Does anybody know of any binders that are big enough to hold a regulation size card in its spine label, and if so, a link to purchase them?

Ultra-Pro makes several 3" D Ring binders....

Some say Baseball, Football or Collectors....

There are a number on e-bay.....
If that isn't somewhere you buy....
It at least gives an idea what you are looking for....

I have 5 or 6 that came with a Bundle I purchased and aren't going to use...
Will let them go a lot less expensive than new ones....

Office max, Walmart, target, sometimes Walgreens and CVS during school supply season Office Depot 

I buy the $2 DG/Office 1.5 view albums at Dollar General and put a whole 9 card page in the front and back.I then trim off the top edge and the page eyelets, placing it in the center making it look like it came with the album. It has a professional look. I can change the cards anytime I want. You have to remember some cards slide out of the top 3 pockets if turned a certain way.

These should fit a card in the spine pocket:

You may be able to find a slighly smaller binder that can as well, but you would need to take a card and gauge the width of the pocket in person.  A 2-1/2" binder may or may not fit one, depending on how the manufaturuer is measuring the 'width' of the binder.  Office supply stores like Office Max, Staples, etc,, would have the best selection of binders to look at.

I have been looking at notebooks also. Most places seem to have a "Durable" and a "Heavy Duty" notebook. Variety of colors, usually sizes every half inch from 1" to 5". The measurement being the width of the spine. Cost start around $4.50 for the 1" and go up. 

I pay $0.50 max at goodwill or other second hand shops. 

I got 6 of mine free at a yard sale.  I forgot that one. 

When I actually buy binders, I get Avery 3" D-ring Heavy Duty binders. They are about $10 each regular price at Target, but go on sale occasionally. They are extremely durable and worth the extra money. They will hold a regular card in the spine. Even better though, Avery products have a digital program and app so that you can design your own covers for the front, back and spine. I put scans of multiple cards into the spine template and just print that to label my binders.

Which binders are big enough to hold 9 pocket pages without the corners exposed?

Anyone use binder sleeves that keep the binder shut and hold space on the shelf and keep the binders from falling over?
