I saw this on another forum and thought I would post it here in case anyone is interested.  The Inkwell Awards, a non-profit focused on education regarding the art of inking, regularly has fundraising auctions on eBay.  The current one closes soon and has a few interesting pieces:

I don't know the answer to the question, but just a suggestion if someone confirms what we would all expect (that heat and sun exposure are damaging) -- you may want to consider installing low emissivity film on your windows to try to help reduce the heat gain.

Most of my pages fit nicely in the 11 x 17 size, but when when some of have been too snug, I put them in an 18 x 24. The problem I have with the bigger size is that they don't sit neatly when I open up the portfolio like they do with the 11 x 17. So, you may want to buy two.

By the way, if you get into this hobby, I guarantee you that you will fill both books--and then some.

 Awesome -- thank you!  I found one on Amazon if it helps anyone else in the future.  I wasn't totally sure what the next size up was.

Although I have a ton of stuff framed and up, I already have quite a few more pieces that I can use to start filling up one of these books.

Most people prefer to also get 1 size larger than the art they are storing, so it lays more flat.

I have 1 11x17 portfolio that's full, with all 11x17 pages in it, and i'm planning on replacing it, because it bows like a mother with all the pages in it full.  And eventually the art will get warped.

That's very helpful.  So, you would get 18 X 24?

I'm not sure the brand matters too much as long as the materials are archival, but it seems like most portfolios out there are Itoyas.

So, something like this one?

This may have already been answered elsewhere in this thread (I've only managed to read through about a third of the pages), so apologies if it's readily available, but -- what sorts of "art portfolios" do folks use to store pieces?  I've framed the majority of my collection, but there are a few items that I haven't (mostly because I'm running out of wall space), and I'd like to find something I can store them in so that I can look through them from time to time.  What do you all use?  If there's a specific portfolio or other storage medium that you use, can you post a link to where you purchased it?
