(Part 3) Top products from r/pkmntcgcollections

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.

Just preference on what you like. I like being able to see both sides of the card so I use regular Ultra Pro penny sleeves on my cards. I've been slowly finding my old collection of Pokemon and a lot of the top loaders have yellowed some but the cards inside the sleeves are fine. This an ok deal on penny sleeves and Top Loaders I've got before: https://www.amazon.com/3x4-Top-Loaders-Ultra-Pro/dp/B002K2MNGK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1510800635&sr=8-1&keywords=3x4+Top+Loaders+100+ct+by+Ultra+Pro+-+Plus+100+Free+Card+Sleeve+Promo+Pack+%281+Pack%29

Recently found out about these Pro-Fit sleeves that fit Pokemon cards perfectly and have been using these for cards that I put in binder pages.

The solid back colored sleeves to me look alright if you are playing with the cards.

Ultra pro mini fit stackable cases. A standard sized card sleeved with a KMC perfect fit inner sleeve fits perfectly inside it without damaging anything. It doesnt fit standard sized sleeves though.

Its a nice cheap display option for when magnet/screw snap fit cases are too expensive or bulky. It fits in a deck box as well!

Here's the link on Amazon!

It's pretty pricey at around 60 bucks, but the UV protection, ease of use, and pleasant aesthetic make it a totally worthwhile purchace if you would wanna do something similar!

its honestly very hard to say

on one hand, no one really knows how much of this set pokemon inc plans on printing, they could chose to under-stock it for its lifespan to keep the value of the cards high

on the other hand, like i said above you can look at hidden fates as if they plan on doing the same pattern as Shining Legends and Dragon Majesty. If you look at the Dragon Majesty Ultra Box, its still available, and its currently selling at 75% of its retail price from a year ago

Thank you! It has been a long process lol
For the dividers, I use the BCW trading card dividers. I got them here:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B005LIF20O/ref=ppx_yo_mob_b_inactive_ship_o0_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1&th=1
I then used a label maker with a small clear tape to stick on them.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005J143L2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_rKmPBbW3N5BR5

Bigger than 3x4 and my favorite top loaders to use. So 3x4 actually sounds small to me lol

Yah I was really happy to get that Deoxys card simply because of how great it looks. Including the second box, I find it weird that I actually got more FA than regulars. Not to mention the very weird fact that I did not get a single ace spec card.

As for the card sleeves, I just used this. I don't believe in getting the high quality stuff since I am more of a collector and don't really play.

well, because of the size. Often players use the "perfect sleeves", the ones you were looking at 64 x 89mm, inside your "standard sized" card sleeves like these

The "penny sleeves" are too big and cause bulging in the standard sleeve.

This is what I'm looking at getting at the mo. The main downside is that you get sent 3 colours randomly and they're all a bit bright haha.

I just use these.

They're pretty cheap and you get 100 for $10.
Then I store my cards in a 2 ring binder with pages that can hold toploaders.

What you can do as an alternative to the official toploader binder is buy pages with roughly 3" x 4" pockets like these. Binder size would be a bit smaller though at 6" x 8" since the pages are smaller than your typical 9 pocket normal card pages. I've tried these and toploaders fit snugly and securely. Ultra pro has binder pages at more normal dimensions of roughly 8x11 but the pockets may not be as snug.

The sleeves matter more than the binder, I'd suggest an Ultra Pro Pro-Binder. Pretty much the same as a Monster Binder, but a helluva lot cheaper! Monster binders are $30+.

a google search would answer this

Should give a general idea of card market value and he cost for packs/booster boxes (36 packs)

I use these binders for my master sets, you will find 20 pages of 9 cards (360 total) is more than enough to hold one full master set.
