I'm not sure. I store antique photographs in that type of binder and pages. I also have a couple hundred postcards. They are now stored in archival boxes because I was running out of binders. Each postcard is in its own sleeve.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think for postcards, the plastic is bending from both sides and that process is stronger than the postcard stock can withstand.
