Hey hey it's great to see this thread doing so well... I counted my pcs that I have recieved... and WOW I was so amazed at how they have added up ... I have in my collection 70 and my first card was recieved on June 6, 05.
I have currently in my to swap app 500 pcs.
To answer the question on how I keep them I use a photo album 5x7 (I think that is what it is) I get 2 pcs per page and I think it holds 200 . It has a place beside each picture to add writing. So as my pcs come in I write who it's from, FC user name, State where the pc is from and last but not least I add the date my pcs were recieved. It is a great way to keep up with them. And for the larger of the pcs that will not fit there I have a manilla folder in the back of my pc book and I put the info in the slot where they r suppose to go and the info so I know where and when the pc in the folder suppose to be. I love pc trading. Thanks FC for a great place to swap PCS

Yesterday I went to Walmart and found a photo album which holds 2 4x6 photos per page..it is photo safe, pvc free and acid free. It holds 240 pcs and has a divider with a sheet for writing on..2 to a page but they have divider sheets in them so you can use both sides of the pockets..also bought a pkg of 10 refill sheets in case they are not available when I need them..(optimist)...
they were over budget (4.96 and 2.26) but they are nice and will last forever.
I never heard of AC Moores..must be a nothern store..don't remember seeing one in NJ either though...and Maryann that was an alligator (unless I am misinformed the alligators have the short rounded snouts and the crockadiles have the long pointed ones)..Knowing me I might have them backwards..

Anyway thanks friends for the album input..I would have waited for the suggestions but since I was there I just went ahead and got these..Actually I wish they had bigger slots...oh well...maybe some day I will get another one and use this one for photos...

Margaret, we have AC Moore here in NJ. They are a craft store like Michael's.

I have a lot of my postcards on my basement walls, surrounding maps of the USA and the world. Instead of tacking through the cards, I used push pins along the bottom and edges so each card is held in by a push pin above, below and on the sides. Kind of hard to explain. We have dark brown paneling in the basement (computer room) and this really brightens it up, plus the kids like looking at the pictures!
