You know what I always liked about your channel? You cover so many genres. Playing games, podcast lives, discussion videos, market talks, collection talks and showcases, product reviews, interviews, etc.

[@TedsBasementPodcast]

Thank you so much. Means more than you know ❤️

[@hyperbolicskull]

Would the card guardian binder fit Pokemon cards with sleeves?

[@TedsBasementPodcast]

It should fit all standard sized trading cards.

[@dueydrew]

Really helpful in making a decision. Thanks for going into such detail.

[@TedsBasementPodcast]

glad this video added value! really appreciate the comment!!!

[@andrewgonzalez2460]

I was going to buy a 9 pocket zipper binder from Vault x but here’s my questions 1. Should I buy regular sleeves or exact fit sleeves to sleeve the cards before putting them into the binder 2. For more expensive cards I have is it better to sleeve and put into a top loader or do you think a vault x binder is good for protection?

[@TedsBasementPodcast]

I use regular penny sleeves or exact fits depending on what I have laying around. Some penny sleeves fit in the pockets better than others, but I can't remember which brand fits best. That might be a good idea for another video. For my expensive cards, I just double sleeve them and put them in the binder to keep them with the set. I do keep some expensive cards in top loaders when I'm not collecting a set that they belong in. Hope this helps 😀

[@Hightower2804TP]

I really like your down-to-earth approach to this. A welcome surprise to those ADHD channels that are 90% jokes and shitty editing vs 10% facts.

[@TedsBasementPodcast]

I really appreciate that you took the time to say that. I am also glad you got value from this video.

[@AdamClauson]

This was so helpful thank you! I really love how in depth you were in explaining every little detail about the binders and handling it in different ways as you described what you could see and feel. I've been meaning to get my pokemon cards out of the 5 inch three ring binder I put them in back when I was a kid and after watching your video, I feel confident about getting a couple vault x binders and vault x sleeves to more safely store them. I did have one question - the only complete set I have is the original base set and I was planning on putting some of the more rare/holos in toploaders but I'd also like to keep that set together. Do you know if that vault x binder is capable of holding a card that's being housed in a top loader? Or is a top loader too large to fit into the sleeve? Or would that not be the smartest way to store the set?

[@TedsBasementPodcast]

Toploaders are too large. O have 9 sets from different games in my vault x binders and some sets I cars guardian binders, and some old sets in ultra pro binders, none of them have rings and I enjoy the vault x or card guardian about the same. Hope that helps 😀

[@AdamClauson]

@@TedsBasementPodcast Oh ok thanks! Yea that was helpful, much appreciated! :D

[@SoccerCroatian]

Toploader binders do exist. Gemloader and Topdeck are two companies that make such binders.

[@alolan_nerd]

I really appreciate you taking the time to go into such detail on this video. Really helpful!

[@TedsBasementPodcast]

Sure thing! I'm glad you got value from it. There still is no perfect binder solution, so I think these details are important to look into.

[@Uzuchireign7]

This is an odd question but does the material on the outside allow for stickers to be put on or no?

[@TedsBasementPodcast]

Great question. I use a label printer, and I'm able to get my labels to stick. But I have to apply it with a little heat, and I do have to press on it periodically, like once a year or so, to make sure it's still on there. The binders have texture which makes it hard to stick things, but it's not impossible.

[@Uzuchireign7]

@@TedsBasementPodcast Thank you so much that helps a bunch!

[@TedsBasementPodcast]

@@Uzuchireign7 absolutely!

[@umi6376]

I absolutely appreciate you for posting this video, it's definitely helped me on deciding which binder I want now. I'm aiming more towards vaultx binder but might go for the card gaurdian just for now due to the sell that's going online right now with my coupons, and the binder does seem the same quality but a slight bit Better in my opinion. Just ordered 2 card gaurdians so let's see how this goes 🤟 . I just started collecting pokemon , yugioh and magic cards again and have a few valuable cards I'd like to be safe in a binder. Thanks again you got a sub!

