/ and Entertainment UK http://www.entuk.com/index2.html which supplies Tesco with CD's and DVD's  Wink and they sold MVC as they couldn't compete with them.

Madness to me!  ROFL!

& now theres Wollies and Comet together! Hope that answers your question Sharon

I saw those at Wal-Mart, but was afraid to buy one because I thought the corners of the pages would get crushed by the zipper.  So I take it that everything fits fine inside?

Perfectly fine. And believe me (I'm a "recovering" stamp collector) condition is the top of my priority list.

Morning All Wink Cheesy Grin,

Does anyone know where we might be able to purchase binders that zip up so can keep our sets dust free or items similar. I saw the post on the batman child binder but was late but just need general type to house all cards?
If anyone know's of any links to shops that do these will be great.

Cheers

You have to be careful of binders with zippers.  The Batman one is large enough to accomodate 9-pocket pages without damaging the cards, but that may not be true of other binders.
