Large items up to 8-1/2” x 11” such as game rosters, lineup cards and score cards can be stored in Pro 1-Pocket Document Pages. Tri-fold schedules that are unfolded can fit in either Pro 2-Pocket Photo Pages or Pro 3-Pocket Currency Pages. These pages are also perfect for items like all-star voting ballots. Pro 2-Pocket Envelope Pages have two pockets measuring 4-1/8″ x 9-1/2″ and can hold most quad-fold schedules. Unfortunately, there is no standard size for schedules, so you may need to use a combination of Pro 4-Pocket, Pro 6-Pocket, Pro 8-Pocket Pages and Pro 9-Pocket Pages for your collection.īut what if you have schedules that have not been folded? It would be a shame to crease such pristine items, just to make them fit into a pocket. Schedules are usually are a bit larger than trading cards, so Pro 8-Pocket Pages – designed to hold slightly-larger vintage sports cards – usually do the trick. And while ticket stubs are becoming a thing of the past, teams still print pocket schedules. What is true for trading cards is also true for pocket schedules the older it is, the more valuable it can be, especially if it is in great condition. Fortunately, you can buy any of these pages in packs of 20 and don’t need to “commit” to a box of 100.įinally, items like movie tickets or slightly smaller “torn” ticket stubs with the counterfoil removed will fit into Pro 9-Pocket Pages, though admittedly, they are easier to read or peruse when stored horizontally in Pro 8-Pocket Pages. These larger tickets – as well as older tickets that are still intact – won’t fit into 6-Pocket Pages for those, use BCW’s Pro 4-Pocket Currency Pages, which horizontally hold items up to 2-5/8” by 6-1/8”.įor larger, special event or commemorative tickets, you will probably need to use Pro 4-Pocket Photo Pages, which measure 3-1/2” by 5-1/4”. The more colorful team-issued tickets usually have a vertical design and fit nicely into Pro 6 Pocket Pages, which can hold stubs up to 2-1/2″ x 5-1/2″.īy the early 2000s, most tickets had bar codes printed on them and were scanned instead of torn. Since these tickets were usually printed horizontally, they look great when stored in 8-Pocket Pages. The pockets in Pro 8-Pocket Pages measure 2-5/8″ x 4″ and are perfect for oldschool “Ticketmaster-type” tickets that have the counterfoil – that is, the part that the venue tears off and keeps – removed along the perforation. Pages for non-standard-sized cards tend to work best for ticket stubs. That hasn’t made vintage ticket stubs any less collectible, though, so it pays to take care of them and put them into pages and three-ring albums. Unfortunately, most teams and concert venues no longer issue physical tickets, so unless you keep your “print at home” ticket, you won’t have that memento that reminds you of who you saw and when. BCW makes many different sizes of pocket pages that will fit almost any “non-card” collectible you may have. After a while, all of that started to add up, so I had to get it organized. I even saved concert ticket and movie ticket stubs. Over the years, I have also saved pocket schedules, rosters, lineup cards, score cards and any other piece of game or team-related memorabilia I could find. Regardless, it was cool to just go and then have that small, visual reminder that I could look back at. Sometimes the games were important – all-star or playoff games – and sometimes it was just a Tuesday night regular season game. Each time I went to a game, I was sure to bring my stub to school the next day to show off to my friends and prove that I was there. I loved saving the ticket stubs from the Chicago Blackhawks hockey games I went to when I was a kid.
