Got it from Amazon, coin collection 60 album. Make sure it's 4.5 x 4.5, I bought a smaller one and they didn't fit. Coin folder
I just used a large D-ring binder and Tarot size sleeves I got at my LCS, then order the postcard size pages off of Amazon . Keep in mind though that they aren’t a right fit in the pages. The do shift, so I keep them in the sleeves as mentioned, closed side at the top of the packs. This is so I can put some clear tape to close the packs into the pages so they don’t fall out
Would be really nice if it had every set available. Im currently using
- TCG HUB (Android)
Working great so far for me, No adds & totally free + it runs smoothly
Dev said he is working on adding Card Image Recognition too just like this one shows off.

KMC Perfect Fit are sleeves that are designed to fit perfectly on normal sized cards, and thus work for Pokemon cards. They will thicken them up a little bit. They are completely transparent (no words, markings, or anything else on the sleeve), just a clear, colourless sleeve. They are very good quality.
Here they are on Canadian Amazon (would be cheaper on American if you live in the US): https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B0007N7PB2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
This one from Amazon. it isn’t very secure as the front is a bit flexible and the locking hinges are made of plastic but it looks decent and has a UV protected front “glass” - it’s some kind of plastic.
The box was actually called the "Sylveon Collection" and came with a Sylveon (I think as a preview of X & Y). So they could have done a nice Sylveon card in the same style...but they didn't :(
I remember seeing that Celebi card at a mall kiosk for like $30 when I was a kid. I was like "wow, that' expensive." Now it's like $140 on Amazon..
Barnes and noble currently has 30% off 1 item and another 15% becaus eof cyber monday. Brings this Evolutions Elite Trainer box to like $20
Hey all, I hope this is ok to post...
​
since a lot of people are asking, I got my cards from this guy:
​
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/903582883364775/
​
I've been to this guy's house and he has TONS of cards / sealed boxes. From what I understand, he used to own a shop that shutdown. Kept his inventory. He's been legit to me so far.
There is a Japanese art book, unofficially known as "the Silver Bible", which has full images of every Japanese TCG card printed until the year 2000. Recently, it has gone up in price as it also contains images of all the extremely rare and popular Japanese trophy cards printed at that time.
Another option is the Pokemon Card Game Art Collection Book, which contains more recent TCG artwork (only available in Japanese).
r/pkmntcgtrades is the sub
I got this one on Amazon, here’s the link to the specific one but there’s a bunch of different ones on there.
You can get it shipped to your door for around $34 if you live in the US. I posted about it yesterday along with the XY12 booster box for about $45 but for some reason nobody seemed to care. Surprising since people are regularly paying $57+ on eBay. Amazon Japan recently just started shipping a bunch of items internationally.
cont: Along with the site, the service is available on both app stores: Android and iOS
Disclaimer: I don't earn anything directly with this, I'm just a young developer that worked on both the mobile applications and want the product to succeed.
Any questions you have I'm happy to help you with.
Ps: English is not my first language, so bare with me (:
Official set lists that are available, updated to 2016-03-08. Base Set 2, Gym Challenge, Neo Genesis, Neo Discovery are fanmade.
http://www.filedropper.com/setlists
These are the official, pretty ones that come with theme decks. Yes, I know, there's thousands of those shitty looking plain text/Excel check lists. Not the same thing as they aren't optimized to be printable for binders.
If you're looking to buy a Snorlax GX box, http://www.barnesandnoble.com/ has a 25% off deal going on right now and it applies to all pokemon products. Even if you can just get your hands on an Elite Evolutions Trainer Box or an Alola collection box (which has been selling out on Amazon, making the price go up), it would be well worth it. My girlfriend is also a Barnes and Noble member, so she got an additional 10% off. Also, I'm 90% sure the coupon is reusable, so if you see multiple, you can get away with a pretty nice deal. I think over the past week, I've gotten the snorlax box for around 14 bucks, both Alola Collection Boxes for around 21 bucks each, and an Elite Trainer Box for around 30. Happy hunting! Hopefully it hasn't all sold out by now since it's Christmas season.
It is basically like there own craigslist, you can find it here. You can type in what you want and put in your zip code and it lets you choose how many miles from there you want to see listings. It has categories and stuff too.
