Canadian, I wish I could help ya out, but I can't even picture a TMNT original toon binder! I'm sure one must have been made at some point, and I'll bet I've seen it, but I think finding one in good condition (or at all) might not be real easy. Good luck there.

For the cards, you might have good luck here, but if you have an account, Ebay is CRAWLING with them for cheap. You can get anything from the Brooke Bros. "Hero Turtles" tea cards from the UK to the OT tote packs to unopened boxes of movie cards and the 2K3 fleer stuff for next to nothing a lot of the time.

For your comics, I would reconsider the binder if condition is real important. You shouldn't store comics any way other than with mylar sleeves, acid free boards, standing upright and packed in a comic box (snugly, not tightly!) I've also heard of many people using bookshelves with bookends and that seems to work real well for large collections.

I know that all sounds crazy but it is the best way to keep your stuff. Of course, if your goal is more to display than to preserve, a comics binder is a nice presentation I suppose.

Okay I'll stop rambling on now.
