a question for the old time collectors

I remember going to a photography store as a teen in the 70's and getting
plastic pages, with no dividers, something you would put a comic
book in.

Then my mom had this machine that sealed plastic bags shut by
melting the plastic, and I made 4 pocket pages that way for my
Redman's and Exhibits.

They also had 6 pocket sheets for photos, and I put my other cards
in there. I've still got some Redman's and Exhibits in those
homemade card pages. I've still got some cards in those 6 pocket
photo pages.

Somewhere in the early 80's with the advent of price guides by Beckett
and card shops popping up everywhere all the pages/holders became
readily assessible.
