I only use 1" binders.
Any thicker and the weight of the chips is more than the binder can bare.
I sort by casino type, then by location and casino.
I have binders for Riverboats and Tribal casinos that are then soughted by state and then by casino.
For Nevada chips, I have several binders for Vegas, and then a few for southern Nevada sorted by town.
Seperate binders for Reno and Tahoe and then a couple for the other northern Nevada towns.
Then there binders for Atlantic City, Colorado and Deadwood.
Several binders for Cruise Ships and Foreign casinos and another for non-casino chips.
Several binders for Puerto Rico sorted by casino.
A few binders for Dutch Caribean and other Caribbean casinos.
I ran out of room in my book shelf for binders, so I put chips from Canada and Card Rooms into double row boxes that hold the 2.5 x 2.5 crown size holders that I use.
I only use Cowens heavy duty plastic pages now because the cheaper pages will tear or deform over time.
How's that?
