Looking for a Pin Trading Book (not bag)

[Belle]

Hi I am looking for a Pin Trading Book (binder, folder) not sure what the right word is?? :lol:

I already have a Bag which is the DLP 20th anniversary one but I don't like them I think they are so awkward to get the pins into..

I've seen some on instagram like this

Not sure if this person has made it themselves somehow I have no idea, I know the sleeves look like trading card ones but I've tried that already and none of my pins fit especially the larger ones..

If anyone can help I appreciate it thanks

Extra large binder with zipper and trading card pages

:like: Where can I find one of those kind of binders in the UK.. never seen those.

Oh and yes I know those are trading card pages but like I said in my first post I've tried those but my pins don't fit unless those ones in the photo are a different type.

Just a regular three-ring binder works for the base folder (though larger can be better, especially with the larger rings to make it easier to arrange and remove/insert pages!), and most pin backer cards should fit into the regular trading card pages, but for larger pins (jumbos, PODMs, etc.) you can get two- and four-pocket page protectors, which are the same dimensions as the trading card pages (so they fit into the binder without sticking out awkwardly on the sides) but are made for holding photographs or other larger things, and so work great for holding larger pins/pins with larger backer cards (UltraPro is the brand we got - maybe you can try ordering them online?).

For the most part, all trading card pages are the same sizes and can fit regular pin/cards like Hannamation said. 9-pins/cards to a page. UltraPro is one of the better brands out there and you want to look for the thicker card sheets.

http://www.ultrapro.com/ - you can see if they ship to the UK?

Do you have an office supply store in the UK? Like Staples, OfficeMax, Office Depot (that we have here in the states)? You can usually find it there. You'll want the D-Ring binder type, like this one I found on Amazon:

I did a search on regular binders on Amazon.co.uk and came up with these:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/PADI-Dive-F...9306685&sr=8-10&keywords=3+ring+binder+zipper

(although the last one with the zipper seems kind of small)

This one is kind of pricey:

You may want to forego the zipper binder and go with a regular 3-ring binder option like this one:

Here's the UltraPro pages (9-pocket):

6-pocket (for extra tall cards/pins):

3-pocket (for extra large):

Thank you so much for all the helpful info and links. I found a store which sell the Ultra Pro sleeves and got a binder today but its no good so I will return that and try a normal 3 ring binder like you suggested

You're welcome, glad you were able to find the pages. Definitely go with the 3-ring D-type binder if you can, those are extra large and you can fit more inside than a regular 3-ring binder. I used to do presentations and those D-type binders can hold so much more paper. Sticking pins inside the UltraPro pages are obviously bigger than pieces of paper.

Belgium is not a 3-ring binder country :lol:

So I got a 4-ring binder which is believe 6,5cm thick, and those exact same sleeves as shown on the picture (3 next to each other, 9 on a page) and I also have other ones that can fit 8 onto 1 page.
And all pins fit just fine into both types, obviously not jumbo's, lol.

Still looking for a binder but believe to have it sorted now
