Badge Storage advice

[TSavage]

Afternoon All,

I have around 300 badges in my collection mostly kept on cork boards - however the wife constantly moans about them taking up space etc

Any advice on best way to store badges compactly?

I’ve tried the plastic sheets used for coin collecting but they don’t always fit/sit nicely

Thanks

Tristan

Hi Tristan

Sell your wife, keep the badges

When we produced badges occasionally, I used these:

However, when the match badges started to materialise - 105 or so in one season - I switched to these, the only downside is there was no plastic cover included with them.

I've got a coin display case for sale as shown below, nothing wrong with it all other than maybe light scratches, measures 38cm long, 26cm wide and 4cm deep.

£15 ono plus postage

If you're local to Oldbury Junc 2 m5 then its available to collect otherwise postage by courier at cost

These storage cases are superb faux leather cardboard with a glass top, they are made in the states. the fifty compartment cases take up to 25mm diameter badges. They also come with a deep felt with slits designed to take buttons but I find these ideal for smaller badges with butterfly attachments. I have about 20 cases which are strong enough to be stacked on one another

The only downside is that the guy has been out of stock for sometime now!!

These coin collector albums are great and readily available on ebay.
They come with 10 sheets and the option to add more. Were you collecting coins you could likely get away with a few more but as we have pins to contend with i would suggest 9 sheets per album is most you want.

For my larger badges i use a Hard Rock badge bag insert. If you can make out on this theres a clip at top of bottom to connect to a Hard Rock bag, which i don't have, they're quite expensive and not relevant.
Very high quality.
These inserts are however not so easy to come by

Not as professional as Wolfie's storage which is impressive, but here is my offering.
I'm not really a badge collector, but had a fair few and I considered all sorts of ideas ranging from folders to shirts and scarves before I decided to start filling up an old Subbuteo pitch.
Since I took these photos, I have added around the same again to the pitch and still have loads of room left.
