Unless the matches are special,features(pictures on the matches) or wooden, etc. I remove the staple and the matches and flatten them. This allows me to keep more covers in a smaller space. I have three 3" binders with Las Vegas only. There is a company called Matchbook Caddy Co. that sells pages to fit 3ring binders. The pages come in different sizes---to fit midgets, 20, 30, or 40 strike matchbook covers. If you are interested, you can EMail me and I will send it to you.
