Hey Guys

I have come to the point where my Belle pin collection is getting bigger and bigger and I want to know good ways of storing/displaying your collection whilst still on their backing cards.

Are the Disney Trading Bags a good idea? If so I live in the UK so where would be best to get one for a good price?

Any help/ideas/advice would be awesome :)

If you want to keep your pins on the cards I wouldn't bother with a pin bag, I would use trading card pages instead. Ultra-pro make really good ones for around 20p a page (you can find them in most trading card/comic book shops or online) and they hold 9 pins a page. No good for the larger backing cards like the ones on some DA pins or the PODM backings but most other pins fit. This is how I store my trader pins on cards.

You can then keep these in a binder.

Obviously there are many more options for display/storage if you take your pins off the card, if you did you can use small post it notes on each backing card so you remember which one belongs to each pin?

I hope that helps!
 
I've been using pin bags for my pins since the start, but I also don't use cards. So I definitely second the advice above. (You can also use the binder pages if you don't have the original card.)
 
UltraPro is good. They also make 6-pocket pages, 4-pocket pages and 2 pocket-pages for the larger pins/card backs. The PODMs will fit on the 2-pocket pages, although for PODMs, I recommend something like this:

Goofy Moe is the first one I saw use that type of storage compartment. You can get it at Michael's (in the US) for $39.99 (regular price) so wait for the 40-50% off coupons and get it cheaper.
 
Thanks so much for the advice guys. I might go for the Ultra Pro holders, Ive also found similar holders with bigger compartments for bigger pins :)
