try using comic book stock http://www.amazon.com/Current-Size-C.../dp/B001MDF4UA I use it and it keeps everything uniform and it's archival and relatively inexpensive.

I've been drawn to the different "boards" that are out there where you wrap the fabric around the board. To me, they're a bit pricey if you consider 100 or more of them at 50 cents or so each. I'd rather use the money to grow my stash.
Anyway, a while back my girlfriend gave me some 22x28 chipboard that she had. It worked out great. Yesterday, I placed an order to www.dickblick.com for the chipboard. I ordered 25 sheets and with standard shipping of $7.99 my order vame to $22.79. Do the math. I will get 8 6x11 boards from each sheet which figures out to be 91 cents a sheet and 8 boards a sheet, I will get 200 boards at 11 cents each. I'd attach a photo, but I don't know how to get it off my Blackberry!!
