thanks a mountain for still having this video on the channel. checking it out in 2020 because the popularity of it all exploding adn the bad year really had me hit with just a tsunami of nostalgia and i realized i just had most of my stuff pack up in binders or boxes and tubs. safe from dust and pets but not really strong for a longer term colelction adn id love to protect things that might be worth it. too bad PSA or any grading is like 4-8 months+ for economical grading send outs for normals like me that maybe have the best card in the colelction only at like psa 7 or 8 but want to just put some memories in capsulse. preaty nice knowing whats potentialy good. though i do realize that pokemon cards are a different standard than yugioh and that ill ahve to take care of both colelctions differently

[@Qwazrex]

The smaller sleeve was SOOOOO satisfying to watch the card go into.

[@shua_ae]

Thanks Leonhart! I put my Shiny Kyurem EX in a Pokémon sleeve and then in a bigger penny sleeve, since I don’t have any Toploaders.

[@BoosterBijuu]

I’m a new collector and new to PTCG in general! This was a huge help!! Thank you!

[@BanKseSports]

Just starting my collection again and this was super helpful, great work, subbed!

[@MiguelGarcia-vj7oo]

For sealed booster packs, you can use ultra pro tarrot card game sleeves. English booster packs fit flush due to the large size of the sleeves. If you collect vintage sealed topps pokemon boosters they will not fit. Use mayday games extra large penny sleeves.

[@shinigami117s8]

I recommend top loaders or double sleeves The only Pokémon cards that survived water from my house fire were those. Single sleeve took water in like crazy

[@carlsimms5233]

Awesome video! Ive been trying to find some other ways to store cards and packs besides the pokemon sleeves from the elite box and binders with removable pages but that pokeball binder seems super sturdy and reasonably priced also now that i know psa sleeves work for packs im so happy.

[@ShikyoStars]

Aye this actually helped,I just ordered a bunch of ex and gx cards and I didn’t have anywhere to put them,so I bought a binder,I didn’t know how safe they would be so I looked up some tutorials and your video popped up

[@MiguelGarcia-vj7oo]

For storage containers you can use PLANO ammo boxes. Their olive green, air tight rubber sealed, perfect demmisions for standing boosters, or protected cards, and are about $4 dollars at your local walmart sporting sections. Their olive green in color. This is probably more suitable for the adult collector.

[@Nova04758]

Always watch you when I need Pokémon related tips

[@randispoling]

Welllllll..... Technically, you put the card in upside down in the perfect fit, then put the perfect fit, open end first into a normal sleeve so the card isnt upside down when playing, and protects from dust and some moisture.

[@sameeansari9111]

Why did I not think of putting my cards in the ETB. This was a major help. Finally found a use for all those ETBs I bought. :D

[@ellamick77]

Kinda funny u released this on a day I'm organising a friends collection

[@PhoenixLaw92]

I mainly come from playing Magic the Gathering and I've found the best products to use are Dragon Shield sleeves. Sure, they're typically meant for competitive play, but I've been using them for my complete run of unlimited base set that I'm putting together. Dragon Shield also makes a sealable inner sleeve that I love, and they use no glue. Trust me, this isn't me shilling. I've used and/or still use a variety of products from different brands on my decks. Just personal preference is for Dragon Shield.

[@A_Bottle-Of_Orange_Crush]

Great video. I've been collecting various cards since original Base set (sadly all my old stuff is all gone) and am very familiar with most of these. I've never seen those smaller penny sleeves and I would actually be a little worried about damaging edges/corners trying to fit the cards into them. Most of my rare Pokemon cards are in Ultra Pro penny sleeves+top loaders.

[@coffinguy2680]

I thought the exact same thing until I tried them, I've been using those perfect fit sleeves for 2 years now and none of my cards have been damaged or bent

[@vahn_legaia]

I just got back into collecting Pokemon cards. I have around 1700 of them and just ordered a 100-pack of the KMC sleeves. I do have some of the deck protector sleeves as well, I will try out putting my most valuable into the KMC then deck protector into my side-loading binder and see how it goes. Thanks!

[@drgoldfinger89]

Thank you for the video - exactly what i was looking for!

