The Best Card Portfolio/Binders

[KingPokemon]

This dude put a lot of work into his binder research producing dozens of binder specific videos.
This video is the result of all that work and gives his final opinion on the best portfolios for your collection.

Top 3 Best Binders and Portfolios for Magic: The Gathering, Pokemon, and other Card Games

I actually watched some of his videos awhile back. He has some great reviews. I can definitely atest to the Legion binders.

TCC does some excellent review work, really does a great job breaking down all aspects of a product. Personally, all I run are zipfolios from ultimate guard. There’s something about that zipper that puts my mind at ease knowing my cards won’t be covered in dust when I go to open them a few months from now.

He’s a mega shill so take all his stuff with a grain of salt. One of the MTG content creators that were paid by and promoted pucatrade which ripped off a lot of people. This guy is almost as much of a scam artist as The Mana Source.

I can see why you dislike him, but he’s no criminal or scammer. He might have been affiliated to the wrong people in the past, but his review videos seem fairly informative.

He’s not biased or pushing people to buy one brand, he gives pros and cons and people can choose which best suit their needs.

If he’s willing to push puca for puca bucks how can you trust any other review? Don’t think someone who sends him stuff or money is going to get a better review? Dude is an e-beggar and can easily be bought.

I like the ultimate guard zip folio been using the same one for about a year.

Just use your own eyes to decide and don’t put all your faith into the presenters especially if you’re easily persuaded. Most here are smart enough to read beyond the hype;)

Agreed. Would value an e4 member’s advice in this thread much more than someone who has an opinion that can be bought.

Sorry it struck a nerve but there are some serious MTG sell-out/e-beg individuals who screw a lot of people over. Worst thing recently being The Mana Source telling people to buy a card from TCG Player(sponsor) when it was going to be reprinted in the new Ultimate Masters set and tanked. This surely screwed people over and turned them away from the game/collecting. I don’t own or collect Magic but hate seeing people get scammed for these sleezy individuals to make a buck. Same could happen in Pokemon and ruin the hobby for individuals.

Regarding the Dex binders, is there potential for the elastic strap to bend or warp the cards on the outer row? I don’t use the straps on my binders.

I’d say it looks like there’s potential, yeah. Perhaps it’s minor/not even noticeable, but it’s something to keep in mind.

[gemmintpokemon]

I like the “Fours” Binder. I worried about cards closest to the binding creasing/bending and this binder has not had that issue so far. It was around $45 on Amazon & the pages are 4x3.

I have 3 Dex binders completely full and use the strap. I haven’t had any problems with warping or bending, but I do double sleeve my cards.

Thanks to Scotts binder video’s I went all in on the Ultra Pro Pro Binders

Same. The cover is sturdy enough that the stretchy strap doesn’t actually put pressure in that one spot.

I can’t stand fixed binders for my main collection. If a page is screwy you can’t swap it out and I hate having empty pages at the end. I have tried loads of different ones, and I do like the ultra pro premium or pro binders, but yeah I don’t use them for much just a few oddball collections here and there that I slowly work on assembling in my spare time (so rarely).

I run 3 ring binders with the black ultra pro 18 pocket side load pages for my whole collection. Some day I may migrate to the unikeep someone has posted here but that is in the middle of a long to do list. I can definitely vouch for the black ultra pro 18 pocket side loads though. Nice stuff and I like the black backgrounds.

You could always cut unused pages out if that is going to be the dedicated binder for a set.

Since his video on dex binders I’ve been a huge dex protection fan. IMO they have the best price to quality ratio. I have 5 of their deck boxes and two binders. The suede is just so nice!

@garyis2000 TCC is the biggest MTG YouTuber, he’s been doing reviews for a long time. You can see all his reviews on his website in a ‘report card’ with links to all the videos, it’s pretty handy. I got some ultimate guard 9 pocket xenoskin zipfolios for Christmas for my vintage MTG sets, they’re pretty damn good.

Link to the report card for anyone interested, it’s a great lot of unbiased reviews:
www.tolariancommunitycollege.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/TCCReportCardLive.pdf

@rattlebear I don’t think TCC is a shill either, he openly criticizes WOTC and other companies in videos quite regularly when they release a poor product and he is openly against a lot of WOTC’s business and PR decisions. He was sponsored by pucatrade at the height of it’s popularity and I don’t think he understood the issues with the inflationary points system. At the time pucatrade was generally accepted as a good product by the majority of the community, people preaching the inflation issues were the minority at the time. There’s nothing wrong with taking on sponsors and getting paid as long as it’s disclosed which it was.

Did he apologize and/or make a warning video about PucaTrade after it became obvious? Easy to pretend not to notice the issues when you’re benefiting from it. How many free points did he get? How many cards did he get with those free points? How many cards did he actually sell for points? Did he do anything to make up for the profit he made with all those free points? Did he send the cards back to the people he got them from?

Dude is also e-beggar enough to make a video called “I just lost my job. Can I have a dollar?”. He would suck or shill for anyone and anything that benefits him.

Is Wedge a shill? Answer is yes and IMO even more so than TCC. He recently put out an MTG finance video telling people to buy $15 Creeping Tar Pits from TCG Player when it was going to be reprinted in Ultimate Masters. This punishes people with less knowledge in a hobby and hurts the hobby overall.
