I keep all my DS and 3DS games loose in a small box (actually it's an old Pokémon card collector tin).
Never had any game break because of this. It's ok if they rattle around a little as long as the container is clean (not dusty or full
of sand or something)
I read you have more than one kid using the games. I'd take all the cartridges out of the cases, get a binder with some of the 9-card sheet clear protectors and stick a cart in each card slot. Then they don't have to be in any particular order because kids will be able to just turn the pages and see all the labels easily.
Getting punished for this sounds ridiculous to me, my parents gave us games, back the the original gameboy days, and it was on us to keep them sorted and safe and our fault if they got lost.
Edit: mobile spelling
Let's start with the big picture. You're going to want somewhere to keep your cards.
For the ones at home, something like this should do just fine. It keeps things mostly organized, is rather inexpensive, and will last. You can make inserts to help subdivide more if needed.
Next, you're going to want something to carry your cards in for the go. Many people just use backpacks or messenger bags, but there are [specialty bags] (http://www.amazon.com/Ultra-Pro-Zippered-Gaming-Corrugated/dp/B0009F3DQ4/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1419647218&sr=8-2&keywords=card+carrying+case) that you can purchase as well.
To keep you decks organized and protected while in the bag, [deck boxes] (http://www.amazon.com/Ultra-Pro-Boxes-Magic-Pokemon-YuGiOh/dp/B00EA9REK6/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1419647294&sr=8-3&keywords=deck+box) are the way to go. They make things nice and modular and will protect your cards even if you just have a normal backpack.
For your trades, if you go that route, a [binder] (http://www.walmart.com/ip/Universal-Round-Ring-Economy-Vinyl-View-Binder/24966030) and some [sleeve pages] (http://www.amazon.com/Ultra-Pro-Pocket-Page-Protectors/dp/B005HIOVOG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1419647392&sr=8-1&keywords=card+pages) should do fine.
Finally, your decks. Sleeves! Sleeves! Sleeves! and Sleeves! The cards in your decks are going to see the most use so you're going to want to protect them the best. I've found that [Dragon Shield] (http://www.dragonshield.com/) and [Ultra Pro] (http://www.ultrapro.com/division.php?d=g) sleeves are excellent for their value and use them on several of my decks. Cards in your deck are often your most powerful and you're going to want to keep them in the best shape possible.
Many people, myself included, will argue for getting a [Play Mat] (http://www.amazon.com/Ultra-Pro-84314-Grumpy-Play/dp/B00IT5GPZ2/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1419647676&sr=8-3&keywords=card+playmat) so that you sleeves won't get torn up as much and will last longer, but it's not absolutely essential.
Oh! I forgot dice! My group have found that dice are the easiest way to keep track of things like life totals, counters, and about everything else you need a number for. Having your own are absolutely essential, there's always someone you can borrow from, but they're a great thing to have around.
edit One thing I want to point out is that everything there can be customized to fit your particular style, so have fun! The way you carry and present your cards says as much about you as the cards themselves!
I'm on mobile, so forgive the utter lack of formatting. I was looking for a zipper, three ring binder, a spot of graph paper pads, and big enough pockets so I didn't have to squeeze things in and out. See below for what I got.

Great advice. All of this is right. I would add one more tip.
Buy 6 sheets of 16 pocket card holders — use these to organize the tech trees so everyone can see their tech pathways. It seriously reduces clutter and speeds comprehension.
You can also use them to organize planets by color to make colonization a breeze.
Also: costumes are fun. And the ambient space playlist on Spotify is pitch perfect. Mood really heightens the experience. We had a brilliant first play and have another game coming up in two weeks since everyone loved it so much. It is the most fun I’ve had with a board game.

Well, they make^[1] card binders^[2] and^[3] pages^[4] for upgrade cards and I made Sir Willibald's^[5] damage deck box^[6].
I personally don't like everything migrating to the larger card size. It's nice but half the card will just be tucked under pilot/other cards and I already complain about board space.
That's just me though.
When I first started collecting, I wanted something like what you're describing. I bought this. I liked it okay, but it became to expensive to keep using as my collection grew.
Well it won't work for the manuals but I keep mine in a binder using the trading card sleeves. You can fit 2 per slot, or 18 per page.
Edit: You can also fit one GB/GBC cart per slot if you have any of those to store as well.
Thank you! I got my binder here.