Only thing I didn't see was a way to sort by newest, but I am sure its there, I just don't use facebook very much.
Sure thing! They can be a bit pricey depending on how many slots per page you want so theyll run you between 20 and 40 dollars. Although I don't like buying from them, Amazon has the most reasonable pricing. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00VFXWBXU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_VB8RYCWP3G660YEGDE75
My LGS carries these, so check yours first before buying online!
Hi - it’s the 6x7.87 case here on Amazon, it’s nice for display purposes but not for transporting/storage because it’s a little flimsy and the walls can separate too easily
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08HRST15W?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
As much as I hate to admit it I get most of my stuff on amazon.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08X6Q25JC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_Z3Y67PMNWQ0ZT2RF00MS
The binder sheets I bought aren't on Amazon anymore but I linked a very similar item.
They're bigger than perfect fits. Cheaper than them, and better for your expensive cards to minimize side wear. They're everywhere but here's an example
(1000) BCW Brand Trading Card Polypropylene Outer Sleeves - 2-5/8" x 3-5/8" - TCSP https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005LJX3ZE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_YS548MGTVEQ8KQQS48X4?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
I use resealable cello bags like these
AIRSUNNY 100 Pcs 4x6 Clear Resealable Cello/Cellophane Bags Good for Bakery, Candle, Soap, Cookie Poly Bags … https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0714KPVGZ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_B6G0X6D915N7HX8WHQ25?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
You can optionally put a top loader in with the inside to keep it flat/sturdy. These bags are a little bigger than a booster pack, but you can fold & tape flat the excess on the outside if you want.
Also search for “team bags” as I heard people use those too!
Awesome. I will have to look into that. I got back into the cards recently after I started watching Leon Hart videos. I hope I don't get a lot of heat for mentioning him lol I think there a mixed opinions about him but I like his videos.
I also recently bought this small binder to fit all of the important cards from my old collection. It's not too big and holds 160 cards.
Thankyou so much! I will keep with the perfect fit sleeves, is double sleeving a “must do” or is it for that added protection that’s optional?
Vault X Premium eXo-Tec® Zip Binder - 9 Pocket Trading Card Album Folder - 360 Side Loading Pocket Binder for TCG https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B071V91LGC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_fabc_n.0-Fb08QF92E?psc=1
These the right ones? I’ll order a bunch now if so!
A bit expensive but I found it on Amazon
Ultra Pro Trading Card Sorting & Dealer Tray (18 Slot), Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00QM5WYPQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glc_fabc_XSa7Fb0612K4Z?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Ultra pro 9 pocket with black felt. Makes the cards look nicer than regular clear pages.
Budget: I have about 14 different colors of these
Ultra Pro Eclipse 9-Pocket PRO-Binder-Sky Blue https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0024I5FCY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glc_fabc_mZS2FbAJVBQ9Z
Premium: Same but leather/some zip up
Ultra Pro Pikachu 9-pocket Premium PRO-Binder for Pokmon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B016QVA58I/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glc_fabc_Q2S2FbP7F2Q2B
I use the ultra pro 3 ring collectors album for my cards with the 9 slot page inserts. As a previous comment mention this can damage cards, but will on do that if you stand them up. Mine have always been stored flat (on there backs) and I have never had any cards get damaged.
I would also recommend getting some perfect fit sleeves and have each card sleeved individually (especially the holos) to help prevent any type of scratching to the card
These are binders i use, you would also need to get some card pages with these. They can generally hold way more cards then the ones with built in pages - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0002TT36G/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_4UuUFbN2EKH34?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
These binders are also super nice and have the built in pages as the previous comment mention. You can get a ton of different designs - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LZNQMC9/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_sUuUFb3NBV5YC
