Pin storage tips?

Hayyyyy everyone!

So I'm coming up to a year of pin trading next month and my collection has superseded my qork board and need another means of storage, I am obviously aware of the pin bags sold online and in the parks, but is that the best option for a growing collection?
Also, do you guys have a separate bag for traders?

Hope all my questions get answered!

I do a bag for my collection and a binder for my traders.

I have mine on a royal blue canvas - we hemmed it and put it on a curtain rod - you can see pic of it in the showroom under my ID. The canvas is pretty cheap and you can sew it into several different shapes to fit your collection.

I keep my pins on 2 corkboards. My Snow White (main) collection has its own board and the rest of my pins are on another board with my Pocahontas (sub collection) in the middle.

Unfortunately mine are all laid out on my dresser and nightstand right now. LOL! However, I bought some pin pages from DL last week and some 5" binders that I will put my collection in. I hope to start tomorrow. As for my traders, I have (4) 4" zippered binders that I got on amazon along with some various sized plastic card pages.

I have 5 black framed corkboards going down our hallway. They have my various collections on them, so they're not all full. Friends like to come over and see my boards and what new pins I've put on them. I also made small corkboards with license plate frames for my Cars Land and DCA pins.

I keep mine individually wrapped inboxes just now, I have one box for traders, the other 2 are my collection

Thanks for the tips guys
Can anyone link me to these bags on Amazon?

I currently have 16 large cork boards, 4 smaller cork boards, 1 pin cabinet with 12 drawers full (though only 2 drawers are technically mine) and 4 books to hold the smaller less important collections/non-collections..

I couldn't put all my pins in books- I love to have them out to be seen (makes the cost per 'look'/justification scale lower) if I could find a way to add more cork boards to my room I would-

If you are looking for pin books via the 'bay or other wise- try to find the older versions that were not the stretchy crap that is horrible to work with and doesnt hold pins well... If they ever release the book I bought in 2002/2003 on disney shopping I'd buy 10 of them without blinking.. Its the perfect combination of pages that hold the pins well and good dividers etc

If you are talking about the binders that had the padded covers on them, I'm with you and would be buying several in a heartbeat. I wish Disney would still sell those as I'm still kicking myself for not buying more when they were out.