Looks great! Although I HIGHLY suggest investing in one of these! :)
https://www.amazon.com/Ultra-Pro-Pikachu-9-pocket-PRO-Binder/dp/B016QVA58I
This is the binder I use, would highly recommend.
https://www.amazon.com/12-Pocket-Z-Folio-Trading-Albums-Black/dp/B00VFXWBZS/ref=pd_nav_hcs_rp_t_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=B2XTS0EVG10BFTRNAR10
If you're wanting to make a bunch you could just print them out. I like Wyloch's Method for paper minis (using binder clips for the base as OP does above) which makes them pretty durable, though probably not as durable as OP's. You can store/transport them in a binder with trading card binder pages like this
There are also a lot simpler/quicker print'n play methods you can make or buy as well but generally not as durable.
Amazon is probably your best bet. These are the best card sheets available in my opinion, but it's unnecessary for, say, individual sets or master sets; I mostly use them for my binder of rare and valuable cards. These are probably the second best option and are good for any type of card, otherwise the regular ones found at Walmart and Target are fine; the only thing is they tend to sag at the bottom if the binder is standing vertically but it doesn't damage or affect the cards at all.
For binders, I haven't played around with too many different kinds, but I am very satisfied with the Avery brand. Here's the specific kind I use.
Because the binder is small, flimsy, cards easily slide out, pages tear easily, and the cards aren't very well protected. I would only recommend it to people that are super careful with their stuff, don't transport it much, and plan on using it purely to collect in a safe environment. Visually it looks good, and it technically does the job fine, but I wouldn't trust it to protect a expensive collection.
High durability Binder for $6: http://www.amazon.com/Wilson-Jones-Durable-Customizable-W86660/dp/B00CPXDSGS
9-Pocket Pages (50~100 count) cost anywhere from $6~$20 depending on the brand, count, quality, and style you go for. I personally recommend getting Ultra Pro side-loading pages with 9 slots on each side (18 slots per page): http://www.amazon.com/Ultra-Pro-3-Hole-Side-Load-Pocket/dp/B009WU5EG4/
I'm a fan of the BCW Z-Folio. Holds 480 cards each, pages are 3 rows x 4 columns. I ended up with ~6 of them to store my color-sorted EDH staples and they make a little WUBRG rainbow on my shelf.
Anyone have this?

Our campaign uses these: http://www.thegm.org/alpha/ printed on cardstock and then fitted into plastic card collector's pages. We have bought many packages of these: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005HIOVOG?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00 and fit them in 3-ring binders.
I play a bard, we have a cleric, and a ranger and they all serve really well. Sometimes the website doesn't have some of the spells, but there is a template to type up your own afaik.
I'm a total novice but I keep my thread in baseball card holders - basically segmented page protectors [like these.] (https://www.amazon.com/Ultra-Pro-Pocket-Silver-Protectors/dp/B005HIOVOG)
I use UltraPro American mini sized 16-slot top-loading pages and they work great; fits sleeved cards pretty much perfectly (they'll stick out of the top of the slot about 1mm, but it works fine and actually makes them easier to pull out. You can fit 2-3 sleeved cards in each pouch comfortably).
For the general terrain, victory, twist and deployment cards they go into ultra pro matte card sleeves.

Then get stored with the dice inside of this:

The individual warband miniature cards go into of these, so I can flick open a page for each game:

As for the ability cards, they also go into the folder, not in a slot but as it’s a zip folder they won’t fall out. I’ve used these as card sleeves for them.
Docsmagic.de 50 Premium 4 x 6... https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07H1LCFZZ?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
All I had to do was use a standard paper guillotine to shave about a millimetre from the top and bottom edges for them to fit fine.
I'm pretty happy with my storage so far so I'm happy to share.
Here's a link to a few pictures.

For the dice I went with 2 Craft Storage Boxes from Hobby Lobby.
http://shop.hobbylobby.com/products/craft-storage-box-666735/
The ones in that picture are a little different than the ones I got. In store they sell the flat bottom containers for $2 and a version with rounded bottoms for 3.
For the cards I'm using Ultra-Pro 18 slots card sheets in a 3 ring binder. I have all the cards sleeved and they fit perfectly (it even helped to fix the warping from the booster packs). You'll also notice that I can fit some card stock printed playmats in the binder as well and tuck the dice bags into the back of the binder.

