I really like the side loaders I’ve seen most Japanese card shops use - they’re nice and compact, easier to work with imo… here’s an example of one from a random brand:

However, I haven’t been able to find a “toploader”-style binder option for these sideloaders. I currently have mine in a toploader binder, it works… but the pockets are a bit large…

I personally also find toploader binders kind of awkwardly large (at least the standard 3x3 ones), and I was thinking that a sideloader binder would be more compact (since sideloaders are smaller) - which would be a nice plus.

Curious if anyone here knows of sideloader binders? I haven’t found any before online or at the few Japanese TCG supply stores I’ve checked at before. Thanks!
