   Yes, they are acid free and I've gotten some 4x6 ones (holds 6; three   
   pockets so two on each back to back allows 6 per page) and I've also   
   3x5 size ones (those are harder to find but I bought a box off Ebay...   
   ).  anyway, there's 5 3x5" holders which of course then holds 10 per   
   page.  Likewise, there are card holder pages too with 9 per page or 18   
   cards total.  Love them!   
      
   have you thought about flyweights?  They sell those in bulk too.  I   
   have a crapload of cardboard saved. I should ditch those as I'll never   
   be able to use them all unless I got into business.  LOL
