Yeah I have a ton of loose hucards and I just put them in a 3 ring binder with card sleeves. My wife made me a cool cover for the case (upload pics later) and it stores them nicely next to my other complete games. The only thing is I need to get better sleeves, maybe side loading ones because if im not careful the hucards in the top sleeves will slide out of the binder.

I'd like to see a photo of your binder. I'll post pics of mine later tonight or tomorrow.

I use a 3-ring binder to store my Hus as well.  I use a little bit of scotch tape on the top row to keep them from sliding out. :)

I like this idea. I've avoided loose HuCards so far simply because I couldn't think of a nice safe way to store them and didn't want them simply loose in a box. Maybe I'll give this a try. :P

That's crazy.  I've never seen sleeves like that.  I picked mine up at Target earlier this year.  I think it was something like $5 for 10 sheets, which is probably more than I'll ever need.  I have noticed that one or two of the sleeves that get a lot of use (Blazing Lazers, for example) are starting to tear in the top corner from me removing the card over and over.  It hasn't become an issue yet, and I have a bunch of spare pages, so I'm not too worried about it.

I use a Vaultz Media Binder with a zippered lock. It has handles for easy carrying. It is thick enough to stand on its own.


Here it is open. It has a mesh pocket where I keep my Kisado region adapter.

Ok Here's mine:



I think it looks really good, but because I'm particular about things, I'm going to reprint the inserts on high quality paper and cut the front and back to the shape of the HuCard

EDIT: The covers we made are available for download below:

I use a business card holder to store them. It works perfectly.

I stuck a really short video on youtube showing it.

Where do you get the plastic pages to put the cards in? I went looking for one the other day and could not find one. 20 years ago you could buy them at any department store for baseball cards and whatnot, but they are not as easy to find now.

I got mine not long ago at a Target store.  I bet most office supply stores (office max, office depot, staples, etc), or even Walmart would also carry them.
