Since i wouldnt class myself as a ticket collector ive never stored my tickets tidily - they have just been put in a box for safe keeping up until now.

Ive decided to try and store them someone properly though now where they can be displayed but im not sure on the best way?

I could store them with the corresponding programme but id prefer to store them separately if possible. I did buy a "drop in" photo album which i was going to put them into. But that poses the problem that once i sort them out, put them in order, then if i get another ticket theres nowhere for it to fit in? Obvioulsy i could use a A5 ring binder but its the most costly of all the options...

What do you use to store your ticket collection in?

Craig.

I only store mine, they are not yet on display, as all collections are incomplete and im updating and amending them daily.

But i store them in individual labeled envelopes in air-tight plastic boxes.

They'd be much easier to store if you cut them up into little pieces and put them into a bucket of glue and water, then you could papier mache them onto a bottle and make a lovely bedside lamp.

Go into any good postcard ot stamp dealer and invest in the folders with plastic wallets that they use for their hobby. They're absolutley ideal. I'll scan something to show you on Wednesday / Thursday.

I only collect tickets from Scotland away games, and they just get put in the same poly pocket as the programme.

I place mine in plastic wallets along with the relevant teamsheet in a ring binder, although I store special tickets (finals/euro etc.) in photo albums, 4 to a page. Thumbs Up

I hope I did not get you too excited as I have only ever had them ship to the US and not to the UK. I assume they will ship internationally but I am not certain. They are fantastic products though.

Could help but notice this at the side on the home page of that website:

TMT FAN OF THE SEASON
The 2008 All-Star Game featured one of baseball's special moments as 49 Hall-of-Fame players took the field during the pre-game ceremony. David Heller of Oceanside, NY, was in Yankee Stadium that night and had his ticket made into a Personalized Mega Ticket. He then set out on a unique and great quest; To have his 2008 All-Star Game Mega Ticket signed by all of the 49 Hall of Famers and he's almost there. To date, David has shagged 46 of them including Ryne Sandberg who is shown inking it above. Plus, Yankees closer Mariano Rivera and managers Joe Girardi and Lou Pinella have also signed making David's Mega Ticket a truly one-of-a-kind item.

Shocked

Great find there, the pocket sheets look ideal. It appears they only ship to USA/Canada though unfortunately.

Here is another option I have found on ebay, they look to be very similar.

I have ordered a set to see what they're like.

Do anyone have the link for the seller of ticket display pockets on EBAY? I clicked on the one a few posts up and it's no longer valid! Any help appreciated.
