Storing/Displaying Your Ticket Collection

[speedykev]

I have received alot of tickets of late and am wondering what to store/display them in to keep them in mint condition.

How do you store yours?

[Senior82]

I have quite a lot of them, just store them in plastic boxes/tuppaware containers. Keeps them nice and dry

I keep mine in 7x5 photo albumns. I usually buy them from Jessops for £3.50 which holds 120 tickets. It keeps them in good condition and they are great to go through them too.

Iam thinking of framing mine.
Got every away ticket for the last four seasons (seeing as I havent missed a match).
Going to do it season by season.

Do you have an online link for these please?

Mine are in 3 WH Smiths photo albums. They hold loads but they are slightly sticky so only put them in if you are not going to take them out again.

See picture halfway down.

I am now missing 2 tickets stubs since 2000. Bournemouth (2000/01) and Preston (2001/02) away.

Yep - http://www.jessops.com/online....../Show.html

The ones I have are slightly different and look much better - worth popping into your local Jessops to see them. I managed to buy 15 of them for £1.99 in a sale in the New Year.

I had tickets in a photo album , after several years went to take them out and they were ruined . The ink on the back of ticket had transferred onto the card it was on .

I keep most of mine in ticket toploaders that I get from the US.

Obviously ticket collecting is a bit more advanced over there and they have various sized rigid holders for sports tickets.

Hello all,

I keep my match tickets in a small travel case. However, I would like to display them in an album/folder in the future.

Kind regards.

Only problem with framing tickets is you are likely to display them. They will eventually get sun damage and when they are taken out will be faded.

I store my horde of County tickets in twelve leather-bound albums, which show the front & rear of each ticket.

I think they're pretty impressive.

* Tried to upload a couple of pics but they're too large apparently.

What exactly is holding them in place?, is it Secol V strips?.

[MINSTERMAN]

I keep mine in A4 size 20 or 40 leaf display wallets from Wilkos. They cost a couple of quid tops.

I mount the tickets on plain white paper using the tiniest single dab of Wilko pritt stick in the centre of the rear of the ticket. I use the Wilko glue because it's not very strong, but it's enough to hold the ticket in place. If necessary, the ticket can easily be removed or re-arranged with very little (if any) damage but I keep any really prized tickets in their own protective 'mini-sleeve'.

Then, I place a sheet of A4 over the tickets on the backing/mounting sheet, slide both sheets into the plastic wallet/sleeve, and pull the front blank sheet out. Voila, the tickets are in palce with no snagging etc.

Cheap and cheerful, minimal damage to the ticket, look great displayed.

I've also knocked up some spines for the binders, and also insert some A4 card at various intervals in the binder to stiffen 'em up a bit.

Morrisions have also started doing 20 wallet display binders in various colours, with quite hard front and back covers. Great for storing teamsheets I've found.......................sad or what

These are my albums of Newport County tickets, only had six at the time I took these pics (for all the homes), now have 12 displaying the full home & away collection (each one holds approx. 100 tickets) ...

[goonerboy]

Hi GB, I bought them all off this chap on eBay, copy this eBay number in to the search box on there ... 141012332258

I looked around for months before I found the ones I wanted mate.
I wanted something that was bound & impressive, I didn't want the ring-binder & sleeve types you normally see.

So after quite a lot of searching I bought one of these as a 'tester' & was absolutely delighted with it - it was exactly what I'd been after.

They're leather bound, each one with 50 x 2 clear pockets, so you can see both sides of the ticket (each one holds a min 100 tickets mate).
The photos don't really do them justice either - they're far more impressive in the flesh buddy.
