Anyone here collect pocket schedules. While researching this I noticed a few threads mentioning the pocket schedules and if they should be added. I believe the should be maybe like the publications are?
Just curious, Have many throughout the years and have a few extra.

Trying to acquire one card for every for every set, insert, parralle, minor, euro, team issue, oddball etc sets produced for Hockey. Been an interesting project.

<--------- staying out of this one!

I'm going to reevaluate how I collect after the new year. It's just getting way too expensive for the new stuff. Sometimes I just want to buy a pack, not a whole box or even blaster.

The pogs (tonx?), coins, stickers, unlicensed cards, homemade cards, gaming card decks, cloth patches, jello molds, stamps, playing cards, 8x10 photographs, etc., look down upon your pocket schedules from their lofty trading card perches and laugh.

LOL @ UK - man, you're bad.
I collect schedules, but have NO organization for them at this point. I guess you could say I hoard them. :)
Admin has specifically said that the foldable pocket schedules are not permitted here.

I used to collect them heavily. Even went on a kick where I was emailing minor league teams for any from past seasons. Phillies fans, I have Clearwater Phillies pocket schedules from about 2002 and 2003 if you're interested. Big problem for me was that I ran out of a good way to store them. At first, the standard ones were able to fit into 9 pocket pages. Then they started getting bigger, and wider, and soon wouldn't even fit into 6 pocket pages. I tried a box at one point, but as with my collection, I hate not being able to flip through and see them all. So honestly, at some point maybe in 2018, if anyone is interested in any, I will probably post them for sale on my blog, or use them for trade package throw-ins. However, if we do decide to add any here, I'm sure I could provide some scans. I may have some UMass or Florida State single card schedule "sets" like some already added on the site. Not sure.

I'll never quit collecting entirely, but I am downsizing. Check out my COMC store and help me thin out what I don't want so I can buy cards that I do want. See something you like? Send me a message on here, and we can knock the price down quite a bit. I'll even take a bit of a loss if it means getting you a card you really want.

I have not seen any jello molds on here yet :D
I have a few pocket schedules. I can't say I collect them per se, in that I have not spent any money on them, but I have some I was given or got for free, in both NBA and NASCAR. I don't count them as part of my card collection, but I do store them with my cards. I think I have less than 10 in my collection, and I can remember, off the top of my head, 7 of them.

VERY slow trading due to health problems. Not transferrable so safe to trade with, just moving is painful and can't always access the cards.

hmmmm, When the topic came up way back when, I was in favor and "rallied" every point I could. As mentioned in replies to this post. I keep mine with my cards as well, makes sense, I wouldn't keep them with my trains. LOL. LMK, when Admin changes the policy...I will then add mine. ~BOB~

Mine are all over the place, too. Some fit nicely in standard 9-pocket pages, but many are odd sizes. I'm sure that many would fit well in 4-pocket pages. I also have several unfolded ones, that fit ok in the 3-pocket "currency" pages. So, basically, trying to get any continuity to them (like a nice chronological order) goes out the window, as they can really only get grouped by size. (Even storing in boxes, they wind up this way.)
Unfortunately for me, I'm juggling so many other items, the ticket/schedule box I have takes a backseat.
