Top loaders are not good. They are made out of PVC. It is not archival. Sure, your penny sleeve it, but why use them. Do you ever wonder why the sleeves and card savers say "pvc free"? Use a penny sleeve and a card saver if you are serious about archival, or just a penny sleeve and a ringless zipper binder.
@@edboss36 in my opinion semi rigids with penny sleeves are better than top loaders with penny sleeves bc semi rigids have a better grip on the card and it wont fall out and potentially get damaged if you shake it unlike toploaders.
@@ihateturtles905 I like how semi rigids are thin. But people said it doesn’t protect the card because it can still bend. Another option is a high quality binder which seems to also protect for years
Thought you were going to say that beginning to store cards in a binder is all good until you start running out of space and can't easily reorganize. Have a binder with removable pages would allow us to have dedicated energy pages and be able to move types around without pulling them all out.
Yeah I saw that plus it has the handle which I wish was on the 3200 also but the 1600 would be awesome for going to a card show or to a trade night or something
That plastic bin looks perfect for my favorite Pokemon cards that I plan to keep in toploaders. Since I don’t buy cards all the time I might start out with the smaller 2-row bin that I saw. Cheaper on Amazon too.
They are a lot better for sure I have had some creases in some of my cards but if you want the ability to add and remove pages your right the D-Ring is the way to go
Thanks, I use the 151 binder for my trading binder, I use my vault x 2 by 2 binder for generation 1, and I think I use a couple more I can’t remember lol, love this video, hope u get loads of subscribers on UA-cam! 😊
I don’t hate them, for me they are a little too expensive but I love the idea of being able to look at all of my top loaded cards on a page instead of keeping them in a bin. I’m gonna do a little more research and maybe do a video comparing binders thanks for the question.
If you follow the link in the description and in the search just type 3200 card bin you will see all the colors and you can choose from there. It is really awesome I love it.
I was told a few weeks back that i shouldnt store cards in toploaders because of somethin called pvc/acid or whatever, is this legit?? Can someone debunk this so i can keep them in toploaders🙏🙏
Top loaders and penny sleeves used to be made from PVC and over time (50 years) they would degrade and damage your cards. Now top loaders and penny sleeves are made with polypropylene (PP) which won’t break down. You can verify what material the sleeve is made with using the recycling sign on the label. 3 is PVC and 5 is PP. I think you’d be hard pressed to find a name brand manufacturer that uses PVC these days.
The empty etb boxes work well if you use top loaders. Sleeve the card and put em in a top loader and it fits like a glove in an etb box.
Yeah no loose cards but if they are protected they are a nice “free” option

@@wizzblizzwhat about penny sleeve and put it inside semi-rigid? Is that better than top loader

Just make sure you have the D ring and your ok plus bcw has the side loaded pages you can use instead of the clear plastic ones
Thats blue box is amazing, great find and thanks for the info!
It really is I love that box. Thanks for watching :)
btw bcw also does a 1600 version as well. not bad

That's a great idea!
Great video needed a binder too!
It’s a great choice at a good price
The D shaped ringed binders won't damage your cards.

If you get creases then the binder is overloaded@@pokefamcollectors

Awesome vault x is a pretty good binder I’m using my 151 binder to complete the Kanto Pokédex with double rares or better just as a little project
@JesseDrops hi!
how do you feel about those Toploader-holding binders?
I don’t hate them, for me they are a little too expensive but I love the idea of being able to look at all of my top loaded cards on a page instead of keeping them in a bin. I’m gonna do a little more research and maybe do a video comparing binders thanks for the question.
@@pokefamcollectors thanks for taking the time! I've never seen them in person, but I'd imagine they might need a colossal binder
They are about the same size just less pages but make sure to keep an eye out for the video on it 😁
I got 2 of the D Dackett toploader binders from Amazon a couple weeks ago, and I'm loving them so far!
Glad I found this video. I'm not into Pokemon but I recently started collecting cards again when the Hololive OCG came out.
Glad I could help you out even if you’re not into Pokemon!
Does the coupon code expire ever like could i still use code pokefam for the card box
Yeah you can use as long as you want
Its super cool !Thx
I love the last box, but can we have a link for this box ? pls
If you follow the link in the description and in the search just type 3200 card bin you will see all the colors and you can choose from there. It is really awesome I love it.
I would have loved to use this company and order some products but no way am I paying $50 in shipping for 4 deck sleeve sets and an album.
Yeah that is one down side I can’t remember if it’s 50 or 100 to get free shipping
Nice box
I've been storing my cards wrong :(
You can always change now lol
I know right? 60 seconds in I was like dang I messed up, too. 😂
This was the helpful video I needed. Bless the Google Algorithm!
Glad it was helpful!
They ain't cheap though.
It’s comparable to vault x but it would be less if you use the promo code and the link 😉
noice
Thank you I’m glad you liked it hope it helped you out
