I bought the first 9 pocket pages I saw in 1974, there was a small binder with the team logos on it too. Really poor pages, almost no extra room, and while it was sideload two of the columns loaded right next to each other so the cards could slide out and get creased on the other card.
First screwdown I saw was a sample the local shop got. Very nice, plastic screws and an insert so the card didn't get clamped in the holder. Almost like a slab, but with screws.
The next were folded over lexan. Pinched the cards on one end, but they were pretty secure. There was a batch of fairly nice commercially made ones than later someone I think local to Boston did a lot of homemade ones that weren't all that nice.
One of the things I need to scan is the big "collection" of card storage supplies I have since I didn't get rid of any.
