So how does everyone store or display their filecards? Looking for some ideas....

Rubbermaid index card holders.  They cost about $3 at business supply stores.

They're what I use!

I used to use a diskette box, but the index card ones are PERFECT for the filecards.

Thats a great idea about the card index boxes.  Im going to have to try that, right now all my cards are stuffed into an empty 25th anniversary vehicle box.

I'm a little more old fashioned and prefer not to touch my filecards (being the Mint freak that I am :lol:), so I keep mine in photo albums.  It's nice and easy for me as well, considering I collect both Canadian and U.S, take a look;

I also use those hard plastic holders for the more valuable cards;

I also have to hit a Staples too... But what do you do with the ID cards from the RoC line?

Garbage. hehe!  ;D
No, seriously my RoC items are all MOC.
btw I think the RoC FC's are easily the baddest cards ever made by Hasbro!

I put them in the box, too, behind the filecards.

POC filecards confirmed for fitting in the Rubbermaid index card holders.  Also, POC now in stock at the Dix-30 Walmart in Brossard, South Shore of Montreal. ;D
