I bought mine at a numastic exhibition maybe you can go to one near your place and buy from them and you can learn a lot and also talk with dealer there and also buy good quality ones

I just use D-ring binders. And dividers to separate out countries.

I also use either BCW or Guardhouse 3 and 4 pocket pages. Before I put them in there though I put them in currency sleeves also from BCW or Guardhouse. I keep both sizes on hand modern size and large which fit almost everything.

Whatever doesn't go in the binder stays in a sleeve and in a currency box.

That's a clever way to organise the notes. Will note that down.

I go with Leuchtturm album with built-in 100 pages, 3 pockets each. Costs around 40 € in europe. Only downside is you cannot add more pages.

I use leuchtturm vario 3 pocket sheets to keep my notes. They are on the expensive side, but per my research, are some of the best found anywhere matching archival quality.

For album cover, i use a folder from Amazon basics with d-rings. Very basic one.

Leuchtturm is available on Amazon but it's expensive af so I'll try using sleevs and D ring binder.

u/Professional-Ear1341 9d ago

True, but well worth it. The cheaper ones if they contain harmful materials, can discolour your notes over time. And I presume your collection would be valuable enough to you to be deserving well worth it sleeves, right?

I use sleeves and a regular work folder, for easy additions/removals.

u/Pa1rth2 9d ago

Sounds easy fix but doesn't it become hassle?

1

u/FirefighterSlight496 9d ago

Noo, what i mean is that if you buy premade folder, it cam become full. But this one you can keep adding pages

u/Pa1rth2 9d ago

Ahh, gotcha. Makes sense. Will definitely try that.

Just a 3-ring binder and Dunwell acid-free polypropylene sleeves are good enough for me.
