Just an fyi for anyone reading the comments: the ultrapro 4-pocket is actually smaller than bcw so while i prefer card house if bc of availability purposes u can't, def get bcw as they're basically same quality but just a liiiiitle bigger and sometimes that makes a huge difference
Wow I've watched so many what to buy for kpop collection videos but none of them have actually explained anything. Thank you so much I feel so educated!
Haha this isn't really related to your video but thank you sooo much for posting this, even though I don't really collect photo cards/any K-pop items in general. I was feeling really horrible before watching your video, your voice really made me calm down and made me feel much better. Thanks so much :)
Wooow, What kind of pages u use for the photocards? I mean I got the dimension dilemma and u know that the album bring like an horizontal photo and one of those can rip so, What pages would you recommend for this type of photocards?
Hello I really like IU and I finally decided I want to collect her albums and merch. Do you have any tips on how to find things and how to tell they’re legit thanks.
Hi! To tell if items are legit, all I can say is be really careful and compare with pictures in templates and lists of photocards online to make sure it's official merch and not a fanmade good. I've been lucky and never accidentally purchased a fake item so I don't think it's a huge problem with IU stuff, but always be careful and make sure the seller posted good quality photos! Finding things with IU can be difficult sometimes, especially her older stuff, but for newer stuff it's not the worst! When you're looking for something just be diligent and check every place you can - most stuff is easiest to find on Mercari Japan and eBay, but if I can't find it I'll check Mercari US, Yahoo Japan Auctions, even depop sometimes. You never know where you might find something! If you have any more questions feel free to message me on Instagram, I linked my account in the description :)
They are! So I don't use another sleeve on them first. I'm actually gonna do a video soon about acid/pvc free sleeves and how you can tell and all that
Hi, can you tell me where you got the 6 pocket and 4 pocket pages? I know you said they're from guardhouse shield but I can't find them on their website or anywhere online. Thank you so much!
Wow I just had the hardest time finding them too. I finally found some from this seller - I have actually used this seller before and haven't had any problems. They have other listings in their shop for different amounts (so you can buy 5 or 50 pages in one go instead of 10 if you want) so just check their shop if you want that instead. www.ebay.com/itm/142696516920?hash=item2139600d38:g:ubMAAOxyVaBSzs8C www.ebay.com/itm/362904488462?hash=item547ecb0a0e:g:EfEAAOxy4dNSzswc
hm I can't find them right now but I use these equally as often and they are the same! www.ebay.com/itm/203015732156?hash=item2f44ae3bbc:g:aREAAOxyVLNS9NNV
I store them standing up! But actually I was thinking of switching to laying them flat because I have a few binders that won't stand up straight lately because they're too heavy. I'm filming an album collection tour tomorrow and I was gonna talk about it in that video
It just depends on how much you need to store in them! If you don't have a lot 1 or 1.5 inch is fine. If you're storing a lot my personal favorite binder size is 2 inch. Larger than 2 inch I think the binder gets too bulky and heavy
As a newbie in collecting kpop pcs, this review has been super helpful! I liked Ultrapro but I was bothered by the difference in size of the pages depending on the pockets. So I'll probably go with Guard House. :) EDIT: Unfortunately Guardhouse sheet is not as easily available as UltraPro in our country. 🥲

That's very good to know, I haven't had UltraPro 4 pockets in a long time so I forgot about that. Thanks for clarifying!
this is the most detailed pocket page comparison i've seen, thank you!

The best sharing ever! Thank you!

Best video ever
Really good video TBH. I just have a question. What are your opinion on 6 ringed binders and would you recamened them over D-ringed binders?
Your video has been so helpful! Thank you. :)

When you use Holo sleeves, do you put a sleeve on the pc before putting it in the Holo sleeve? Or are acid and pvc free?
They are! So I don't use another sleeve on them first. I'm actually gonna do a video soon about acid/pvc free sleeves and how you can tell and all that

Hi! Quick question, do you lay your binders flat or just standing?
I store them standing up! But actually I was thinking of switching to laying them flat because I have a few binders that won't stand up straight lately because they're too heavy. I'm filming an album collection tour tomorrow and I was gonna talk about it in that video
Thank you for the reply! I'll definitely watch that video once you upload it :)
What size are the d ring binders? 1 inch or is bigger better?
It just depends on how much you need to store in them! If you don't have a lot 1 or 1.5 inch is fine. If you're storing a lot my personal favorite binder size is 2 inch. Larger than 2 inch I think the binder gets too bulky and heavy
