I use the 15 pocket tobacco pages. I used to hate them for the same reason some of you do, I thought it was hard to get them out of the pages. But then I discovered a really simple trick to getting them out. I use a mini card top loader to gently push them up from the bottom. It doesn't hurt the card or the page.
I also rarely ever have to take a card out of the page. I'm an Allen and ginter set collector so I put enough pages for the entire set in my binder. The only time I usually remove them is if I accidently put one in the wrong spot, which happens from time to time the older I get.
