The present invention provides a billfold, wallet, or the like for carrying a plurality of cards, such as credit cards, in shingled and partially exposed relationship to one another whereby a desired card can be readily selected and withdrawn. The billfold has a pair of flexible walls which are sewn together to form an envelope-like opening. One of the walls has affixed thereto a multi-card liner. The liner includes a support member which has at least two vertical slits extending from a bottom edge to provide a downwardly extending tongue member. A plurality of card-receiving leaves is then provided. Each of the leaves has a tongue-receiving slit extending in a horizontal direction. The leaves are strung along the tongue of the support member in a vertically aligned, partially overlapping array to form the integral liner of the invention having a series of single edge overlying cavities arranged in shingled relationship for the reception of cards. At least one of the multi-card liners is affixed to one of the flexible walls of the billfold to provide a billfold structure having an envelope-like opening, one side of which has a series of card receiving cavities arranged in shingled relationship for the reception of cards.
