My Last Spending Spree of 2014 .. Booklet cases

My Last Spending Spree of 2014 .. Booklet cases
I bought a few last boxes (see them on the other box break forum) and while at it, picked up some booklet cases ... $8 and shipped free with the order, so a bargain from blowout, if you ask me.
Anyway picked up 4 (2 x 185mm and 2 x 187mm) of them, but need one more thicker one. My five star Ethier/Kemp doesn't fit in these. Is there a 190mm or larger out there?

I guess if I saved used tinfoil and used tea bags instead of old comic books and old baseball cards, the difference between a crazed hoarder and a savvy collector is in that inherent value.

The Marlins one made me laugh, as I hadn't seen the "Fish Sticks" booklet before.

I'm looking for one that holds a thicker booklet as well. If you find any, would you let me know? I have several books that need one. Also need a case that will hold the tri-fold booklets.

That's what made me buy it! Sometimes Triple Threads has a great sense of humor.
My favorite is Evan Longoria "Not Eva" HA!

You'll be the first to know. The 187mm is just about 3-4mm too shallow for the Five Star booklet that I have. The 185mm was too short for my Beckham/Coghlan card ... The 187mm seemed a little tight, but the card just made it, w/o damage (I hope) ... But I don't think I can ever remove it.
Never saw a trifold case .... Yet.

You'd think when card companies manufacture these cards they would put a little thought into it or start producing a line of card protection fitted for their cards.

Thanks, Richard!
No problem, that's how I learned about all the other cases, by process of elimination. I'll just keep buying different sizes until I get it right. Then when someone else is ready, I can share the knowledge. Blowout only offered the 2 sizes. I'll start checking other resources and companies.

That's what I liked about the 2012 Tribute cards. They came encased and I didn't have to find different cases to fit. Dynasty has the right idea, pseudo-Tribute. Smile but they're using a magnet case vs. a 'snap' case
I'll keep my eyes open for anything that fits that kinda card. Can you post a pic of it again, I'm not remembering how its situated.

Remember Those GQ (or was it A&G?!) booklets that had the little "pop up" near the top ... That will be impossible to find something for those. I picked up some screwdown cases ($0.73 per case) and some that are made for A&G mini cards.
The One Touch are nice & easy to use, but the screwdown cases are so much cheaper, it's worth the extra 17 seconds to unscrew one screw to save 50% ... I'm starting to sound like a commercial. Smile
