I will say that if you do go the 3 ring binder route, the Dragon Shield pages seem to be way higher quality than the Ultra Pro pages and really aren’t much more money. The plastic feels tighter, and the edges are rounded. It’s all very consistent and nice feeling. That’s just my experience having used both of them. The Ultra Pro ones aren’t bad by any means but for a couple extra dollars per package I’d rather get the higher quality pages.

A key consideration I haven’t heard anyone mention yet is how quickly the pages get scratched/scuffed. (It’s fundamental, because the point of the binder is to display cards, and scuffs/scratches between you and your cards look terrible. And once a binder is scratched/scuffed, assuming the pages can’t be replaced, the whole binder needs to go.)
I have some experience with Dex binders, which I loved except for what I just mentioned. I don’t buy them anymore for that reason. My favorites recently have been the Ultra Pro binders with Pokémon art on them (e.g., Tyranitar and Steelix from Undaunted or Mewtwo, Mew, Umbreon, and Darkrai from Unified Minds).

Interested in looking into the dragon shield pages. Does anyone have the zippered binders from dragon shield too? They look nice, although not sure how many pages they can hold, literally can’t find that info anywhere. Either the regular size or the Xlarge binder (that fits 4 cards across).
