It is natural to feel overwhelmed by the sheer number of card storage options out there. Who knew there were so many ways to protect your cards? Whilst it may be tempting to store your cards in an old shoebox (don’t worry, we’ve all been there), it’s unlikely to be offering your cards the protection they need and deserve.
So, I’ve done the hard work for you and compiled this simple list to help get you started. Grab your cards, bin that shoebox, and let’s go!
Binders
Binders are the staple of any card storage collection. They stylishly protect and store cards, meaning you don’t have to worry about getting them lost or damaged. Vault X Binders are compatible with a variety of cards, including Magic: The Gathering, Pokémon, Match Attax Football Cards, and many more. All pockets are sideloading.
A great binder to start off with is the Strap Binder. With this binder, you can easily ‘strap and go’. Strap Binders can be purchased in either Standard or non-slip, water-resistant Exo-Tec® material.
Standard strap binders are available in three pocket capacities:
- 4-Pocket (20 pages, holds 160 cards)
- 9-Pocket (20 pages, holds 360 cards)
- 12-Pocket (20 pages, holds 480 cards)
Exo-Tec® strap binders are available in one pocket capacity:
- 9-Pocket (20 pages, holds 360 cards)
Exo-Tec® Zip Binders are another popular option and are our flagship product. Whether you like bold colours such as neon orange or prefer a sleek black finish, there is a colour for everyone. The zip mechanism makes it easy to carefully open and close your binder, and all pockets are side-loading.
Front and rear covers are made from non-slip, water-resistant Exo-Tec® material, offering maximum protection to your cards.
Available in five pocket capacities:
- 4-Pocket (20 pages, holds 160 cards)
- 9-Pocket (20 pages, holds 360 cards)
- 12-Pocket (20 pages, holds 480 cards)
- 12-Pocket XL (26 pages, holds 624 cards)
- 16-Pocket (34 pages, holds 1,088 cards)
All binders come with a 12-month warranty from the date of purchase.
Sleeves
Sleeves are your cards’ first line of defence from dust, dirt, and debris. You should always place your card in a sleeve before putting it in your binder to ensure the utmost protection.
Soft Card Sleeves – also known as Penny Sleeves – are a great starting point for standard 63mm x 88mm TCG cards. Made from flexible polypropylene, they make sleeving your cards a quick and easy process.
Available in three quantities:
- 200 Cards
- 400 Cards
- 1,000 Cards
Card Holders
Toploaders are ideal for special cards that need extra protection. They fit 35pt, 55pt, 75pt, 100pt, and 130pt cards, and are made with thicker PVC for extra rigidity and protection. They are also available in different colours.
Available in three quantities:
- 25 pack
- 50 pack
- 100 pack
For cards that you would like to get graded, place a Semi-Rigid Card Holder over the Soft Card Sleeve for double the protection.
Available in two quantities:
- 500 Pack
- 100 Pack
So there you go! Card storage doesn’t have to be confusing.
