Album sleeve for baseball cards

Abstract

An album sleeve for storing and displaying at least one baseball card. The sleeve is created from a rectangular blank of transparent plastic film having three transverse fold lines whose parallel positions are such that when the blank is folded on the first line, it then defines a front panel overlying a rear panel. The second fold line is adjacent the end of the front panel to define a broad flap section which is folded over the back of the rear panel to complete the sleeve. The third fold line is adjacent the end of the rear panel to define a narrow flap section that is folded down to form an expandable internal pocket, the pocket being spaced from the second fold line to define a sleeve border that is hole punched so that the sleeve may be retained in a loose-leaf ring binder. The sleeve dimensions are such as to snugly accommodate a baseball card whose edge is received in the pocket and whose lower edge is at the fold between the front and rear panels, whereby the card is prevented from falling out of the sleeve.
