Loving them. I think about 35-40 pages would be the max for the 1.5" albums. I need to find a place that can print me sheets to fill in the covers though, I'm not liking the plain white paper I have in them now.

I'm glad I searched this thread! I just ordered 15 of the binders everyone loves so much. I'm tired of my raw sets sitting in boxes. The scans posted by TBP (provided by another member) earlier in the thread sold me. Thanks!

the "rings" are flimsy (almost look like they are going to rip off the hardened plastic back/fronts), the way you disconnect each ring by popping it off at their intersection is really only meant to last for a few uses (I've been adding and subtracting pages from one binder and the ring connection doesn't hold well after about 5-10 connects/disconnects). I love the clamshell design, love the front thin transparent plastic so you can slide a cover or label there, love the black color.

Holds about forty 9-pocket sheets of standard stock cards (or about 25-30 pages of my thicker relics/autos). I needed two binders for my birthyear 1971 topps set incl. high numbers.

For $1.25, great bargain despite the marginal construction of the rings and how the rings come apart to put in the pages.

BTW, says not to transport it in a certain way (have pages on the rings during transport?) I assume the manufacturer thinks the ring ends could rip away from the covers with too much shock or stress from shipping.

The most I have put in the binders is a 440 card Topps Football set.

While I do agree that the plastic ring design isn't the strongest, I think most of us would be using these as a "permanent home" for whatever is going into them (at least that's what I'm intending to do with them). I bought 10 cases (150 binders), and outside of trying to figure out where to put them until I get all of the pages moved across, I love them!

BTW, has anyone come up with a good cover / spine combo for them? The ones I found through Word's template site were a bit lacking.

Here is a link for the Univenture Binders on slae for $1.25 each.They come 15 to a case.
http://www.univenture.com/shop/15_3_Rin ... rstock.php

FYI. You can still get this deal. I clicked on the link and the same deal is still going. I ordered 2 cases and with shipping it came in just under $60. This is a great deal IMO. Thanks to everyone who mentioned these in this thread. These are exactly what I have been looking for.

Also, if anyone has the label template that has been mentioned on this thread and wouldn't mind sharing it, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

Would you mind sending the Roop template to me, as well? I just received my case of 15 binders a couple weeks ago, and I am currently moving my sets over. The binders are awesome.

Thanks for sending me the label template. Does anybody have a source for the proper labels for this particular template? Based on the photos posted by TBP in page 2, it looks to be a binder spine label approximately 2"x9" or so. I'd appreciate any info on this. Thanks.