Thanks! Yes, my immediate goal is to put together the gym sets, I'd estimate I have half of those cards. After that will be the slow trek through the neo sets. Hopefully after that I'll have decided what's next lol. Possibly work on base 2 as well.
As for the binder, I have both the BCW (in the picture) and the Ultimate Guard.
I'm not 100% sure, but I think the ultimate guard came out first. So I bought it off of potomac distribution for $38. Then when I needed more binders for force of will, I checked amazon and found cheaper binders, I think I paid $25 at the time. Both binders are excellent, so I'd continue buying BCW just to save money (I have 2 and I'm about to buy another).
Sorry, that kind of turned into a mini binder review lol
It depends. I often comb through the Amazon deals. I'm currently getting the Magearna Collection Box, since it has a lot of promos and 5 packs. Pretty reasonable for $19 I think.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MU83NF4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I use Amazon Smile and Prime for my purchase. In my case, Amazon donates to the NRDC. So I can pitch in on conservation reform at the same time.
these work.. edit looks like you may have 1" of extra toploader at the top.. if that bothers you. There are pictures in the amazon reviews.
https://www.amazon.com/Ultra-Pro-81185-Toploader-25ct/dp/B004S37198
also, honestly at a glance the boxes on ebay and amazon are really close in price, theres a coupon for a box on amazon right now that brings it down to 89 shipped. if you live in the states and have prime, that's definitely the best way to go
Edit: didnt really account for tax, but unless you're really trying to save here, IMO for the shipping speed and buyer security alone its probably worth it
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005EYME9M/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_yIF5BbCEJVZMQ I bought mine through Amazon though itd probably be cheaper to go directly through their website, not entirely sure. I was just a bit lazy.
Those are called semi rigid card sleeves. I found a link on amazon for you here although they do seem to be a bit more pricier in the UK compared to the states.
So there are a variety of things to think about here:
1) Ordering of cards: I'd say 100% go with proper set numbering. I see people organize in Pokedex or type order, but when you buy more cards, you have to keep shifting them around...not good for preserving the condition of the cards, or for your sanity :D
2) Binders: Ringless would be best to avoid potential damage to the cards. IF you go with rings, get D-rings and be cautious about overfilling them. Also pay attention to how the pages sag when you stand them up - that can cause damage to the cards over time
3) Type of binder: Depending on what you plan to collect (expensive cards? Random stuff that you like?), getting zippered binders, such as these, can help keep dust, pet hair, etc. out. I use those specific ones and they are great, though the trade-off is less flexibility for re-arranging pages and sometimes the individual pockets are too large (I'd say around 1-2% end up being a bit too big for sleeved cards)
4) Labeling: Depends on the type of binder you go with. For ringed binders with pockets to place labels in, definitely print out some high quality labels - it looks amazing when they're all labeled :) If you go with the ones I use (in the link I posted above), I'd avoid labeling the binders themselves and create a spreadsheet or printout of which binder each set is in
Whew, hopefully that helps. If you have any other questions, let me know. And for reference, here is a pic of my binders on my shelf
i got it off amazon, its a great binder! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B016QVA58I/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The choice is entirely yours, I thought about going by Pokedex as it would be pretty cool & you could fill most of the pages with holos, The only off-putting thing to me was that the cards would be from different sets & it would stop me from being able to do what you are doing at the moment without having to get duplicates of cards which my wallet can't handle xD.
​
So for now i've done the same as you for the base set / jungle set / fossil set etc and left gaps for the cards that i don't have. I think this is the best way to start for me anyway also helps me knowing what other cards i need and gives me incentive to start filling those gaps!
*im most interested in the older sets of pokemon cards that i used to have when i was younger and less interested in the new generations so the way you have it now suits me better because of this*
​
