Need some assistence - pin bags or pin books

[Giantfan]

Hello folks, I'm looking for to attending my first trading event. The problem I face is how to transport my pins. I don't currently have a standard Disney pin bag right now. What could I use as a substitute? More importantly, where (in NJ) would I be able to find such a bag/book, with appropriate folders. Thanks in advance for everyone's assistance with this. Giantfan :wavey:

Check the sales threads...on here...or some people use binders with trading card sheets in them. ..

When are you going?

We use zippered binders for all our traders. We usually use the baseball card sheets although we have some of the black sheets that Disney sells for pins that won't fit in the card sheets. I just feel that the black pages are stiff and harder on the pin posts. Wal Mart has zippered binders called Tech Gear that are good because they are a little smaller than the trapper Keeper type.

You could get a regular zippered binder, and then if you head to Office Depot or Staples or anyplace like that, they sell plastic sleeves in all sorts of sizes, from business cards to trading cards to 5x7! I see no reason you couldn't cover even some nice stiff divider tabs with some felt or fabric too, if you prefer that to slipping them into pockets. Just keep a buffer page of some sort between each page of pins to protect them. I actually don't like my "official" book at all. the foam pages are ridiculously difficult to work with. I think I'd rather have the thinner fabric pages I've seen in other books.