For the Basic Action cards, Basic Action dice and Sidekick dice I fit them all into a standard Ultra Pro Deck Box (with the cards sleeved).
Do you own everything?
I use the Plano tackle box, DVD case, and Card binder storage solution and it works really well.
so another user posted this except for he linked the wrong storage box. Ill link the storage box that would work for it all. If you paint minis then i would suggest possibly felt/foam lining the plano storage boxes. This really is a great way to store the game.
Pie in the sky way to store everything: For map tiles: AmazonBasics Nylon CD/DVD Wallet (128 Capacity) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DIHVM36/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_xF79DSJicfLBu
For command cards/character and imperial decks: BCW PRO 16-POCKET PAGE - TOPLOAD - (20 CT. PACK) FOR X-WING AND ARMADA UPGRADES https://www.amazon.com/dp/B018OM5MGC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_jcKHoZQcRucSk
For agenda cards and mission cards: Ultra Pro 25/9 Pocket Page Protectors https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005HIOVOG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_UjgMybSN3F7RS
Putting them in a binder lets you more easily find a specific card they fit in these sheets even with card sleeves. I bought a nice binder that has slip sleeves in it so that I can store all the rules and skirmish/mission pamphlets along with the sleeved card sheets.The CD case holds any tile 4 spaces wide I keep the larger tiles separate and was able to fit every expansion in the CD case.
For the minis and everything else: Plano Angled Tackle System 732 https://www.amazon.com/Plano-732-Extreme-Tackle-System/dp/B009JG53S0/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1490804922&sr=8-2&keywords=plano+732
Don't forget collecting accessories like sleeves and binder pages, which are costs that add up. However, most collectors have a favorite brand and want their collection to match, so you'd probably have to ask her what she uses, which would ruin the surprise.
I personally store my special collections like Generations and XY Evolutions in these Ultra Pro Premium binders:
https://www.amazon.com/Ultra-Pro-Pikachu-9-pocket-PRO-Binder/dp/B016QVA58I
https://www.amazon.com/Ultra-Pro-Pokemon-Full-View-PRO-Binder/dp/B01LZNQMC9
One downside is that you can't add pages.
The Pokemon Center website also has cute binders, deck boxes, sleeves, and playmats. I haven't bought any of their tcg playing accessories, but the quality of their plush is excellent. For the past 2.5 years, shipping has been free for $50+; it's not a limited time promotion.
​
I bought a binder and filled with trading card sleeves (https://www.amazon.com/Ultra-Pro-Pocket-Silver-Protectors/dp/B005HIOVOG).
Wrap the receipt around the card. Just in case.
Baseball car sleeves: https://amazon.com/dp/B005HIOVOG/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_awdb_t1_FVL-Ab3DEDNTJ
Envelopes: https://amazon.com/dp/B002WF0RFO/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_awdo_t1_J0L-AbKA41J74
These and any old binder will do! I just germinated 3 year old seeds with a high success rate that were stored in this way. Just gotta make sure they're totally dry before storing
yea, no need to sleeve your whole collection. just sleeve decks as you make them. personally, i like flipping through my cards in a binder organized by set number rather than going through a bunch of cards in a box. i use these, two cards per pocket front and back.
for sleeves, i like the bcw colored double matte ones. you can find them on ebay for around 30$ for a 1000. i've been using bcw sleeves for the past two years and haven't had a single rip yet.
enjoy the game homie. once you get a feel of the game save this site on your phone. so useful.
Amazon have them but sadly the prices aren't great. I've came across the same problem as you're having too. For now I've ordered a 3-ring binder along with pocket pages and also some sleeves. The sleeves and pocket pages arrived a couple of days ago and the sleeves fit perfectly into the pocket pages. I'm still waiting on the binder but I'm looking forward to it. Least this'll keep my cards safe until I get my hands on albums.
Sorry I can't be of more help!
I double sleeve with these https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PDB51SM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Then I put it in a toploader. I only do this method for ex's and FA's
I used a similar box insert for quite some time, but eventually my collection grew too large and unweildy for it. I can't really remember when it became unfeasible, but it's probably worth it in the long run. It's also not overly conducive for deck building as all your cards will be in very large piles effectively.
I currently use a few copies of these: PRO-Binder (Dark Blue) https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B009NE4Z7I/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_NvNHybHJJKYQD
I have 5 at the moment, and that holds my entire collection (up to half way through mumbad) with space to spare, and I've organised it by set - one binder for unrotating corp and one for unrotating runner + genesis and spin runner. One for corp that are 'soon' to rotate, one other corp with data packs that aren't due to rotate in the near future. Last one for runner data packs not due to rotate.
I also highly recommend team covenant tokens
Use sports card album pages like these- just staple them on
They probably mean this.
They are probably talking about this one: https://www.amazon.com/StarCityGames-X4-Binder-Black/dp/B0184884F2
I have it and it has worked out great for me. A friend has BCW Z-folio and it looks decent. I think it comes down to whether you want one with a zipper or not. Mine is mainly for deckbuilding, so I didn't want a zipper.
BTW, the star city games X4 is made by Legion, which makes very good quality binders and their side loading pages are the best I've seen, with very good QC.
Ultimate Guard has some nice binders that should fit your cause, they hold 4 cards per row instead of 3, of which you'll be left with extra room to showcase any card that you think foils nicely or something. (http://www.amazon.com/QuadRow-12-Pocket-ZipFolio-XenoSkin-Black/dp/B00VBQJM1K/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1465180840&sr=8-2&keywords=ultimate+guard+zipfolio)
Or you can use that 360 card binder you have, and sleeve either the first or last card and tape the sleeve to the inside of either the front or back of the binder itself.
It would be cool if these cards could fit in binder sleeves. Here is what they look like:
https://www.amazon.ca/Ultra-Pro-Pocket-Page-Protectors/dp/B005HIOVOG/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1465044020&sr=8-4&keywords=card+binder+sleeves
So there's this and [this] (http://www.amazon.com/Ultra-Platinum-Pocket-American-Cards/dp/B01ARJ9AT0/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1465112061&sr=8-2&keywords=mini+american+card)
These Ultra Pro sleeves? I have them and really like them, although I've never used the FFG ones, so I can't give you a comparison there. And there are 3 reviews on that Amazon page, all positive.
I've heard coin envelopes work pretty well for resistors and small caps, you can label the top edge and line them up in a box.
I've seen that 9-pocket trading card organizers get good ratings for resistors as well. You could also try photo pages if you want some different pocket sizes. I'm assuming here, but I would guess they're the same size as the card organizers, so you can mix and match. Also keep in mind that this method is far from static-free, so I'd stay away from anything that would be sensitive to it.
You could get these sheets: https://www.amazon.com/Ultra-Pro-3-Hole-Side-Load-Pocket/dp/B009WU5EG4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1469986071&sr=8-1&keywords=ultra+pro+side+loading+pages
I use a Legion Games Dragon Hide Vault V2 deck box to transport 2 ready decks and tokens. My play set is stored in a Legion Dragon Hide 12 pocket binder, with a similar smaller one (4 pocket) for a trade binder. Extra commons/uncommons are just in one of the standard white 200 ct card boxes (one for each set).
Dice are kept in an IRIS Photo Keeper.

