    What to do with Index Cards?

    I have ton of autographed index cards sitting around. I actually was very lazy for 4 years in a row of NFL Combines autographing and ended up with almost one thousand autographed index cards that are just sitting around. I also have a number of index cards that have answered questions that I had sent along with autograph requests to baseball players from the 50's and 60's.
    -What do you folks do with autographed index cards?
    -Have you found a descent way to dispay them?
    -Is there binder pages out there for them?
    Right now I actually have the ones that were in bindings still bound and the loose ones in an index card box. I have some nice ones like Carson Palmer, Tony Romo, Chad Johnson, Don Mattingly, Joe Morgan and many more that never get displayed. :( Give some advice please!

    I just bought a bunch of cheap top loaders for mine. I might cut some of the bigger ones that I have someday and mat/frame them with a picture of that athlete. Other than that, I keep all of them in a tupperware tote in alphabetical order.

    Outside of hiding them away in a container or spending some descent green to get them matted and framed with a photo are there any other ideas for index cards?

    I do a couple different things with mine. Small photo albums work well to keep them all in one place and it makes them easy to display. That's what I do with most of mine that aren't "big names". I like the way they look. You can get them anywhere for as little as a few dollars.

    With some of my bigger names, I have several 6x9 toploaders that can hold 1 or 2 index cards in each. These are availible for no more than a dollar each.

    Both ways are easy to display and easy on the budget. Hope that helps!

    Index cards display easily in 4 pocket pages that you should be able to get at your local baseball card store or online. This way you can display them in a binder. Ultra Pro makes them, they go 4 for $1 and I usually put 8 in the pages (1 front / 1 back).

    I've matted and framed some of mine, put some in a drawer (just found them Friday night, forgot they were in there). Most are in the smaller photo albums, the ones that hold 3 4x6 photos that have a label between the photos so I can put who signed the card. I am thinking of getting toploaders for them all and just store them that way.

    Greetings, I am a BCW authorized dealer and I use the following BCW holders for my index cards.

    Sleeves
    2mil
    4 3/8 X 6
    3 11/16 X 5 3/4

    4 pocket pages
    3 1/2 x 5 1/4 - 4 pockets

    and for the better cards I use the post card toploaders
    5.875 X 3.75

    If interested in getting pricing just let me know, I sell for just slightly over my cost. I usually place my order once a week but it would depend how soon you would need the items. My shipping is a flat $3.00 for any size order.

    Also go to bcwsupplies.com to find more and just email me with the item # and I can get you my wholesale prices.

    Thanks
    Joe Sr.
