Sorry if this is not in the right place but I have decided to start collecting the jumbo promo cards the only problem is I don't really know how to store them. I mean do they make pages with slots bIg enough for them? Or is there another way? So how do you guys store yours? Any advice is appreciated.
 
They do make sleeves big enough for them! I didn't think they did until I did some digging around. You can get a four-slot page sleeve from Ultra Pro that do the medium sized jumbo cards, such as box toppers, but they do also have full page sleeves for big jumbo cards. It's just a matter of hunting.

Prior to that I used to just store jumbos in those thinner page sleeves you have for documents, etcetera. However they don't really offer much protection because they're so flimsy.
 
You can get "heavyweight" sheet protectors at most office supply stores. I've seen them go as thick as 5 mil (compared to a standard sheet protector which is usually 2-3 mil). Would help against the flimsy aspect. Not as optimal as a protector made specifically for that size of card, but possibly easier to find (and maybe cheaper; dunno the pricing on the jumbo-sized card sleeves).
 
You might as well use sheet protectors... normally meant for paper.
 
Eh, given the jumbo sleeves are via Ultra Pro, they're honestly not that hard to find or expensive...

Alternatively you might want to get one of the A5 size top loaders commonly found in stationery shops, then sheet protectors for binder storage. Thats what I did for my Darkrai jumbo card.
 
The Japanese jumbo cards I have are around 8"x5,75", dunno if you collect those or the English ones. Just bought some toploaders for them when I found out that Ultra-Pro also produces them in 9"x6". I store all my jumbo cards this way and enclose the toploaders in a ziploc bag so no dust gets in, perfect protection if you ask me.
 
I only plan on collecting the English ones right now. I did find some ultra pro sheets on eBay I think I'm gonna buy though. Can someone tell me the English jumbo card measurements? Like the Zoroark one for example?
 
Keep in mind that Japanese ones fluctuate dramatically. As do English, for that matter, if you're looking at box toppers.
 
You could store them in picture frames, I guess. Speaking of jumbo cards I am currently looking for the jumbo Reshiram card as seen below!

No what you do is you cut the card into 10-12 pieces then put it in sleeves then you can play it onto your bench like a legend
