True... but the $30 is spent on things you will use. The $7 shipping would be just an extra fee!

Sign up for emails at UltraPro. Right now they have buy one get one 50% off and free shipping over $50. They are always sending out promos.

If it's a lot of cards, sure, fold the page up. If it's less than 9 cards, cutting a page up and sending a three slot makes sense as the other part of the page can be used for other trades. I don't know why one would throw those out... it's wasteful.

have any of you heard of a site called BCW sport card Collectables.  They sell a box of their own 9 page for less than Wally world when not on sale.  Plus you can get boxes from them too.  Only draw back is that you have to have an order over $100 to get free postage but not hard to get if you order 5 boxes of 100 pages.

I use BCW for their 2" binders and other storage but because every BCW page I had from the 90s deterioated into gooeyness I avoid them for any pages except for specialty pages I can't find from Ultra Pro.  30 year old bias but my Ultra Pros from the same era held up perfectly.

A few months ago, I got the 9-card pages at Target (they were sealed in plastic; 30 pages in a pack) and the first thing I noticed when I pulled the first sheet out was that it was flimsier than I remembered them. Years ago, when I used to get them from my local trading card shop at the mall (100 sheets in a box), the pages were stiffer. Has Ultra Pro decided to turn down the quality of their pages or are the pages I bought at Target just different from the ones I bought from my card store?

Target sold two page brands, Ultrapro and a nameless one. It was probably the nameless one you bought, as I have mainly used that one for trades and Ultrapro for binders.

Ultra Pro does also have different quality of sheets.  Silver sheets are much thinner than Platinum.

I used to use BCW pages but the pockets aren't as deep and the cards barely fit from top to bottom. I started using Ultra Pro Platinum, well worth the extra couple bucks.

Thanks for the tip and the link!
