actually I have seen them many times, but I have never been able to
find any for sale
for instance Hollywood Book Store has a whole row of them with
posters & lobby cards filed in 12x15 inch file folders, which I have
also never been able to find anywhere
My presumption is this file size is no longer made, and therefore you
must find someone selling them second hand
I'm sure if I was in New York again, I'd be able to find them in a
minute because that's one of the few things I miss about the place I
grew up in.. you can find anything that you can't find anywhere else.
By the way, I also miss the museums, and some restaurants.. like
Katz's Delicatessen and Siam Orchid...

then they are wide enough the drawers are not toall enough. Any

Rick - try a specialist office furniture supplier.
I have never found a standard size file cabinet yet that have
drawers tall enough to stand 11x14 cards (or folded one sheets) up straight.
If you use stiff acid free board as backing and bag them in acid
free bags, then they will go in a standard file cabinet drawer, but
at an angle. many such drawers also have the slots in bottom of
drawers for you to slip in the metal dividers that allow a good
number for documents (or as in your case, lobby cards) tilted at a
safe, slight angle so that you don't get "bowing" in them.
Depending on how many cards you have (and there is too many for acid
free lobby card size binders as an alternative) then you may want to
talk to a cabinet maker to have something made to order size wise.
Kind regards,
Phil
It could be worse - you might collect Mexican cards.JR wrote:
Rick,
This question is completely on-topic, Rick. Hmmm... given that most
legal paperwork is done on 11x14 paper, the lawyers must have
figured out a solution long ago... check with a specialty supply
company that caters to the legal trade... or maybe just ask your
friendly neighborhood lawyer where he gets his filing cabinets?
