Card holder for small cards

By VanorDM, in X-Wing

Haven't seen this before so I thought I'd share. I was looking for something to hold all the EPS, upgrades, droids, secondary weapons, ect... cards and found this on Amazon.

http://www.amazon.com/20-Twenty-Pages-20-Pocket-Tobacco/dp/B003A7JO20/ref=sr_1_24?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1377093227&sr=1-24

It will hold 20 of the small cards per sheet it's $5.80 for 20 sheets, more then enough to hold everything I have. I double checked and the small cards are 1 5/8 by 2 1/2 inhces, so these pockets are a 1/8in too long.

These are sweet, just ordered me some :-)

Found out on another board that these may not work.

It depends on I guess on how accurate the dimentions listed on Amazon are. I measured my cards last night and they were 1 5/8 x 2 1/2 in. The page on Amazon lists the pockets as 1 5/8 x 2 5/8. So the cards should fit... But it would be tight, so given the fact that the pockets might varry in size a bit, it's possible that you could get sheets that don't quite work.

Then again it's possible that what the other person bought isn't exactly the same thing as what I saw and these will work just fine.

I just wanted to warn people before they go and order a bunch of them. I'll post here once I get the sheets and know if they work or not.

They should be fine :-) If not, hey ho, it's a few bucks....

Let us know how it works when it shows up. I have been looking for something like this for a while.

I use these for my cards and they work fine.

I sleeve all of my cards in individual protectors and the little ones won't fit in those sheets while sleeved.

Oh DUDE! I need to get some of these. I hate the fact that those mini cards have no holder at all. I picked up a habit of having to have everything in a sleeve from a friend. Darn him!

Let us know if this works! If so, I think I'll finally be content with my organization for this game! I finally put my pilot cards into pages of card sleeves tonight.

What I got didn't work, it was too small. But mostly that was due to the fact that Amazon did not have the correct info posted on that page.

The pockets are 1 9/16in not 1 5/8in, they're a 16th more narrow then what Amazon said they were. :(

so what is the verdict? do "some" of them work? if so which ones? they also make a 2.5"x2.5" card page that would work but would waste more space... currently i am using business card holders, they work "Ok" but waste space and they have sideways slide outs, so they tend to SLIDE OUT when flipping pages... I put a small piece of tamia masking tape on each slot to stop that, but would be better if it had vertical slots..

Ugh, wish I had seen this thread over the weekend. I just ordered 2 sets of these card holders. Are they completely useless?

I used Sleeves from Mayday, but sometimes doesn't has the same size,so I deciced to change the sleeves from FFG, they has the best quality in their products, greettings.

glass Jaw when they come in let me know if they work...THX

Kaxel FFG makes card pages????

i sleeve mine and put them in a costom holder as pictured in another thread.

I bought these since the dimensions seemed to work but in the end it didn't work. Too narrow so you can't place 'em in. It might simply be that the face of the pocket itself, as it opens to accept the card, pinches *just* enough to make it too small. Perhaps the random sheet may work since it literally is a question of a single mm. But mine in no way worked. A waste. Plus, they come wrapped in plastic so the only way to test it is to open them and thusbe unable to return them in new condition. Sigh.

Hmm, looks like my Amazon order can still be cancelled. Sounds like I should go ahead and do that...bummer. :mellow:

I spoke too soon - tried to cancel but too late. Looks like they'll arrive over the next few days. I'll post when I get them. *fingers crossed*

Didn't work for me :( , Shall order bigger ones.

The 2.5"x2.5" holders that i mentioned earlier do work good, i just got mine in today... They work much much better than the business card holders that i was using...

Good to know. I still haven't received the smaller holders yet so if those don't work, I might think about trying these.

Since they are wider than the cards, do the cards slide around? How many cards do you put into each slot? Are you using primarily as a card holder or can you organize and read all the cards as well?

Can you guys that found the smaller holders post up some links to the exact ones? Using regular slotted sleeves is starting to suck because they keep sliding out. Thanks.

links for the 2,5 x 2.5" ones are previously posted.. The cards will fit in them vertically or horizontally.. each individual slot will hold about 9 cards each.. so I organized my cards by type. The cards don't slide out, unless you were to carry your binder upside down then jump up and down for like 5 minutes.... The whole binder arrangement makes finding the correct card soooo much easier... The Damage cards I store in a different location, with my ships...BTW I use a zippered binder for added security... If storing the cards vertically there is more potential for them to slide out, but they are still pretty snug.. However that said I put mine in horizontally...

Got mine today. Bottom line: too small...but just barely.

If the card slots were literally a millimeter wider, they would be perfect. But they are just narrow enough to cause the card to bend or require significant force to get them into the slot. A card might fit some of the slots fairly well but not enough to make them usable, at least not without trimming the cards. And I'm certainly not about to start doing that.

To ebay they go.

I use Monster Protectors for my large and small cards.
