Again, I always keep things ordered by set number. Eventually I may put the playsets of 4 cards into penny sleeves just to keep things sorted more easily, but I don't have too much surplus yet to warrant it. Organize them however you like, but I keep one section for a playset of up to 4 of each card, and any copies above that go into a second 'trash/trade' section. Any extra cards then get stored in the ETB for the set they are from. I usually double sleeve a stack of cards and then put them into a tight deck box or under a stack of books for a week or so to squeeze out all the air before putting them into the binder.
Any foil card (Holos, parallels, URs, SRs, etc.) go into a KMC perfect fit upside down, and then into a black KMC Hyper Mat before going into the binder. Looser ones I just put to the side for storing non-foil cards and not for double sleeving. I've never had a KMC perfect fit that was too tight, maybe a little loose, but never tight that it could cause damage. As some have said, too tight a fit could damage a card, too loose and it wont fit for double sleeving. KMC's are pretty universally accepted as the best. Good protection, tight fit, not too much cost.
Basic cards go into a KMC perfect fit sleeve upside-down and then into the binder page. Not a big deal for me, as they are still very durable, but may be for others. Nice fit, though I noticed some scratches/imperfections in clarity on the batch I got. I prefer the black backing and only want to put 1 card in each pocket. I use Ultra pro's 18 pocket side loading card pages for storing the cards. After the booster page, I organize the cards by set number, starting with the core set followed by the parallel set. Then, each binder starts with a 4-pocket binder sheet to store one of each booster art for the set. Make sure you don't put anything in the back cover's pockets, as that could make an uneven surface for your cards to rest on if you leave the binders on their sides. In the inside pocket of the cover, I put the Trainer's Guide from the ETB of the set, fits nicely in the larger of the 2 pockets. I like these from Office Max/Depot because they open and close easily and have a pin-hole style of lock so it ensures alignment of the rings and minimizes catching pages. Be sure to use a D-ring style so the pages sit evenly on top of each other. After going through all of TCC's videos and lurking in this and the collection sub, this is the system I settled on: Figuring out the best way to keep stuff was daunting at first. I decided to start collecting with Steam Siege and Generations.
Is there a difference between kmc super and hyper mat?Īlso thanks in advance its pretty obvious that im new to this :D I was watching tolerian community college videos and it seems KMC and Dragon shields are good for protection but im not sure which specific product i should get i remember him saying that dragon shields are the strongest but they also get dirty easily and kmc supers seem like they work perfectly for double sleeving Id really appreciate any help or advice from more experienced people so far ive gathered that dragon shields kmc hyper mats and kmc supers seem to be the best sleeves out thereįirstly for my card collection which i wont be playing with im wondering whats the best way to store cards that are just for show currently i use a binder upright so that the pressure of the binder pages wont affect the cards on the bottom layersīut which brand of binder pages should i use?Īnd should i double sleeve the cards before putting them in the binder? if so should i use KMC Hyper mat or supers with the perfect fit?Īnd for my pokemon tcg playing cards which sleeves are best for medium-heavy usage and shuffling? im concerned about how easily they get dirty and how well they actually protect the cards inside (+ how often do they need to be replaced) Hi i have two main concerns regarding my pokemon cards and i want to preserve them as best i can
