Southern Islands Postcard Storage?

Hi, little bit of a niche question here. Today I picked up a sealed package of the 6 English Southern Islands postcards off eBay that have the full artwork the cards are based on. Thought they would be a neat addition to the Southern Islands section of my binder, being able to see the full art piece displayed on the cards.

Any suggestions for how I might store these for longevity? I’m worried about creasing and edge wear over time. Basically they’re going to be sitting loose between 2 binder pages. Odd dimensions so I’m not expecting there to be any sort of sleeve available.

I’ve thought about taking them to get laminated. That might compromise the value or damage them though? (not that I have any intentions of selling, my collection is for me and my future kids)

Any suggestions are appreciated!

You can never go back if you laminate it. You can search up jumbo card sleeves or photo sleeves on ebay or amazon to find some that will fit the postcards. There are also jumbo top loaders if you search for them on the same sites.

Edit: You could also keep them in the 25th Anniversary Jumbo Binder.

I keep all of my postcards and other Pokemon paper ephemera in extra-large top-loaders.

+1 on the extra large toploaders, Ultra Pro has a good selection in their website.

Thanks all. I’ll search for the top loaders and photo sleeves and see if the dimensions are right (or close enough).

:blush:

I bought these in 4 x 6

They fit most of the different sizes of Pokemon postcards… Hope that helps!

Edit: actually the southern island ones poke out just a bit but they are still within the page so doesn’t get damaged. Will upload a pic when i get a chance.

Edit:

I have mine in resealable art sleeves. Though the 25th Ann. Jumbo Binder is not a bad idea either if it fits it and it’s only $10.
