I really like this case, if you haven't seen it, it is nylon fabric with
farily sturdy plastic holders. It doesn't hold the larger masks in perfect

So, that's kind of a bummer.

Of course, this will only be really useful if you don't plan on removinng
the masks from the portfolio ever again. Post if anyone makes this work!

(...) Actually I ran out and got it. Not bad for FREE. BUT...My 2¢ review on this case. The configuration is a little awkward. They have not enough rows to place the masks in the same style as the stamp sheet. So the last row (if your looking at (...) (23 years ago, 7-Nov-01, to lugnet.market.shopping)
