Question for those who store stamps in pockets

I actually trimmed mine down, but this is something I've just done very recently so it's hard for me to offer a comment. But I honestly think I should have left them alone to see how that worked and if I didn't like the way they were, then I could have trimmed them down.

I only have 1 6x6 stamp and it sits in the space next to my freezer bin. 6x8 stamp sets I always cut in half and store in one pocket in my bin. Those pockets I put a piece of printer paper in so I can clearly read what's on that part of the stamp.

I used the AE 6.75 x 9.375 pockets and trimmed them down. I didn't like all that extra room on top. The only thing that bugs me about trimming them down is there isn't a flap to tuck in. But I've learned to live with it in order to have uniformity.

We need pics please lol!

Thank you warrior1991! Looks clean and organized.

I don't have 6x6 stamp sets, but I do have a few 4x8 stamp sets. My theory is the same regardless. If I have large stamp sets stored in the same place, I want them in the same envelope size so they are uniform. If you keep the 6x6 stamp sets in a different place, then I don't see any harm in trimming them down. I use a postcard sleeve for my 3x4 (and doubled up 2x3) stamp sets because I don't feel like 2 3x4 sets work well in the 4x6 pockets...they don't have a flap and the lack of one doesn't bother me in the slightest. In fact, I feel like the flaps are annoying and more of a hindrance in my larger sets as it is.