P.S if you have an android phone i came across a helpful app for keeping your collection on your phone, it may be very useful to you as/when your collection grows :)
its free + has no adds and it helps me out as a fairly new collector - TCG Hub
I collect the Wizard's sets and have a HUGE need list. I'm trying to knock out the unlimited sets first and then do 1st Editions and then odds and ends. I think this link finally works: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B34I206ryjj2eXlBRTlEUTEwYjA&usp=sharing
There should be checklists of each set and which cards and printings I need of each card!
I ordered 2 Protego binders, here’s the Amazon page, mainly because Vault X doesn’t ship to Canada (or it was the same price to ship as the binders cost). They have been great, I wish they had more pages, but they work great. I believe Vault X are very similar, but they won’t let me find out.
Yeah, as long as there sleeves in some matte or clearfit I think it would be fine. Just make sure there out of the sun. :) I think one of these would be good. https://www.amazon.com/230-Toploaders-Storage-Box-Holders/dp/B09WDT665T/ref=sr_1_6?keywords=toploader+box&qid=1664008147&sr=8-6
I just bought the Card Guardian Premium+. It has 28 sheets while most only have 20 and it was the same price as the 20 sheet version. Only down side is that I have it full with every card sleeved and it is a bit tight to close. But other than that it’s great!
I use these(toploder binder) for storing the excellent design of the cards in the top loader. They are a bit pricey, but the binder itself is great quality and worth the price.
AFAIK holos will naturally bend. I had all mine in a 3 ring binder and they got bent pretty badly. I have since moved them to a Dex Pro: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B019JNHU6A?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
I also realized if I am spending so much on cards, I should at least present them nice too :)
Hmm.. I don’t see what post you’re referring to.
However, most of my stuff is in binders that are kind of displayed along with my sealed stuff at a desk I use to open, sort, sleeve, binder, encase, etc. my cards at. I did see this item on Amazon that I am planning to get after I have enough slabs to fill it. Graded Cards Display on Amazon
It’s awesome I love it, super versatile and has UV protection (I keep it in a dark room just in case though).
It is the Vault X Premium 4 Page Zip binder. It is great! It has double sided padding between pages, and fully seals around the sides with a zip. Vault X Premium Exo-Tec® Zip Binder - 4 Pocket Trading Card Album Folder - 160 Side Loading Pocket Binder for TCG https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07S95HXP1/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_QNBB53P6580X2H1GFQQY?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Here’s what I would recommend! It’s the 12 card page version, which ends up a better deal than their 9 card version. I’m sure the 9 card one is great too! Very well made and reasonably priced.
Vault X Premium Exo-Tec® Zip Binder - 12 Pocket Trading Card Album Folder - 480 Side Loading Pocket Binder for TCG https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07S93V4GP/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_i_798530HF3ZT1JVTBPRXW?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
I saw a bunch of reviews that it was a great binder and honestly really like it. The 4x3 takes a little getting used to but when you have both pages full it looks dope!
I get it. I like the feeling of the slab in my hands and the overall look of the slab. But hey, to each their own! :) You should look into the sleeve books instead of a three-ring binder as the binder can sometimes damage the cards.
Something like this:
i got it on amazon by searching “pokemon” binder there’s a ton of different styles but here’s the link to the one i got: https://www.amazon.com/TCGAMES-Pokemon-4-Pocket-PocketsTrading-Collection/dp/B09CG2Q6R1/ref=mp_s_a_1_8?crid=2SYNSFCOGIQDU&keywords=pokemon+binder&qid=1645498063&sprefix=pokemon+bi%2Caps%2C195&sr=8-8
Great collection !! You seen the twelve page binders ? Vault X Premium Exo-Tec® Zip Binder - 12 Pocket Trading Card Album Folder - 480 Side Loading Pocket Binder for TCG https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07S93V4GP/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_KNZVFY5ZY2RF6BMVRE8A?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
So by those measurements , I should be able to fit a decent amount into this box?
Sorry i didn't see your message. Ivm from Germany so my Amazon links won't help you but maybe the name of the product. I got two of them: docsmagic.de Premium Pro-Player 12-Pocket Playset Zip-Album https://smile.amazon.de/dp/B07VGMXD4R/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_i_634J61DVBAEF4HQJ3XQ5?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

