Magnetic Card Holders. Here's a link to them if you be wanna check them out - BCW 130 pt Magnetic Card Holder - 5 ct https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08QXK5MD8/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_8A5CFR18M5XVFR8H2WGW?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

I picked up a shelf like this, great for holding and organizing lots of product. You can set one up in a closet, and it''ll provide way more structural support for the collection.

Me too. I want to buy one of these Glass Curio Cabinet for my cards and boxes. One day...

I developed an Android app that will average eBay prices for most cards. You have the option to be redirected to eBay from the app too without having to enter the search details for the card. It's still a work in progress but you can try it out here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tcgportfolioreact&gl=IE

Oh dude yeah taking a closer look at that card and our given example, https://www.amazon.com/Pokemon-Mega-Charizard-EX-108-Flashfire-Holo/dp/B00K1GEPNQ

Top left corner does look off, then I checked the seller and he has 3 stars. ALWAYS avoid sellers with less than at least 50 stars, I prefer more like 200+ cause it's harder to fake. That corner is totally off you are absolutely right. Cancel that listing asap!

No need to spend the 35 a box. Target has food storage containers that fix the ETBs perfectly for 10 bucks a pop. Or you can go a simpler routed and get these from Amazon. 5 for 19 bucks.

Use this and look it over while in the slab I’ve found pin/micro dents in some of my cards before

Top Deck makes the best one by far it's on Amazon here

I came across these not too long ago. Has an acrylic cover that SUPPOSEDLY provides some UV protection. Anything in front of your cards (including the slab) provides SOME protection vs. a bare card just sitting there.

LED lights are by far the best option as they give off the least amount of UV light. No artificial light is anywhere near as bad as natural so definitely keep your cards away from windows.

You can also buy it here on Amazon jp for the dual pack. Not sure how more expensive it is but check it out. You’ll need to make an Amazon jp account.

I'm very particular about how I store things and I found that this Index Card Box works great for me. The booster packs fit basically perfect in the tarot card sleeve and it holds about 50 packs.

Hey I found this,

https://www.amazon.ca/Lanscoe-Countertop-Protection-Collectibles-14-6x11x12/dp/B07WS1CS6Z/ref=sr_1_45?gclid=CjwKCAjwo_KXBhAaEiwA2RZ8hLgFTjV0FS0UqreBTixTJh27ks3-d2VOXsjyR9MHsTI2A-aUJBeewxoCAv8QAvD_BwE&hvadid=600495903988&hvdev=c&hvlocph...

I think it fits the dimensions

Sounds weird but for booster packs I like to use Terrot card sleeves. These what I get 50 sleeves for $8! booster pack sleeves

Found some celebrations mini Tin display for msrp on Amazon. Market price is like $20 above. Mine have arrived and look totally legit 👍 Pokémon 25th Celebrations Mini Tins - 8 Mini-tins Full Display https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09JJ6NXMN/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_KSPKT9KE792SNWWNK7T2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Here is one’s I think are much cooler

Amazon ones (I did get one of these delivered completely cracked since they didn’t pack well - reordered)

Ultra Acrylic Booster Pack Display Case Box for Pokémon Yu-Gi-Oh Trading Cards Booster Packs (Pack of 5) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09RPDX941/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_3GG046H8HRMSRFJRKK95?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Because of numerous questions and incomprehension, I'm gonna try to sum everything up in this comment.

I live in an attic appartement, where the floor and the roofs have a 1.2m high gap. Hence why the image looks not in proportion to the "real world". Also, the binders are in a 2x2 grid but can contain up to 240 cards, hence why they look so small and beefy compared to the booster boxes.

You can understand it better with this picture I took at my eyes level -> https://ibb.co/bsh1bPc

I'm a Pokémon Collector since I'm 4 years old (so 19 years now) and I aim for the Master Set (All the Pkmn cards from all official sets). The Pkmn Binders you can see on the top of the shelf have a number ranging from 1 to 101 indicating the set in the binder.

I have roughly 17000 cards out of 22000, and buy 5 displays for each new set.

I also weight Pokémon Boosters, this is why you can see boosters full in the shelf and in the Displays, as I don't sell them neither open them, I just keep em' for no reason.

I'm also a fan of mangas and retrogame, thus why there is a crazy One Piece collection and some old videogames

I also plan to change the boxes on the bottom with a gigantic PKMN Statue (~40cm height, max 46) if anyone could help me find one.

Thanks everyone for the Upvotes, the comments and the love, I hope I gave you inspiration and nice ideas on how to show your collection as much love as I gave mine. Have a great weekend, and I'll be available all weekend long to answer other questions if you have some.

EDIT: THE SHELVES FOR ANYONE WANTING THEM. (Don't pay more than 50$/piece, the prices are changing every WEEK, I paid 30$ each with 20$ shipping per one) https://www.amazon.fr/dp/B078JMWCD2/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_i_81HM1W1NS3SJBMTSNV3A?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 ♥️🎉

Android release is out today :)

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.collectrinc.collectr

Please don't forget to leave us a review if you enjoy the app, really means a lot and helps us out!

So I am looking to store my sealed product in my garage and just wanted a second opinion to make sure I won't potentially ruin my collection.

Some pointers:

• I live in NYC so I get all types of weather and temperatures.
• Garage has never been flooded, not worried of it happening either.

I plan to put my items in a large storage container along with some moisture packets inside and finally wrapping the entire container in a plastic bag if possible/necessary.

• Link to the container

• Link to the packet

I don't plan on opening the storage containers often if at all, I just want to preserve them.

• Is there any harm in putting more than 1 packet in each container?

• Is there anything else I should be aware of?

Thank you so much in advance. Love this community.

I ordered a binder on amazon that holds cards in toploaders and protects them from dust by keeping the top covered. It's quite nice but almost never in stock. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08K3RSMP3/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1#customerReviews

Developer of a mobile app to track the value of your raw and PSA graded collection.

iOS: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/tcg-portfolio/id1601696394

Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tcgportfolioreact

The App What's it Worth? Is an amazing tool for price research. Very accurate pricing history for sold items with separate Auction and Buy It Now stats. Price trends, highest selling listing time, customizable searches to ignore certain keywords, etc.

The dev is also very good and will address any issues quickly. I've linked the premium version but there is also a free one.

Oof they are pretty but expensive, could a UV-protected plastic wrap do the same trick? Wrapping tightly like a giftwrapper?

Clear UV-plastic

I use a two row graded shoe box and protect the slabs with a sleeve. Stored in a safe.

I use these: Rubbermaid Cleverstore Clear 95 QT Pack of 4 Stackable Large Storage Containers with Durable Latching Clear Lids https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07PR9NM54/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_BPEFGXZYKMBFBPJWJQDG

Clear bubble wrap, fits perfectly in. You can even display box if want. They also stack.

5 Gram [60 Packs] Silica Gel Desiccant Packets with Orange Beads Humidity Indicator Safe Double Packed for Air Dryer Moisture Removal, Food Grade https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M7V19JE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_WYX0PYBH52G9YBKM8634

Are these safe for card storage? Says food grade.

I use a regular printer and print onto 4×6 labels. The ones I use are linked below. All regular printers support these. I slap them onto kraft bubble mailers. And that works for the ebay card shipping or I have a template for orders that I am using stamps on and print that onto one of these labels. It makes everything super easy

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07RT2MFB6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apap_inCrUFwMdz42V

I might just do that then. I have some one these https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07XR7R88W/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 do you think that would be fine to stick in a mailbox with a non machinable stamp?

Here's another one that's 37.99
