Chev Chelios Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 I did not know where else to post this,so here goes. What do you guys put your stat cards in? Do you use the regular 3x4 top loader,like Warmachine or something different? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

River Song Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 I'll answer. I xerox them 50% larger then seal that in plastic. I have bad eyes lol Otherwise just seal in plastic via Kinkos or similiar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nerdelemental Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 I've laminated mine, too. However, at most baseball card shopts they actually carry a thick plastic sleeve that's just the right size for our cards folded out! They're like a buck a piece, though, but slick as hell. Also, how I started: you know the three ring binder sleeves that are 3X3 - there's the same kind of thing for our cards that are 2X2 or four cards per sleeve. I abandoned this method, though, in favor of lamination because I like my cards individual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angus Khan Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Yup, thick, sturdy lamination is the way to go. I got four crews worth of cards laminated and cut out for me for $20 US at Staples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfblade Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 lamination also allows you to mark wounds with a dry erase marker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N0rdicNinja Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 I was curious how people were handling this, good to know. =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawrence Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 I've got a card collectors a4 wallets that have 4 pouches in that are ever so slightly bigger then the cards, but do the job! I've been tempted to get them laminated though so its easier to manage while playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DangerousBeans Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Don't barrate me but I've been cutting the cards into two and putting them in reular sleeves with a bit of tape holding them together to make a nice wee book. Means they fit in my regular binder pages too. With cards that really don't need two pages I'm just using the one half, and with cards that can be made to fit on one page I'm cutting them up and taping them on. It was hard thing to bring myself to do but it works! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paperbag4 Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Ultra-Pro makes 3"x5" Toploaders, which is what I use. All the benefits of dry erase markers, with the need to only buy 6 or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major_Gilbear Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 I scan them and print them out as two cards - each half then fits into a regular pennysleeve. They are slightly larger that way, and I edit the images with new updates/wording/changes so that they're always up to date. It is a bit of work, but I think it is worth it and it keeps the cards manageable during play / crew selection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paperbag4 Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 I scan them and print them out as two cards Do you photoshop pictures of your minis for painting and conversions? I was thinking about doing that for my Gremlins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major_Gilbear Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Do you photoshop pictures of your minis for painting and conversions? I was thinking about doing that for my Gremlins. Yeah, I use a different model for Hans for example, so I just stuck a picture of the actual model on the card in Photoshop instead. It is quicker for me to reference the card this way.

AoM Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 3x5 photo holders. 4 to a page. just like the 9 to a page sheets for WM cards, only for large things. they're a touch large, but I've been using these since Gen Con. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Svenn Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Yup, thick, sturdy lamination is the way to go. I got four crews worth of cards laminated and cut out for me for $20 US at Staples. I just picked up my own lamination machine for about $30. I've laminated all my stat cards and will be laminating the Errata and several reference sheets very shortly.

nightgaunt98c Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 I used 81/2x11" laminating sheets from wal-mart. My whole crew fits in one. Then dry erase markers for wounds and other notes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
