Bee Hive hockey cards.

[Balticfox]

I set out to collect the woodgrain Bee Hives just less than two years ago and quickly accumulated about 68 out of the 215 or so issued . But!!! My collection then stalled out when I couldn't find the right sheets in which to store them.

I need two pocket sheets so I can store four in each sheet back-to-back like so:



Should be simple since the woodgrain Bee Hive's are 8" tall and 5 3/8" wide and a standard piece of office paper is 8 1/2" x 11". Now Ultra Pro makes 8 1/2" x 11" one pocket sheets into which standard size pieces of office paper fit. Therefore Ultra Pro's two pocket sheets should do the job, right? Wrong. For some infernal reason Ultra Pro reduced the width of its two pocket sheets to 7"! (And yes, I have pointed out both the error of their ways and their character deficiency to the company.) The best I've found so far is another brand of two pocket sheets intended for paper currency that are exactly 8" wide and therefore don't quite work.

What kind of sheets do you other fellows use for your Bee Hives? Has anyone found any plastic sheets of ideal size?
