Line up card holders

[dtwsd]

I have been using the "Officials Game Keeper" for the last 3 seasons and love it. Line ups slide right in on both sides. Very easy to use. I got mine on Ebay but they have a website: www.officialsgamekeeper.com

I actually have used all year a nice insurance card holder I found at a car wash...has THREE panels - one panel for each lineup, plus a center panel which holds my bat ring, plus the silly jewelry rule and sportsmanship rule cards NYS makes all of its sports officials carry and read at all games.

I have 2 sizes of the ASA style. One is flimzy and smaller and the other is larger and rigid. The larger one was too large to put in the small pouch in my ball bag, so I did as someone suggested and did away with the pen/pencil slot in my ball bag by removing the stitches. It now fits perfectly. Dave

Auto supply store, auto section of your favorite xyz-Mart more likely. It sounds like one of those windshield visor / glove box holders for the registration and insurance of your car.

I really like the looks of this one myself. I think I'll order one and give it a try!

I use the vinyl one..I change between a bigger vinyl and little vinyl asa ones.. but both equally useless... so I usually end up wading up the line up cards/papers in a nice neat trash ball and putting it in a pocket, chosing a pocket which does not interfere with something much more important.. retrieving of sunflower seeds. I wouldnt buy something bigger and better in "uselessness". I have found that the bat ring inside the line up card pocket holds the flipping coin nicely, which is prone to falling out of my pocket for some reason... so I take it back, the line up card holder is "almost useless".

Thanks for the comments, guys.

This one looks really interesting. How have the vinyl hinges held up for your 3 seasons of use? It has two of them. Any issues in wet weather, since one line up card is always on the "outside" of the folder?

I wish they just sold in plain for a buck or so less instead of packaging all that other useless stuff with it (flashcards?, hat treatment?, pencil sharpener? excel file?) Even so, I may order one.

Dang it, I didn't think about that. Good question - and I've already ordered two!

Tom,
The hinges have held up very well. They are quite sturdy. I can't really speak to the weather issue as I am in SOCAL and we don't get much rain here. There are 3 clear plastic sections on each side that hold the line up card in place so that should help keep the line up dry. It also fits neatly into my shirt pocket when folded and it has never fallen out. As far as the extra stuff, some if it is overkill but the additional pencils and sharpener have come in handy. Hope this helps.
