If you do use blanks, do you organize the cards any differently in the page? i.e., one card in the center, four cards in the corners, etc. This issue has really kept me from displaying and enjoying smaller team sets in particular.

When I used binders if I had a page that would be less than 9 cards I'd leave the blank spaces next to the rings. After that or if it was only one space I'd leave the lower outside corner empty.

Then I went to storing them flat, then started moving them out of binders entirely.

I never thought about the possible problems of leaving empty spaces in pages. I collect sets and leave paces where the cards should be numerically, if I don't have it. But, I don't move my sets to pages until I have at least 50% of the set complete. I hate empty spaces.

I also collect RAMS cards and keep them in seperate binders. I just use card sized pieces of paper, with the RAMS logo printed on them, as place holders to use within the set proper.

The cut up backer boards is a good idea and I just might have to try that as well, for page stability.
