Help needed with polyester pockets

[Chris1963]

As Eamonn Fitzmaurice no longer appears to be trading, does anyone know where I can buy acid-free polyester pockets (preferably A5) to store my programmes?

Thanks, I wasn't aware of the forum's existence at the time. Very sad news. I've just been through my old cheque books and it has become apparent that my last order to him for polyester pockets was on 28/03/2020 which of course was when football had to stop and so like everyone else, I had a lot of spare time and money to spend. Anyway, if anyone knows of anywhere else I can buy polyester pockets, I'm sure I'm not the only one who would find such information very useful.

Many thanks. I've had a look at the website and having clicked on 'standard pockets' (I'm assuming these were the types Eamonn sold, as opposed to the 'HC archival pockets') I think item P1A5Y50 may be the best for A5 non-league programmes, and P1A4Y50 for A4 programmes and teamsheets. Would you agree? What about the B5 size programmes (although fewer clubs are producing them these days) as I'm not sure what code applies to these?

I'm assuming 50 micron is the same thickness as Eamonn used for his (he didn't mention microns in his price lists) but again I'd be grateful for any advice you can give me. The prices seem reasonable, perhaps roughly the same as Eamonn offered.

I ran into the same issue with Eamonn Fitzmaurice. I found some great A5 acid-free polyester pockets on Amazon. They have a pretty good variety and the quality is solid. You might also try office supply stores like Staples or craft stores—they often have these kinds of things, too.
