Battlestar Operation Binders

[PsyBear]

After scouring the web for a couple days, I've positively identified the Operation Binders as being Ergogrip Binders from a company in Sweden. Here is their website:

http://ergogrip.e-solutions.se/

If you go to their "Assortment" section, you'll see there are 2-ring, 3-ring, and 4-ring versions. I'm pretty sure that BSG didn't use the 2-ring version because the rivets on the spine don't match up to the auction photos of the Operation Binders. Unfortunately, every stock photo I've seen of the Ergogrip binders from the side appears to have the 2-ring rivet placement.

I have the auction catalog and just looked over all the descriptions for the listed Operation Binders and none of the descriptions specify the number of rings in the binders although a couple have been listed on e-Bay and have been described and being 3-ring binders.

Does anyone have a screen cap of an open Operation Binder to see how many rings they have (3 or 4)? Or did anyone win one of these in the auction who can chime in?

Alternatly, these binders appear to be sold in the UK under the name of Guildhall Ergogrip Binders and are available (at least the 2 and 4 ring versions) through UK Staples office supply stores. They're also pretty expensive... If someone had the time and could go into a Staples and take a picture of the side of the 4-ring binder to compare to the Operation Binders, that would be very helpful!

Remember, when a corner comes along, you must cut it. :sleep

Chronos,

Great find. Those are actually the same binders. Just like they are marketed as Guildhall in the UK, it looks like they're marketed as Axcess in the US. (Maybe Ergogrip isn't the original name either and they're not made in Sweden afterall.)

But at least you found a US distributer and there are actually photos of the binders with the correct rivet placement on the outside - presumably the 3-ring version.

Awesome!

Yes, they're VERY expensive. The cheapest I've found a single binder is here for $16.76:

Item Number KB53 - 2 1/4" Black with Opaque Spine

They're also available through Amazon in packs of 5 (one of each color) for $71.55.

I'll probably pick up a couple of these. Any creative people out there want to make an assortment of graphics for the spine and cover labels such as the Valkyrie/Pegasus/Galactica set???

Ok, How would the corners be cut on the binders?
