Card Storage

Has anyone come up with a good method of storing the cards once they have been collected? They are too big for standard trading card sleeves although they may (I'm guessing) just about fit into a flip photo album type of thing as they look about 6x4 (Although I haven't got a ruler to hand to check Confused )

Any ideas or suggestions?

i was thinking about this today. i just checked and they fit quite nicely into a 6x4 photo album, so i'll probably use something like that to store them.

The only problem I can see with that idea is that you would not be able to see the back of each card...

There are some clear plastic notebook page size holders for business cards and computer disks - so maybe there are some built for 6x4"?
And there are probably some photo albums that are clear on both sides (you put in pictures back-to-back).
Sounds like a great idea.
I got a photo album while in NYC and I think I'll put my cards in it (since all my pictures are digital anyway).

I've been using one of the bags at the top of this page.

It probably does not keep the cards as safe as in an album type thing, but it is certainly a lot more easy to carry around and looks cooler.

well here are two photos of what I'm using to hold my cards, they are I think just over 6x4" as I had to do a bit of testing in the photo albums section of WHSmith to get my card to fit...

(as you can see, I also did a very neat trace of the PerplexCity logo to stick on the front cover)...

LOL, yeah you got exactly the same one as I, and same price. used to be 19.99 now £10. I found that this one was the only one that could fit the cards in, the rest I had to struggle to get inside the pockets.

Any of you Europeans want to ship me some of those card slips? Laughing I cant manage to find a place to order them online and it could be a while before I need to make a trip to the nearest Staples.

The cards are just about "continental postcard" sized: 4 1/8 x 5 7/8. Any sleeves (loose cards) or albums (including pages where both sides of the card can be viewed) built for continental postcards should work well for these guys. http://www.the2buds.com/ has some nice offerings...

Ah thank you! These look like they will work perfect:

I measured and they will fit with about 1/4in space at the top of the card.

Edit: Ouch.. $7+ for shipping. I think I am better off running to the nearest office supply store and buying some. Though $12 (not including shipping) for 50 pages seems like a good deal.

The cards are A6 metric paper size, not in inches, if that's what _ender was asking. 105x148 mm.
