    Great Video my friend! I was thinking of taking it a step further with my cards that have Top Loaders to put them into a Top Loader Binder. Just need to find where i can get one XD

    the top loader binders are awesome.... so much more joy flipping though collection, the look and feel is great🔥 - give it a try 🙏
    Note when sleeving the dragon shield you should only put that card in 2/3 of the card in, then slide the "closing" part in and use it to push the remaining of the card in... it's almost as fast as pennysleves....
    Personally (for my Master collection(s)) I have then in Dragon Shield and then in top loaders - and then in top loader binder (note that the binders 9 per page, is massive... like 50% bigger or so compared to a normal one but totally worth it)..
    For my trader binders and spare cards I simply use the dragon shield or perfect fit. easy, perfect and keeps all dust etc. away.
    And thanks a lot for sharing 🙏

    Yo nice video,
    I basically do the exact same thing as you. I also use extra team bags specifically made for the one touches but they are so loose and baggy I really hope someone brings out perfect fitts for them.
    Also whats the difference between premium toploaders ans normal toploaders?

    • @basesetmew
      @basesetmew  7 місяців тому +1

      The premium Toploaders are usually a bit more rigid and clearer compared to the standard ones. They’re also made from recycled plastic if that’s something that matters to you.

      The Pokemon Company doesn't confirm whether they are Acid / PVC free or not so I'd assume they are not and just grab some Ultra Pro / Dragon Shield / KMC Sleeves.

    For the magnetic card holder. Can you use the psa graded perfect sleeve in this video to protect it or I have to use different team bags?

    • @basesetmew
      @basesetmew  5 місяців тому +1

      The magnetic card holders are a bit smaller compared to PSA slabs (One Touch =108 x 72mm - PSA = 80 x 135mm)
      Graded card sleeves will still work though but Ultra Pro also makes sleeves specifically for their One Touch cases.

    Can expound further why you dont recommend ring binder?
    I just bought one for my Kayou collection. 😅
    Card-> Dragon Shield perfect fit-> Ultrapro platinum pocket sleeves-> generic D-ring binder (from school supplies, but the rings are not on the spine, so the pocket sleeves wont bend overtime).

    • @basesetmew
      @basesetmew  8 місяців тому +1

      I personally don't like Ring Binders because they are so big and bulky. They are a good way if you have a ton of cards and if you're working on a Master Set or Pokedex themed binder.
      As long as it's a D-Ring Binder you're good to go know!

    • @miksabella3456
      @miksabella3456 8 місяців тому +1

      @@basesetmew i see. The good thing for me if using ring binders is that the cards are layed flat. Coz the inner cards are slightly away from the spine. They dont convene into one junction when the front cover is closed. But i think this issue may not be present on established brands when they design the pages on their albums. Could be they consider the overall thickness + spacing for every pages.
      But yeah..they are bulky and need to take extra caution when carrying the binder.

    • @basesetmew
      @basesetmew  8 місяців тому

      The bluish tint is there although not as pronounced compared to the Ultra Pro Top Loaders. I think part of that is just because they're much thinner than Top Loaders.

      No, using a Penny Sleeve with a Toploader / Card Saver is completely fine and even the preferred way of storing your cards for certain collectors.

    • @basesetmew
      @basesetmew  6 місяців тому

      Yeah I'd still sleeve the card to avoid surface scratches & edge damage. I've not heard of cards being damaged by One-Touch cases, bending (to an extent) usually comes from moisture in the air.
      Just make sure you buy a One Touch case with 35pt (either from Ultra Pro or Ultimate Guard) as they are perfectly recessed for a Pokemon Card with a Perfect Fit Sleeve + they also have the "Diamond Corners" to protect the corners of the card.

    Really weird question. When you sleeve cards that are tight fit, have you ever slightly flexed the card, as ive tried not to do this with my cards but it happens when sleeving or putting them in the binder. I understand not doing it to much but is it 100% unnavoidable? My ocd is my worst enemy 🥲 try to keep everything perfect.

    • @basesetmew
      @basesetmew  2 місяці тому +1

      If the sleeves are a bit tight, I like to loosen them up by inserting 2 Energy cards first a few times. That usually does the trick.
