AngieP's link hits the spot. I have a 3-ring binder that zips (they are clearanced a lot at Staples, OD, etc) and have 4x6 photo pages for my Q holders. I found that to be a bit neater than the baseball card holder method, however, not AS secure. If you get too many Q's in the top photo-holder, they tend to slide out. To prevent a travesty, I use small binder clips at the top of the openings.

If are you going to do the binder method, I would suggest NOT using the baseball card holders, they are too small and I found it very frustrating trying to fit coupons in them. I was able to find some sheet protectors that are made for photos that have 3 slots to a page. I haven't put my binder together yet, but I think this will work good. Make sure you get a zipper binder, you are asking for a mess if you have a regular one.

That literally made me laugh out loud! It's such an accurate description, though!

I use an accordian style folder (fits in my purse) to organize my q's. I put a sticky on each of the tabs and file accordingly. I also do this for q's I use to trade.

HAHA! When you get those really thick/high quality Q's that come with samples in the mail, that is what I think are the trouble starters are. They won't stick to the other circular Q's. Aveeno is the worst. They might as well print their Q's on a U-Haul corrugated moving box.