I do mine like LTJkrazyglue04, but without the alphabetical order. However, I have 2 binders. In one i have the factions pilot cards, then their faction restricted cards, then the next faction and so on. Then in the second binder I have all of the non faction restricted cards sorted by type and points. I use full size binders though as my collection quickly outgrew the capacity of the Ultimate Guard Binder you linked to. I use the standard sleeves and these: https://www.amazon.com/Ultra-Platinum-Pocket-American-Cards/dp/B01ARJ9AT0/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1486843453&sr=8-1-fkmr0&keywords=ultra+pro+binder+pages+16+pocket

As for binder, a normal 2" binder with sleeve pages does the trick nicely. Sleeved cards fit great in these.

> I'm wondering how I should organize, store, and use my cards.
For me, I went with BCW boxes for commons and uncommons, sorted by set, then color. UltraPro page protectors for 3 ring binder for my rares, foils, and mythics.
The Professor has a video on how to store your M:tG cards.
Man, take an Ultimate Guard portifolio, there's a lot of size and models but all of them are top quality and side loading (cards don't fall).
​
For expensive cards I would use nothing that has no zippers so even if the card slips out of the pocket it won't fall off the binder.
​
I personally use ZipFolios with 12 pockets.

I have been having the same issue trying to figure out how I want to store all my dials and tiles. I have noticed that if you want to do binders that the small base tiles fit into the old 1.0 Mini upgrade card sized pages, the medium fit into the Normal card sized pages and the large bases fit into the 4 Slot sheets. In terms of dials I have been reading that people have been using These sheets. I have been on the fence about using binders for these, but I already have a box of 100 mini upgrade sheets from 1.0 that I still have like 80% of because I bought it before 2.0 was announced thinking I would need them. I was considering doing card and coin boxes for them. I know Coin boxes are popular as well for dials and small bases, but for the medium and large I don't really have a solution to those right now. I know I can fit the large into Card boxes, but I don't know if there is a better solution for medium bases.
yes there are this one is my favorite, but it can get very pricey if you are doing one of each Pokemon or for all cards printed for that Pokemon.

When I started playing I bought a pack of 20 sets of dice.
After 2 years I now bring 2 sets to the table, with a few extra d6. That's a personal decision, because I find I need extra d6 more than anything else; You daughter night need multiple of other dice depending what character she plays. But overall, having 2 of every dice is plenty I think.
Having a box to keep and roll them in is an excellent idea. Dice boxes are a really useful addition to your DND setup. I made my own, but there are plenty of companies out there who make nice boxes too. Wyrmwood are what I would aspire to make my boxes like... Need a bit more practice and some different tools though lol.
Some other gift ideas though, and this is all stuff I use or have:
D&D books - Player's Handbook, Xanathars Guide, Dungeon Masters Guide, Sword Coast Adventurers Guide to name a few. Depends whether she's more of a player or wants to run sessions which ones you should get.
Spell or item cards - Something like this could be useful. If you know what class her character is you could get a specific set, or a general pack. I use them with a playing card folder to keep them all together.
Pins and stickers - there's loads of people who make enamel pins and stuff for D&D, great for customising a bag or something.
3D miniatures - Hero Forge let's you make your character and you can either download the file to print yourself, or get them to print it for you. Might need to get some paints to go along with this one.
Custom Character Sheets - Alright, so I actually make these, so it's a bit if a self plug, but I think they're still a great gift. A5 Character Sheet Booklet. It's your standard D&D character sheet in an A5 booklet format with a few extra bits added. Keeps everything nice and tidy, and protects the sheet from damage without having to faff about with a bigger A4 folder.
Mechanical Pencils - not much of a gift I guess, but hot damn, it is frustrating to have to sharpen your pencil at the table. Just get a mechanical one. I use one of these for my graphic design work and bought a second one to keep with my D&D stuff, but any mechanical pencil will do.
I use this for Pilot Cards and all the Upgrades.

