Definitely keep about five spare binders and spread out the more jammed-full folders. I used one binder just for all the cover sheets.
What sheets were they? Which issues? I have my own complete collection but stumbled upon a box last month of spares that someone who quit the collection gave me ages ago. I'd say it's only quarter of the collection but I might have what you are looking for. The only problem is that it would be another 6 months before I can check again as they are far away from me right now.
Kop is seeking: Issue 113 (Section 1, File 7, Card 13B) (Sport in the 24th Century) Issue 269 (Section 2, File 30, Card Appendix 2) (Admiral Janeway's Shuttle) Issue 271 (Section 1, File 3, Card 7C) (A-Z of the Stars Part 4).
I still haven’t filed all of mine. I have no idea if I finished it. I won’t lie...if I knew it was going to a good home, and my little admiral doesn’t mind seeing it go, I am pretty sure my Mrs would be glad of the shelf space should I sell it on/swap it or something. My dad bought that thing through years...I went from teenage geek to chain-smoking goth and every two weeks that magazine was still there. So I have some sentimentality.
This looks like a great if decades-old resource. Would be great in an ebook format - easy to collect all without taking up physical space.
Thanks for sharing. Memory Alpha's entry appears incomplete. Wixiban's website has the whole deal: http://wixiban.com/partworks/st-fact-files-03.htm
Anticipating that the folders would bulk out faster than the free binders would come, I bought about five extras in Week 1 when, for "the introductory price of $1", you received Issue #1 and a free binder. EDIT: Ah, old thread. And I already answered.
Those links on Memory Alpha and Wixiban are great! Would have helped a lot when I was compiling. I love my Star Trek fact files.
That looks like a site that's pirating copies. Please do not post anything that encourages piracy on this site. If I'm wrong, let me know.
The llustrated Handbooks contain all the ship related stuff as reprints from the Fact Files. Same illustrations and all...
