Im just wondering if anyone has any images of a pin folder and the insides as I would like to see a real picture of the pages etc as Im thinking of wanting one for my PTN pins as they could be placed in order of release.

Ive seen one once from my friend and I cant remember what the pages look like as I vaguely remember the pages having small indented lines (vertical and horizontal) to show where pins can go...is this true??

Anyway hope someone can help me out as I know I normally put the pins on a corkboard but limited room now so Im wanting a folder for my PTN pins.
 
I'll go take some pics. But for now... The older, original pin pages had lines, so you could put one pin per square. Later books, and the replacement pages that are for sale now, have no such lines. I suspect feedback revealed that a lot of people were like me, and tried to squeeze in as many pins per page and the lines kind of got in the way.
 
Alright, History of Pin Albums.

The original album was sold at the Disney Stores to go with the Countdown to the Millennium pin set. The next year, they had the 100 Years of Dreams set and a matching album. Both of these had pages with the indented lines, and each square was numbered. This picture is of the 100 YoD book.

The parks came out with their original pin trading books in 2000. This is from the Disneyland version. The pages have the indents but no numbers

In 2002, the Disney Store came out with the Magical Musical Moments series. To compensate for the musical pins which are much thicker, the pages were made so the felt pieces could slip in and out of the plastic pages. Each felt page is indented and numbered, but the felt doesn't have holes. You need to put them in a plastic page, and if your page breaks, then you are in trouble

This is the current page which is sold in refill packs. No indents, no numbers.

Do the refill packs that are currently on sale fit into a typical 3 ring binder, or do they sell a specific binder for the pages. I have never seen these anywhere at WDW. Mind you, I wasn't looking, but they seem like a great option! Are they found at the major pin stores throughout WDW?

Where can i buy the refill packs? Now that i know that fit in 3 ring binders i want to buy some!
 
They should have them at any of the major pin stores: Pin Traders, Pin Central, Frontierland Trading Post, the Hat. I think World of Disney might have them too. And maybe some of the resort gift shops, I can't remember.
