I picked up one of the Pikachu Ultra Pro Premium Binder up last week, and moved few of my complete set into it and it protects the card well! But yeah you wont be able to see the back of your cards!
I second the Dex Protection 9-pocket binder. It has a much sturdier cover and a tighter strap than the Ultra Pro. Legion Dragonhides are also amazing. I personally find the 12-pockets a bit too unwieldy. I use two 9-pocket Dexes for large collections of various high-end cards and several 4-pocket Dragonhides for specific collections like gold stars, shinings, secret rares, obscure promos, etc. In the end it all comes down to personal preference.
I agree with Scott, its truly the best and it is now also available in another design with a Red/White poké ball pattern. Check Amazon, they are usually cheapest!
EDIT: Just saw Scott added those images in the following comment lol.
I use these aswell, I have 11 of them ha…but I need to sort through my cards as they are in folders, finders,boxes etc! I lay the above binders flat on my shelf. Highest value cards in the are only £49 ish down to £1 i think hh! it adds u when you have over 3.6k cards in them but reallly needs a sort and sell ha. Good ideas for binders though…i am re arranging my collection so thats gonna be fun D
Second these. You have the freedom to move pages around, can be stored laying on their side safely and they are enclosed. Only down side is you have to watch what pages you buy as not all will fit inside.
I use these as well instead of the premium ones because IIRC I have 10 or 11 and they’re all different solid colors which helps me identify by sets, while there are fewer color options for premium
I prefer these binders because they have enough room for a decent number of pages, the rings are straight on both sides, and there is a mechanism to prevent the pages from moving when closed. Also, if by some chance the rings did damage the cards, it would only affect the cards in the inside middle slots.
I have had some trouble finding binder pages with the correct hole positioning though. I had to order mine from the UK, if I remember correctly.
Has anyone used both 9-pocket DEX and Legion Supplies Dragon Hide binders? Do you feel one is better than the other (aside from aesthetics)?
I exclusively use Legion Supplies but these are getting hard / pricey to get where I am. And though I’m mostly satisfied with it, I think they could be more consistent with the quality (some manufacturing damage here and there).
Just picked one of these up! (Surprisingly the cheapest option seemed to be not on eBay but at “The Dragon’s Lair”) I’ll be putting my newer collection in it in the near future to film a video!
