Finally found a way to store my cards

Posted on 2008 under Annoucements |

I’ve been wondering for a very long time now how to store my cards properly so that they don’t get spoilt. Actually, I had many ideas including getting a special folders for postcards but they were too expensive and with the growing number of postcards I have, this was not a good long term solution.

Then my other idea was just to put them in photo albums but that too wasn’t something I was totally happy with because I couldn’t see the back, only the front. Finally, I decided that for time being, I will still keep them in my shoe box but I’ve arranged them according to alphabets.

That way I can still pull them out to look at them when I want too and at the same time, keeping them is a lot easier too. This will be my method until I come up with something else. :) If you have any other ideas or some sort of management method that works for you, please share it with me! I’m all ears. :)

    ive been keeping them in shoe-boxes ever since ive actually started storing them and im desperately trying to get away from it coz even though i had arranged them alphabetically and by continent as well…i still dont feel satisfied with it all, coz all the cards that end up at the bottom somehow get lost….on the other hand, i would like to get one of those albums for storing postcards, but i think that would be rather expensive having in mind i would need loooads of albums in order to keep all the cards….though i would like that best coz i can look at the card both from the front and the back…i guess they just need to invent something both really practical and cheap at the same time….for the huge postcard collectors :)

    hey, in case you’d like a card from Macedonia for your collection, just let me know….

    regards
