I want to print out covers for my 3 ring binders that my sets of cards are in.

Any resources of templates or ideas would be very helpful. Thank you

i usually go to the packaging area and right click and save something from there. At the point I just print it out on my computer. I've also used google search for sets or players and print the images that I like.

I have gone to Google and typed in Topps, Score, Sportflics, whatever then insert the sport and year underneath the logo and put in the plastic sleeve in the binder to identify.  Pretty much what Randy said.

I've seen some really well done ones, but don't know of any templates.  Here's a spine pic for ideas ...

Pictures of a wax pack from that year on top, large set text, and picture of a wax box on bottom.  The same guy did front covers with some of the key cards from the set as the background and set name on front also.  For the backs, he used a checklist card as a template and made his own custom 'key card checklist' to cover the entire back.  I can grab a link to a front/back sample if you like.

cl_kyle, That is really freakin' cool.  I love the pictures of the packs.  Great idea.

i'd like to see a link, can't find them by searching

Avery.com has a design template program. You can use it on the web or download it to your PC. That's what I use.

I never thought about checking Avery for spine templates! Thanks for the suggestion. I've been trying to do them on Google Docs and think the Avery website will be a better option.

for cover art I used a simple thing  

I dropped cards on a scanner in a hap hazzard way  a couple  showing the other side   Base  inserts   subsets  that are in book    then I scanned it     turned cards over  and do one for back 

Used a  photo editing program  and added  set name     

another was   I would  have a recap  of the season  playoffs  teams  with records       and all star game center top        I added pictures of  teams that made playoffs        Just for me    at bottom center   How the Phillies did  

Here's one I created for my 2019 Topps Heritage set (I'm still in the process of inventorying/completing this set). Perhaps it will provide a slight bit of inspiration. I love the other suggestions too. The binder spine images are especially impressive. I think I'll be making my binder spines something like those.
