do these sheets fit in a picturesque portfolio?
pretty sure it's been stated that they will not fit in the old portfolios.
Where was this stated?? They look pretty identical. Would make my life so much easier..

considering these are a tad larger than the original ones, to allow the user to easily put the print within the sleeve - that means they're bigger and won't fit in the original portfolio.

I forget if it was here, twitter, whatever - but it was mentioned previously.

Also, how long will the 20% discount last?
Can't you just put an 18x24 into it though without problems?

You can do that, or even fit two 18x24 in one sleeve. If you want an 18x24 portfolio though those are also widely available and it'd be a lot more price-friendly to just invest in one of those.

Sleeves in my portfolio could be 1/4" longer width/length and easily still fit. I never had much of an issue getting prints in to begin with though. Would love some more sleeves for my portfolio but I certainly don't need a new one. I understand making them incompatible from a business standpoint.

I am glad that someone is offering portfolios again though. Definitely a need within the community.

From an archival standpoint am I better using these portfolios or just keeping the foam core sandwhich?

You are no better irrespective of your storage strategy for the prints.
