Binder slip cases that don’t cost more than the cards they hold
 
Ok, that title is a bit of an exaggeration but does anyone know of any slip cases that would fit 3-inch Ultra Pro binders averaging about 75 pages that don’t cost $50 or more a piece?

I have about 40 binders and would really like slip cases for them but can’t afford the price points ive seen thus far.

Wondering if anyone knows of anything I may have missed.

Thanks in advance.

I know I have been looking for two of them for sets I have been working on for over 10 years. I hope that helps.

I don't think you're exaggerating too much at all, unfortunately. I think reasonably affordable, quality binders with slipcases are the true white whale of the hobby.

I searched for years, finally gave up and bought the Lighthouse binders that come with slipcases. They're... okay.

I had around 17 or so that I won just to get a 1986 Fleer basketball one that I wanted. I sold the others off in prices ranging from $170-$250 EACH!! I am down to my last 4. I may put them on Ebay at $9.99 each and let the market decide. Like I said, I would pay what I sold mine for just to get the two that I have been wanting. It's a shame that they do cost that much, but they are really nice, and unfortunately, they went out of business.

Hey Bobby, are you referring to MJ Roop binders? I agree with all your points if so.

The ones I picked up are Lighthouse (https://www.lighthouse.us/collect-st...and-slipcases/). They're cheaper on Ebay. Downside is they're vinyl.

Chris, a few options you may want to look into:
- http://www.slipcasebooks.com/index.htm (they also have an Etsy store: https://www.etsy.com/shop/SlipcaseBo...g_id=650437207)

Yes. Those were fantastic. For those that don't know, they just don't know. It was a shame they went out of business. I still keep my eyes peeled......but thank god I'm not holding my breath.