This works well for me, and I keep all my Game night stuff in a box by Crafted Storage ( Asteroids, Deck, builds and ships etc )
-R
I currently have mine in a Nyan Cat deck box that I picked up years ago during a Friday Night Magic. Of course, I have more cards than the box can hold now lol! So I ordered a customized binder and I'm waiting for it to arrive in the mail this week!
Once it gets here I'm planning on using the Ultra Pro binder pages and sorting them.. somehow! I was thinking of doing it numerically, but it would be easier to find a specific card if they were sorted alphabetically.
It's too bad I'm not interested in the Welcome Amiibo series because the sideways cards would fit my side loading deck box perfectly..
The 9 pocket binders are also worth considering if you aren't trying to fit it into a game box. Fits into a backpack well.
Player cards - BCW Z-folio binder
Encounter decks - Hobby Lobby artist box (black) w/ broken token artist box organizer that I will paint black
The artist box is what is used for LotR LCG encounter decks and, though it probably won't be needed for this block of expansions, it will be needed later. The Arkham Horror core set box with the Go7Gaming insert just will work short term but won't cut it later except for possibly carrying decks and tokens.
Also, there are these cool little distressed trunk boxes that are on sale for $2 a piece right now. They are just large enough for each one to carry all of a single type of tokens from 2 base sets. It is large enough to hold, but isn't large enough to randomize the chaos tokens. A major pro is that there is a different color trunk for each token - tan (resource), red (health), blue (sanity), black (chaos), and wood brown (clue/doom). They also stay open so you can see what is in each one during play.
You can see me filling out some binders in this way here:
https://youtu.be/-2CTiWGkeS8?t=5m54s
I use the following products:
The binders come in 2 and 3 inch sizes as well, I believe. Regardless of what binder you use, I cannot speak highly enough of how perfectly the KMC sleeves fit in the Ultra Pro sheets. Definitely give it a shot.
Also, if you want to see a more detailed review of the binder itself, I look at it here:
https://youtu.be/6eyj8xvqROE?t=3m32s
i would start by advising some QoL adjustments to his spell sheet - i myself, ESPECIALLY for classes like clerics which have their full spell list, like to color-code things that i can do on a bonus action and/or that take concentration, and ofc mark off anything that's domain, from a feat, from a race, etc so i don't confuse myself when prepping my shit. that on its own can clear up a lot. if i, say, use my action to toll the dead, i'll take a quick scan through my spell sheet, look for the blue dots i used to mark off bonus actions, and maybe throw out a healing word or spiritual weapon. it can also help to make an additional, filtered list of actions, bonus actions, etc that you use commonly - going through your entire spell sheet and character sheet can be overwhelming, so having a condensed list of everything you use frequently in one place can be handy.
i also went ahead and invested in spell cards and card pages to keep them in - having them as a quick reference is handy, i just keep them in the same binder i keep my sheets in and flip to them when i need to make some decisions.
i will say, the main thing that keeps my cleric so busy in combat is his personality. he's VERY protective, always concerned about his party members, so when i play him in combat, i'm usually trying frantically to make the most of my turn to that effect. i'll use sanctuary on the utility-focused bard and use my movement to get in front of everyone to take hits, or healing word the barbarian while using my action to pry the monk out of a monster's grip, to use some examples from my last session. obviously that kind of thing is gonna differ from character to character, but he could try, if he hasn't already, thinking about what specifically his character wants to accomplish in the average combat, and from there, think every turn about how to best use the tools available to achieve that goal.
Yes! I use ultra pro pages from Amazon.
I have had over the years several different ways, but the one I use today consists of several portfolio books/binders, three ring binders and ultra pro 9 card pages and two 4k card boxes.
I no longer maintain a trade binder. I did when I was younger and played more and frequently visited FNM and game nights. But now that I have moved in to more of a collector role I only play with close friends maybe once a month, so I don't really trade anymore (not sure if the kids still do these days). My trade binder disappeared when I really embraced selling off unnecessary items and started using buylists almost exclusively.
Since these days I do more buying of collections and selling to fund my own collecting I have a great deal of extra boxes, 5k card storage boxes and binders. These are just to organize the sales. Most of the time I sell them with the bulk and replenish with each purchase. From the collections over the years I've acquired a great deal of starter boxes, deck boxes, dividers, stickers, foam inserts, etc that I use in my own collection and to help organize the purchases. These have been some of the most interesting finds, just seeing what other people use to organize is interesting.
I've also purchased shelving from Home Depot to store my collection and the purchases I have going on. Each shelf is dedicated to shipping materials, empty boxes, my stuff or a purchase.
What I see mostly from the collections I acquire is that most use three ring binders for rares/mythics and either separate by color or just leave it to utter chaos (the latter being the worst as its usually shoes boxes and random plastic tubes full, which damage cards).
Maybe something like this:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B002G419N0?pc_redir=1414304277&robot_redir=1
You might have to buy the filler though, not sure
Edit: yeah you will but they sell them too!
I was incredibly happy with this 4x3 binder:

