A series of embodiments of the poster board invention ("Smartboard(TM)") are described, using various types of securing handles, to aid in grasping and maintaining positioning of the board. Additional features of some of the embodiments of the poster board system with handles, include the ability to crease, fold, or collapse the board, such as into an accordion form; to have pre-printed permanent or erasable lines; to have pop-outs or cut-outs for visibility; to have pre-printed graphics or messages; to have fittings for attaching attention-getting devices such as flags, lights, sound-making devices, or banners; and to have fittings for extending the board size or for connecting multiple boards together. The securing handles may be permanently and fixedly attached, or detachable. Among embodiments of the handles are securing means including adhesive foam, staples, and locking tab systems. Another embodiment of the poster board system with handles is as a greeting card holder, in which securing devices are positioned between the creases of the accordion-folded poster board system. In this embodiment, the poster board system with handles, holds a plurality of greeting cards. Another embodiment of the poster board system with handles which holds greeting cards, includes a plastic sheet protector as the securing device. A further embodiment of the poster board system with handles is as a holder and organizer of men's neckties. This embodiment is as in the accordion-folded, greeting card holder, wherein each panel between the creases is of a different color, representing a possible color of a men's shirt. The securing device, such as a plastic sheet protector, secures a plurality of men's neckties; the neckties color-coordinated with the panel color; the panel color representing a possible color of a men's shirt.