I would say the ultimate guard one is slightly better than the docsmagic one but they are all good. :)
US Amazon has it

As someone who buys/sells cards on eBay I would download Poke TCG Scanner Dragon Shield App:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pt.tscg.pokemanager&hl=en_US&gl=US
https://apps.apple.com/au/app/pok%C3%A9-tcg-scanner-dragon-shield/id1199495742
You basically just open the app and scan the card and it pulls up the comps and price. SOOOOOO much better than eBay to give you an idea on value.
This should save you a ton of time. Scan the cards, get sticky notes, put the prices on them and stick to the pages they are at. This will give you an idea of value.
For now, I’ve got them in Ultra Pro 9 pocket binders, but I’m looking to upgrade them for the Vault X zipper binders
These (: Remote Control Under Cabinet Lighting Wireless 6 Pack, 20-LED Dimmable Closet Lights Rechargeable Under Counter Light, Stick on Touch Night Light Strip Bar for Kitchen Stairway Bedroom, 3 Colors https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07YTL27SY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_YEQETFHZMQJBF9QW76V8?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Yeah, I just noticed on the Oddish card! This makes me laugh so much, why would anyone do it on ODDISH and trainer cards 😂
I WONDER what we traded for these cards, because I remember we thought they looked super cool. Thanks for the reply! :)
these are cheap and work well for me I have a sealed pack on one in a case, a graded card, and a self slabbed card. They look great imo
If you’re looking for something a bit more official looking without the branding. People make some pretty good 3d printed ones for pretty cheap on Mercari, and eBay
If you choose to go the route of the binder, be very careful to not overfill it with pages. Leave ample room so that the pages can fall flat on their own without the other pages alternating it’s natural shape (like pushing them up in the middle). Fill it too much and your cards with start to bend. I would also recommend putting your cards into penny sleeves upside down before placing them in the binder sleeves right-side up so that the penny sleeves will act as a barrier to dust and moisture on the top of the card that is exposed.
If you’re really worried about keeping you’re valuable cards safe, I think the best option is putting them into a penny sleeve, then into a top loader, and then into another sleeve that incases the whole top loader like this one. Then store it in a box that can close and is somewhat sturdy like this. You don’t want something accidentally falling on it and potentially damaging the cards so I would avoid a cardboard box—these can also deteriorate over time and become snacks for certain bugs. Then you can put that box somewhere safe, in a temperature controlled environment (not your attic or garage). This will keep all the elements and dust off your cards and, if you decide to take them out 20 years from now to be graded and/or sell them, they will look just as good as the day you stored them.
Keep in mind, the two links are just the first examples I could find. I haven’t used those specific products myself but I figured it would give a good idea of what I was talking about.
Ordered from Amazon, they are normal photo albums for 4 by 6 photos. They have front and back slots on the pages, but putting them on both would be too thick for the book to close. Here is the link, there are other models I've seen people using but I like this minimalist one. :)
He’s one of my favorites, too! And this art is my favorite Feraligatr art!
So, my number one recommendation for modern jumbo cards (sword and shield era) is to buy one of the 25th anniversary binders! For the older xy and sun and moon ones, we have a photo album that we bought from Amazon: 6 x 8 Photo Albums Pack of 2 -... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07J4FKM52?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
For vintage stuff, I would recommend photo sleeves and top loaders. That’s what I have here. I picked them up at one of my local stores but they are made by ultra pro, so they have to be on Amazon or something. Hope this helps!
Here is a nice mini binder to hold them if you’re interested! I just bought one and love it. May not fit all yours though Amazon Link
I’ve had a family member that used to collect money coins at some point. I picked up cardboard “sleeves” that fold over and have a window and then I place that in those similar looking binder sheets you have.
Here’s the link for the cardboard stuff: https://www.amazon.com/BCW-1-PF2-HDLR-BULK-Coin-Holders/dp/B002BKM1RC?pd_rd_w=rT6JG&pf_rd_p=bd21ac36-fc3c-469f-acce-68814d02eac3&pf_rd_r=7M3XMSSPV0BMMJ4W49RW&pd_rd_r=6fd206ec-8d76-4b81-84ea-20ddee996002&pd_rd_wg=6GJcF&pd_rd_i=B...
There are a few commercially available top-loader binders I know of:
I personally have the Ultimate Collection Binder with 30 pages from eBay, but it gets really heavy once you start filling in the pages.
Any reason you suggest the 9 pocket over the 12? And I've read that perfect fit sleeves can damage the card, though I'm not sure how true that actually is. These binders can fit deck protector sleeves, so I was thinking of getting these as I didn't want to risk it.
https://www.amazon.fr/Ultra-Pro-330485-Cartes-Protection/dp/B005BFZAK4/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=ultra+pro+66x91&qid=1623237553&s=toys&sr=1-4 this is the ultra pro deck sleeves you use?
It has 720 slots which would fit gens 1-5 and all their multiple forms for pokemon like unown/castform etc. Worried that it will somehow squeeze the cards or something. I know you probably haven't used one but what do you think?
I just use these generic side loading pages i got off amazon.
I'd say they're a perfect fit, but are pretty close to the edge of the page. I'm not too worried, there's a 1/8" distance between the cards and the edge of the page.
I'd rather have a fully encased binder that protects from dust and moisture with unikeep than a standard open binder personally.
Definitely the best in the game: Vault X Premium eXo-Tec Zip Binder - 12 Pocket Trading Card Album Folder - 480 Side Loading Pocket Binder for TCG https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08G8X4BPX/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_G20YNFRHADNX0WZZDVX6
I use KMC Perfect Fit sleeves as the inner sleeve, then just standard size Ultra Pro sleeves for the outer sleeve. They pair together very well.
Pleased with the frame. Perfect fit sleeves fit in it as well.

