Displaying/Storing File Cards

fireflyguy · 07-31-2008, 10:55 PM

Forgive me if this has already been addressed, but I was wanting to get ideas on storing and/or displaying the file cards. I had thought at one time about getting a frame and doing a collage type thing, but there are just too many. I have some display cases from hobby lobby that I put some figures in, and I bought some baseball card stands to put a few file cards on, but that takes up a lot of room in the case. I read somewhere here at the Tank where someone said they had a binder of some sort -- that sounds like a pretty good idea but I was wondering what kind of pages you would put them in.

Anyway, thoughts, suggestions, comments?

I can't recall if they sell like those binder pages that store a certain amount of pictures, like 6x4 or smaller or not.

If they're cut out and you want to store them, you could do a file box.

Personally I just keep all of mine in a Index Card File in Order of Year I got them.

Not good for display, but great to find what you want and keep them protected from light and such.

Don't display them. Open and play with them.

I've been meaning to get an index card box or two to put my file cards in like I had for the original ARAH line. It will just take a while to cut them all out. That's one thing I like about the comic packs, the cards are already separate from the rest of the packaging.

Maybe this is a question we could bring up in the Hasbro Q&A?

Something like: Are there any plans of giving Joe fans a way to display file cards, like the binder Star Wars collectors got for the coins?

Just a thought...
