Dave, once I got back into STRAT-O-MATIC Baseball, I went through all of my old Strat cards which were stored in their original rubber bands and within full size STRAT boxes. I found I had to perform "surgery" on may of these teams to extract the old rubber bands, some of which removed a very light surface of the cards. Since then, no rubber bands and I store all teams in the CLEAR plastic bags 4x6" and then I also place the teams I am placing most with the thin mylar like inserts for ultimate protection. I store all seasons in those inexpensive and clear plastic shoe boxes which can fit all cards, the rosters and ballpark and weather effects cards plus a baseball annual like ATHALON's that I usually purchase for each season.
I actually came up with my own system for creating envelopes for non APBA games. I was not satisfied with the sizes that are out there. I think those #6s or #7s are way to big, and the #5s are too small, so I use #7s and cut them down, make new flaps and print out the team info from a template I made in GIMP.
Thanks Dave. Very cool. Been using the #6 Coin Envelopes for Strat for years. Love the APBA Envelopes. Take Care and Roll On Friend.
Thanks Jerry!

That's cool retro man!
I've been using ziplock bags for years
Keep rollin Dave, any videos on APBA Hockey coming out?
Thanks Pedro, I am actually working on it right now. Should have it ready in the next few weeks.

I have done that with missing APBA envelopes as well.