I'm still using ziplock bags for dice storage, unfortunately, but I travel with UltraPro deck boxes and just ordered this for two deck travel:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00TGKEWZO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Ultra Pro sheets are definitely cheaper too. You can buy 100 for $20. I also have a massive 4 inch 3-ring binder that holds all the pilot and upgrade cards I am not currently using.
If you want to carry around only the upgrades that you play with then /u/neexneex has a good option. If you want something cheap and efficient to store your extra cards then my way works just fine.
I would use https://www.amazon.com/QuadRow-12-Pocket-ZipFolio-XenoSkin-Black/dp/B00VBQJM1K/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1483718689&sr=8-2&keywords=ultimate+guard+4+row
The "Tolarian Community College" got many examples of good ones. Just check his Youtube Channel
Can't see your imgur link at work but you basically have two types of binder sleeve pages:

I tried switching to binders, got nice ultra pro platinum sheets and ultra pro 3-ring binders (found some space themed ones somewhere)
Nope! Takes up way too much space and too slow to access. Went straight back to the cardboard boxes with labeled tab dividers.
If you still want to do it, I'd be willing to sell you mine cheap if shipping costs are reasonable
I only take them out with me when I'm actually going to liquidate them. After I liquidate, I keep the receipt and VGC (and MO if I liquidated that route) and put them all together in this guy.
Here is what I bought for the upgrade cards:
Ultra PRO Platinum 16 Pocket Platinum Mini American Cards, 41mm x 63mm, Clear
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01ARJ9AT0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_cznIxbB8TX3CQ
And this is what I bought for the Pilot cards:
Ultra Pro 9-Pocket Trading Card Pages - Platinum Series (100 Pages) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00095M5DQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_4znIxb6VJQJE9
I'm going to echo this (it's spot-on as others have said) and say the KMC Hyper Mats and KMC Perfect Fits is a good combination. It's the only one I use and has yet to let me down. Not only are they really clear, they're also durable and make a really good seal. Practically airtight when you first use them. I've spilled water near my black on black Jace VP (nearly had a heart attack since that's my most valuable card) and this combination of sleeves made it perfectly dry. Not only that, I've had cards inside this combination of sleeves for a few months and absolutely no warping has happened to my foils (I've also stored my foils in deck boxes with silica packs, so that might also be the reason why they have yet to warp). Just adding to this testimony. Would recommend to anyone.
Don't just listen to us, the Professor has verified this in the past. I'm not too sure if much has changed since then. My sleeves have been holding up really well for nearly 4 months, but that's just anecdotal.
Pressing the air out of the sleeves does wonders. It basically creates a vacuum seal around the card. It's nice.
I haven't tried Dragon Shields yet, but I might do so for the upcoming prerelease. They also seem like a good alternative.
Edit: if you want to view both sides of the card, KMC also offers clear variants. Haven't tried them, but it's a nice little kit if you're into viewing your entire card from both sides. It's worth a shot. I don't know how dirty those will get, but if they're anything like their opaque cousins, they'll have pretty good viewing with minimal surface scratches to the sleeves if used lightly and high durability.
With regards to darker cards, I've double sleeved my SCC '15 promo Planeswalkers with the KMC Hyper Mat + Perfect Fit combo and visibility is excellent (even after plying them various times in some of my decks), which is pretty good considering how dark those cards are. Would recommend if you're looking into sleeving some darker cards.
Side note for OP: If you'd like, I can PM you some pictures of my SCC cards all sleeved up using this combo for reference. The sleeves are lightly used so you can see how wear and tear looks with this combo. Let me know if you'd want that and I'll deliver later.
These are really nice. They are a bit too bulky to bring in a backpack, but if you are collecting full sets for display they work really well. It might be on the expensive side for just random commons and uncommons vs higher value cards.