I keep all my more valuable cards in these (along with perfect fits too of course) and I love 'em. I also bought the plastic bags that Ultra Pro makes specifically to put these in, just as an extra layer of protection.
Don't have the patience or the disposable income to get my stuff graded, so these are a great alternative.
I use resealable cello bags like these
AIRSUNNY 100 Pcs 4x6 Clear Resealable Cello/Cellophane Bags Good for Bakery, Candle, Soap, Cookie Poly Bags … https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0714KPVGZ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_B6G0X6D915N7HX8WHQ25?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
You can optionally put a top loader in with the inside to keep it flat/sturdy. These bags are a little bigger than a booster pack, but you can fold & tape flat the excess on the outside if you want.
Also search for “team bags” as I heard people use those too!
Additionally you can find hard acrylic plastic cases but they tend to be a little pricier and harder to find, I don’t have a specific good link for you at the moment.
If you’re really serious about the booster pack, you can send to PSA for grading and encapsulation!
They are titanshield sleeves. They are a nice fit. Come in different colors I believe. Got off Amazon. They have a foggy textured back. And FYI they will not fit in a magnetic case. You have to just sandwich them between the two covers. Otherwise I like them more than penny sleeves.

I imagine this has been said to you at some point, but please do yourself a favor and get a binder like this.
A ring binder makes me nervous for you.
Titanshield perfect fit sleeves, but im pretty sure any perfect fit sleeves will work. Doesn't have to be those ones

I use the titanshield brand off of Amazon. The cards fit in quite tight if you also have a perfect fit sleeve on them. I also think the pages just feel better, they are a bit thicker and have a light texture to the outside so they seem easier to flip and look through imo
I actually recently switch to these from the ultra pro pages for the same reason. Amazon has them for a pretty reasonable price too!

I'm in Spain no not sure what it would be in Amazon UK etc

It’s out of stock online but I found a ton of them in store, I was very happy.
I actually just got them off of Amazon. I don't know how heavy psa slabs are, but my acrylic cases are decently heavy and they sit well. There are also larger sizes, hopefully you're in canada:
I like using this for my top loader cards

I just recently upgraded to this binder after just using generic Office Depot 3-ring binders, and I really, really like it so far.
The downside is that it isn't a ringed binder where you can add sheets, but it holds 360 cards. You can also store cards front and back on the sheet without having them in the same compartment, which I love. The sheets inside are also really nice, and it isn't really much more expensive than buying a binder and sheets individually.
I personally like the fact that there are no rings in it, even though it is nice to be able to add/remove sheets. The rings always give me issues after a while.
But I store it horizontally. If you keep it vertically, it will damage the cards with time.
Ah dang. eBay or Amazon is probably your best bet still.
I also found it on US amazon, but not sure if it comes with the card since broken english.
Yes the foam is inside. I didn't do a super good job at cutting it though, but it was my first time trying. I just took a long bread knife and cut out the squares. its hard to keep the knife at a perfect 90 degree angle. A laser cutter would be awesome. You can buy new foam on amazon too. These are two good case options for cheap.

There's a local small card/comic shop in the next town over that sells these boxes in various sizes. I get the ones with the 4 rows in there. Otherwise, if you're looking for something online, here's something similar from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LYE9SJQ/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_U_x_Nag2CbKR2AM3E
I will say, when I bought this box and two $.99 plain card protectors, it was all like maybe $8 in total. I recommend that you find somewhere local near you that may sell these.
Check out Amazon Japan. Here's the Remix Bout listing: https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B07PQCV4P1
Read this comment I left a little while ago regarding placing orders on Amazon Japan: https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonTCG/comments/bpzaja/z/eo17nno
No need to use a proxy shipping service, as they deliver to you directly for a reasonable price. Also, the prices tend to be lower by about ¥400 each after you add the boxes to your cart, compared to the list price. Idk why that is but it's certainly helpful, even though prices are already good on the site.
the "high class pack" bit comes from the name of the japanese set, the korean release might just be the exact same thing.
Here's the link on Amazon!

It's pretty pricey at around 60 bucks, but the UV protection, ease of use, and pleasant aesthetic make it a totally worthwhile purchace if you would wanna do something similar!
I have every set from Base - Skyridge but no 1st Editions or Reverse sets. I always liked the regular sets better so didn’t feel the need to collect those for those last 3 E-Reader sets. Nice, I’ll have to check out Etsy and see what I can find.
I have got the binders on Amazon over the days (Ultra Pro Binders). Solid quality.

Are these the ultra pro sleeves you are using? Do they have the shiny sticker on the front of every sleeve? I just ordered the black deck protector sleeves from ultra pro and realized it has those stickers which I don't like.