[@missstitching8213]

I have a plastic card storage box similar to the cardboard ones that I got at walmart for my bulk. It's really nice and has sections much like the cardboard boxes do. :D

[@rlentz1]

Top Loaders will also fit in the elite trainer boxes very well

[@GamerKing1482]

I just found that out the other day, it is amazing!

[@chefboiardeeznutz9881]

Noticed the elite trainer sleeves are slightly bigger than those pokeball sleeves you got, which I have bought the pokeball ones myself. I say that because when I put them in upside down and then in my binder, it's more difficult to put it with the elite trainer sleeves.

[@damienmontano4677]

[@mastermagen4571]

I got a Japanese pokemon pikachu team skull grunt box from pokemon center online and it came with one of those little boxes, card dividers, and sleeves. I dont have a very big collection of rare cards, maybe 15, so it's perfect for keeping those in.

[@jonathanburr89]

Would you actually recomend putting cards in penny sleeves AND playing sleeves when storing them then? Not and/or?

Yes, putting them in a regular binder will ruin the card if you're trying to get it graded, sleeve that bitch ASAP when you can and slap it in a card saver after

[@nicholasfecteau6364]

A bit late to the party but I have yet to find a consensus on this. I use two of the Ultra Pro binders featured in your video. All cards have deck protector sleeves, and all WOTC holos and all Ultra Rares are double-sleeved with KMC perfect fit inner sleeves. What I've been debating is whether it is better to stack the two binders horizontally/flat so that the pages don't sag, or vertically so that the pages aren't flattened. Thanks in advance!

[@FistofNorris]

@leonhart I have my cards in penny sleeves and then in ultra pro platinum binder pages. It’s a tight fit, making the penny sleeve wavy and preventing the page stack from laying flat. Is this bad for the card long term? Will this tight fit bend the card over time?

[@199NickYT]

What is your opinion on three-ring binders? Too much risk of damage by closing it wrong? Also what about getting a binder with a zipper so it can be "sealed off" from dust?

[@zucro691]

Use a penny sleeve normally then slide in the open end first into a top loader with the opening facing down, then store then in ziploc bags.

Did u ever found out?

[@pokegive-awayguy3814]

Great idea using elite trainer boxes!

[@krx50]

As fa as I personally go, I'm a bit more lax about storing my cards. Yes, I do have a binder for them, but I just put them directly in there, because the binder pockets protect the cards just fine, and when I pull them out, I like holding the actual cards themselves. I only really sleeve important cards that I keep outside the binder, and only use toploaders for special cards that wouldn't fit among my binder cards. I then use my many tins to store my bulk cards so I don't have them all scattered around.

[@naruhina6772]

Dude you're the ultimate collector

[@Cinomod6066]

My personal preferences are dragon shield perfect fit inner sleeves the ones that completely seal. For holos or my actual deck for playing. And dragon shield matte sleeves for double sleeveing. If I'm just putting cards in a binder the drsgon shield perfect fit inner sleeves again the completely sealable ones I just use those when I'm putting cards in a binder. For displaying purposes there are a couple like hard cases I have I believe they are ultra pro hard cases that have a magnet up top to seal them great thick hard case to put on a display stand and easily swappable if desired. There are also hard cases that screw shut but I would say make sure you find ones that have a indent for your cards to sit in and arnt just 2 slabs of acrylic that squish your card in between them. I mostly use binders for if I'm collecting complete sets or if I have a special selection of cards I want together of in have extra of and arent with their respective sets like I have a binder of just extra full art trainers that I collect and a binder just for promo cards. Outside of that cant go wrong with big bcw collector boxes to store your cards in they hold up great and are made for storing cards.

[@evelynlopez985]

Hello Leonhart, thanks for the great video. I don't know if you can help me with this question. I am starting collecting pokemon and dragon ball cards and also figures and I think I am over spending on them. Everytime a new product arrives and I like it then I purchased it. Do you think this is a good investment or should I buy only limited edition products or what is the limit for collectors? I don't have a lot of money so I don't know if what I am doing is worth to invest my money or if I should stop doing it. Thanks for your help and thanks for your awesome videos.

[@emeraldboy7979]

From my perspective of view, you should only get pokemon cards because the dragon Ball cards ain't worth and are not having a reputation in collectors society so you should get all the pokemon cards as they can price up to $5000 so yeah just my opinion 😊