I use the spell cards, plus a binder that contains these card sheets. They are in order of the spell level, then alphabetized.
In the front of said binder, I keep another few pages with my cantrips, spells given to me by the Domain, and the spells I've chosen for the day. These pages are separated by a page divider for easy flipping.
On a separate sheet of paper, in or out of the binder, contains my play session's notes. in these notes will be tallies of how many times I've used my CD, spells slots, and other abilities. It sounds like a lot, but once you're done setting up you'll never really lose track of your spell counts, etc., so long as you aren't too drunk.
I am going to buy: Ultimate Guard 9 Pocket XenoSkin Zipfolio https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00P9FIYFO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_QdopDbKACZFP7
The listing above doesn't do it justice, but some YouTube videos convinced me. I'm super excited to move away from a three ring binder
I believe it's [this one] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00VBQJM1K/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_IW8YAbBNMWCEK) except in navy blue. It was part of a huge lot I recently bought.
It's the legion 3 x 4 https://www.amazon.com/Binder-Pocket-Dragon-Hide-Black/dp/B01IQHP3AU/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1495694378&sr=8-5&keywords=legion+12+pocket
Rather than looking at the $25-$50 binders, for a game like this you should probably just be looking at sheets that will go into a regular binder.
I got mine from CoolStuffInc, but apparently you can find them for pretty cheap on Amazon (surprise). I bought Ultimate Guard pages in Black, though it seems if you don't care about color others might be cheaper.
There are other brands, but basically, you're looking at a up to ~$10 for 10 pages and a binder (go D-Ring) that is also inexpensive. As far as binders, 1.5" seems like the right size at the moment but I wouldn't be surprised if by the end of Carcosa a 2" makes more sense.
For what it's worth, with three core sets and one of each expansion/mythos to date, I am able to fit most classes onto 2 pages each, being willing to put 4 cards into one sleeve. It's one fully utilized page front-and-back for level 0 cards, level 1 cards take up one page but don't fill it in, and I skip to a new page with each class. Seeker currently takes up 3 pages because their level 0 cards take up just over the 18 slots one page offers, Dr. Milan has his own page in my binder at the moment. Haha
There's also a page that fits investigator cards, if that tickles your fancy. And I bought regular page sleeves for the rules booklets and campaign guides. I need to print the Dunwich Campaign PDF up to add to the collection, now that they released that.
Whether it's worth it or not? Seeing Amazon's low prices I feel like I might have overpaid, but it's a satisfying reminder of the time I played CCGs having a binder of cards that I can build my deck from. I can definitely see looking at it as a luxury compared to cardboard boxes like others are saying.
Commons aren't really binderable in the first place. I wouldn't bother with them. Side-loading sheets would definitely be the way to go if you can't keep your binder right side up consistently.
I... just have them all in a pile that I move around. Right now it's on my nightstand! Can't you just get a sleeve like this and put it in a binder? You could even get dividers to organize the series/etc. I kind of want to do this, but I don't want to give myself an excuse to buy more amiibo cards!
This is the one I have:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Ultimate-Guard-American-9-Pocket-FlexXfolio/dp/B019GQ9EPA
amazon has master collection volume 1 for $200 https://www.amazon.com/Yu-Gi-Oh-Master-Collection-Volume-1/dp/B000639KYS
​
i can't find anything on master collection volume 2 though, but i'd imagine it's likely in the same price range as volume 1.
I use this binder. It has pockets that can handle all the paperwork, manuals, character sheets, etc.
I use these for the small map pieces They go in the binder.
I use these for larger map pieces. They also go in the binder.
All dice, tokens, and cards go in this box.
I ordered the box inserts for all the boxes from these guys. That covers all the minis except for the largest stuff (AT-STs), which got a case from them instead.
How valuable are we talking here? I tend to do sleeves in a nice binder for my really valuable cards, perfect fits in a long box for my playable common/uncommons, foils, etc. Unsleeved in a long box for bulk rares. Assorted commons and uncommons in the fat pack box that matches their set symbol.
I have one of these that I really like: https://www.amazon.com/12-Pocket-Z-Folio-Trading-Albums-Black/dp/B00VFXWBZS/ref=sr_1_1

How about a drone? Or a couple of tickets to a nerdy convention? Accessories or upgrade for his computer? Does he have his own place? Maybe a Google Home or Amazon Echo?
There is a faux leather on Amazon (Yellow with Pikachu and red/white pokeball) that holds 360 cards
Ultra Pro Pikachu 9-pocket Premium PRO-Binder for Pokmon https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B016QVA58I/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_qQnPDbPSN3HA5
I just use a 4 or 3 ringed binder and use these
https://www.amazon.com/Ultra-Pro-Pocket-Page-Protectors/dp/B005HIOVOG/ref=sr_1_1?s=industrial&ie=UTF8&qid=1502458540&sr=1-1&keywords=trading+card+folder+inserts
I back to back cards, so you get essentially 6 different cards per insert. I also use the ultra pro soft sleeves when in folder.
I just have them in serial order. 1 folder for Opus 1, 1 folder for Opus 2 etc
If you don't care about the outside design, any basic binder should work with your basic trading/collectible card binder sheets. Like these for example.
Any retailer or hobby shop that carry Magic/Yu-Gi-Oh!/Pokemon/MLP or Baseball cards should have them in stock as well.
I’d say a folder for the ones that will fit. For the smaller ones you could do some [Binder Pocket Protectors] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005HIOVOG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_IcsSAbG8D3Y84) and have them easily accessed and separated in a binder. For the ones that are huge, I have no idea as I’m sure you don’t want to fold them up
I completely understand. It is a lot of money to drop just based on what I say. I know that the pictures I have posted on eBay do not really show everything. I can send you more pictures if you like. How much lower are you talking?
btw this is what I was referring to, http://www.amazon.com/Yu-Gi-Oh-Master-Collection-Volume-1/dp/B000639KYS
I have two of them with all of the cards that It comes with. Those are actually pictured on eBay.
Using trading card sheets, I was finally able to organize my stamping plates. They hold the small standard round plates with room to spare, they will even hold some of my larger plates! I found that buying these and sticking them in a binder was way more cost effective than buying those little Pueen holders.
Edit: these are the card holders I used
Here is a post I made earlier about getting into the game.

=============
>For purchasing cards, I recommend buying a booster box and an elite trainer box for each new set that comes out then purchase singles. An elite trainer box also gives 5 of each Energy type and burn and poison markers as well as nice dice! One for flipping and the others for keeping track of damage They're made of acrylic, not cheaper cardboard that come with preconstructed decks.

