I use the same sleeves and they've held up well over 3 years. So i'd say yes. And it doesn't matter what binder you really use...I just got the cheapest ones I could find and just like the sleeves, they've held up.

The sleeves are fine. Look for "acid free" and "no PVC" when you are buying sleeves. I usually prefer the Ultra-Pro binder sleeves that are sold in card shops and comic book stores since they are thicker and would resist creasing a little better.

As for the notebook, I would not use the one you provided a link for. I prefer the ones that have a flat ring on one side so that when the cover is opened, the photos remain flat and undisturbed until you carefully flip them. They are usually described as "heavy duty" or the like.

they look the same still, no fading? thanks for the reply, does anyone else also use this brand?

Yep, they look the same as they did the day I got them. You shouldn't be hesitant to buy them, really. Like packrat said, just look for ones that are acid-free and PVC-free.

Yes, you can even go to wal-mart and get cheap ones too, if the say PVC/Acid free or archival quality, then you are good to go!

And for binders, as long as its a hard sturdy binder, its good!
