Over the last couple of years, I had to think, and re-think just how I store them. I started off with CD/calendar cases (and still have a large collection of unmounted stamps stored like that), then when I got into Magnolia and Sugar Nellie, I started with a CD binder.............it really didn't take me too long to grow out of that solution though.
The best that I've managed to come up with now is some in the original, and by now over-stuffed CD binder and the rest on stored on book rings.
I laminate the image (if it comes with one, or if not I stamp out the image), then stick the stamp to the reverse, place it in a baggie and hang it on the book ring, in turn the book rings are hanging up next to my desk on the rack system I have.
That's as far as it goes at the moment, but clearly I'm going to have to address the indexing of them very shortly as the numbers increase on an almost weekly basis.
Stampers are notoriously inventive and it would be great if you could all share how you store your un-mounteds'. If you're not a Member of UK STampers then please leave us a link in the comments. {Members, don't forget to add a label with your username}.
I can't wait to see what ideas are out there.

I store mine on these sheets. I stamp/print my images on a sheet and use that as my reference just like you see in the picture. Very convenient.

I have a 'pocket' display book which fits A4 pages. I stamp the stamp images under specific categories and then they are all in one place for easy ref / inspiration
The stamps themselves I've stored in an small Ikea shelving unit. But now grown out of that and spread into a shoe box - oh dear!
