Storing big Tim Holtz stamps & other big sets?

[maslex]

So I'm new to Tim Holtz and just received my first stamp set. It came on a nice thick plastic sheet with 3 punched holes to put in a binder. I normally put all of my stamp sets in Avery Elle storage pockets. This set doesn't fit. I saw that he has a binder to store these in, but I'm wondering if any other binder (maybe a bit cheaper) fits these as well?

For really large sets, sometimes I cut the index sheet so the set will fit into a regular size Avery Elle pocket doubled up, or I have large background stamps in larger pockets.

Maybe someone else will have a less expensive Tim sized album idea - I’ve seen them for maybe $17? But having some stamps in bins and some in an album wouldn’t work well for me.

They won't fit in a regular sized binder, the holes don't line up. I checked on a few different sizes I have and they fit into the 7x9. I have 3 of his binders and need a 4th as they only hold about 5-6 stamps set (that's without the die pockets included). What I like about them is they close so I don't have to worry about any stamps getting lost because they came lose from the board. I'll wait until Thanksgiving for the sales. Joann's has them for $17.49 right now. I just did a Google and Pinterest search for alternate ideas and came up with nothing.

Oh wow, didn't realize that they only hold about 5-6 sets. That's a bummer, since I see myself proabably start buying more Maybe I'll check on the bigger storage envelopes/pockets. Thanks though

And do all of his stamp sets come on those plastic sheets with the 3 holes punched in?

I just use a regular hole punch on mine, and punch new holes that will fit in a standard A4 lever arch ring binder. You can realistically get 10-12 sets in one of those.

I like Shaz's idea of just punching new holes! Another idea: get an inexpensive regular binder and put the large stamp sets inside page protectors, which will fit in the binder. You can choose a binder in any width to fit the number of sets you have or hope to acquire, and page protectors are pretty inexpensive!

I use Avery Elle for all of my smaller stamps too. I use these envelopes to store large stamp and die sets.