Buy a white long box at your FLGS for a couple bux, sleeve all the encounter cards and put them in there.
Buy Ultra pro Black pages (https://www.amazon.com/18-Pocket-Platinum-Side-Black-Background/dp/B009WU5EG4) and put your player cards in a binder with them.

Local shop happens to sell them for the same price as the platinum ones so check your store and see if they carry and how much they charge. The black background makes the cards pop more and you wont see imperfections of the back of cards if you put 2 per page.
I put them in this in card # order with the "locked" cards face down and the "unlocked" cards face up. https://www.amazon.com/Flexxfolio-American-Pocket-Sleeves-Black/dp/B019GQ9EPA/ref=sr_1_2?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1526947950&sr=1-2&keywords=ultimate+guard+american+mini&refinements=p_89%3AUltimate+Guard

I have all my cards double sleeved with kmc perfect fits inside of kmc hyper mattes.
Characters are (currently) in FFG sleeves (rey for hero, kylo for villain) and those fit just fine as well
To staart with i used bits and bobs cases from B&m,
http://www.bmstores.co.uk/products/kingmann-20-compartment-multi-purpose-organiser-13-309510
they have room for ships and dials in each comparment and can carry rulers in the bottom, then i bought an american mini 9 square folder from amazon.co.uk
https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/Outlet/Ultimate-Guard-Mini-American-Pocket-FlexXfolio-Black/B019GQ9EPA
for my upgrade cards and a basic deck box for my pilot cards, then i bought a small faherr bag for my firespray. all carryed in a regular backpack.
As a wizard player, I use this and a 3 ring binder. I have my cantrips on the first page, and my prepared spells on the next 2. It's super convenient.
I’ve had success with these , fitting up to 13 in a single slot, sleeved.
Needed two of these to carry them all.
1x Stanley Organizer
2x BCW Z-Folio 12-Pocket Albums [1 for AWK, 1 for SoR]
2x Sets of 5 Ultra Pro Deck Boxes
The deck boxes aren't all for SWD, I have some Pokemon as well. I'm probably going to end up buying some of the cheap BCW card boxes to store all my duplicates / bulk in as it's easier than throwing them in like 4 deck boxes.
It kind of sucks to lug the stuff around so I am looking into either getting a rolling backpack or tool holder to put everything in or just like a duffle bag to throw it all in.
While you may not be pricing the cards, using the pricing guide on tcgplayer.com is a good place to start organizing specific sets. It can also give you a general market value for all conditions as you are organizing. If you see the market value on a specific card is much higher than others in the set, you should consider protecting that one with penny and hard sleeves(or depending on the card, perhaps more than that). If you are going to store your cards in binders, i recommend these sleeves for inside sleeves and these sleeves for the outside soft sleeve prior to putting in a binder like this or like this.
I did not sleeve them but store them in binders using these pages.

I use the ubiquitous 3x3 card holders for my pilots. Sorted by what ship, lowest to highest PS then by wave. Right now all 3 factions are in one binder. But im planning to get seperate binders.

Upgrade cards are in these 10 business card holder pages. Theyre sorted by type then alphabetically. It holds them alright but the material is really slick so they kinda slide a bit.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NLPD0W6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
For all the tokens and dials I use plano cases.
Just search for "mini american" card binder. Below are a couple of example links for different locations.
US
UK
I have one of those also, it works great for the tokens and cards. The small containers fit the upgrade cards, the larger containers fit the big cards, so far the only thing that doesn't fit are the movement and range pieces. The best part of that the little containers come out. When we play we just take out the shield, focus, evade and stress cups so the tokens aren't floating around loose on the table. I'm going to move the cards over to a binder as soon as I get the binder sheets that hold the upgrade cards.
For the models, bases and dials I purchased one of these: Plano Double Cover Two Sided Tackle Organizer. It fits everything I have, very well. The bases, movement and range finder all fit in the top part, the smaller ships and a few of the larger ships fit in the bottom. I don't think it will fit the Ghost, and I'm not sure what I'm going to do about that ship.
Finally I bought a bunch of single felt sheets in the craft area at Wal-Mart, I cut the felt into strips and use it as a liner for each of the compartments that holds a ship. I'm not sure if will really help that much much but it makes me feel better. For big ships like the Decimator and Falcon I just wrapped them in a piece of felt.
I use this, it holds playsets of your valuable cards, doesn't have rings to fuck your cards up and has a stiff front unlike the ultra pro binders which can bend and damage your cards.
Now to be clear, binders, while convenient for accessing your cards are not ideal for keeping them in perfect condition. Sleeved and in a box such as an elite trainer box or a BCW box is the ideal way to prevent any damage to your cards.
As for commons and uncommons storing them unsleeved in a BCW 4 or 5 row is more than sufficient since you will accumulate a large amount of them over time.
Someone else in the thread mentioned the Ultimate Guard ZipFolio which is honestly probably the best binder out there, im just not interested in moving all of my cards from the binders they are currently in.