[@TedsBasementPodcast]

much love thank you so much :)

[@umi6376]

@@TedsBasementPodcast just got my card gaurdians binder a hour ago , finished loading up my binder with my valuable pokemon cards and I love it it's great although I think the vaultx is better structured, and the pages in the vault x are better. I had a friend loan me his vault x binder to do a in person comparison, card gaurdian is still good but now I know to go for vaultx 🤟 thanks again! Sell me a vaultx binder lol joking. Keep up the good videos

[@solargod03]

Card Guardian binders are really nice, I also got a WINTRA 504 pocket binder in brown. It's very nice and gives a vintage look.

[@TedsBasementPodcast]

I'll have to check those out 😀

[@summonedskull98]

1st time on the channel, what a great and informative video man, thanks so much!

[@TedsBasementPodcast]

Thank you so much! I have provided some deep dive binder comparison videos as well if u r interested 😀

[@imsapo3646]

Great video and really helpful, ever thought of reviewing the ultimate guard zipfolio as well?

[@TedsBasementPodcast]

I hadn't tried that one yet

[@Senji_223]

Do you sleeve your cards with the top exposed or the bottom exposed?

[@TedsBasementPodcast]

I let the top be exposed because the weight of the card is more likely to pull it down in the binder when you are holding it upright. So the bottom is likely to get more wear in the binder pocket and therefore needs more protection than the top. It just my opinion, I hadn't done any scientific tests to prove it.

[@arturoatencio1433]

hi! Im looking for a binder that can hold YGO cards *without sleeves* A few months back, i bought one form amazon, and shipped to my country (im not in the US) and when it came, pokets were too big for YGO cards, to the point cards were wiggling inside this pockets, so I had to sell it to a Pokemon player. Binders are way too expensive here in my country, so thats why I looked up for something in amazon, but that one was a failure. On this video, you did not show YGO cards, i want something with small pockets for the YGO size without sleeves. Any suggestions?? Thank you.

[@TedsBasementPodcast]

It might be hard to find a binder with non-standard pockets because from a manufacturer perspective that limits the number of customers who would potentially buy their binder. Untimely, I don't know because I don't binder YGO catds.

[@Spekulanttis]

What happend to your videos about Dream Book TCG?

[@TedsBasementPodcast]

Im in process of taking down all my indie tcg videos across all games. I made an announcement here kzbin.info/www/bejne/ipamn4iiic9jiKc I'll still be collecting some of the indie tcgs but focusing on mainstream like MTG and possibly some pokemon

[@Spekulanttis]

@@TedsBasementPodcast I see but you were supporting them so much so I thought u got some problems with them after time or etc.

[@TedsBasementPodcast]

@@Spekulanttis I don't want to to make concessions for one single indie TCG when I went mainstream. I still enjoy their cards and still maintain a collection of their cards, I'm just not making videos for indie tcgs. I'm not saying you won't ever see an indie tcg video from me again, but it will be more rare.

[@cujo-ox9xm]

Hi,does any of the zipper binders lay flat once their open.

[@TedsBasementPodcast]

They do if enough pages are opened to put enough weight on both sides of the binder to hold it open.

[@cujo-ox9xm]

Thanks for your quick reply,I recently bought a vaultx 4 pocket binder but some of the people said they've noticed spine bulging, I'm not an expert but I think it's normal. It has to be flexible,I,"ll try to send you a picture to see what I mean.

[@cujo-ox9xm]

The first page kind of bends in the middle,the rest lay flat. Thank you!

[@TedsBasementPodcast]

[@umi6376]

What do you think about the plastic portfolio binders with the strap from vaultx? I'm looking into a portfolio for trading or just common cards

[@TedsBasementPodcast]

i cover those bad boys over in this video... and I will make another updates one within the next week or so as I review the strapped binder after holding cards on a shelf for a year and seeing how that affected the binder and the cards. But for now, check out this video here when I did the compare in 2021 kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3-3fKCCh6x8qqs

[@d2h655]

Appreciate the help in my decision! Super underrated channel in my opinion, keep up the great work!

[@TedsBasementPodcast]

Appreciate that! Happy holidays 😀

[@JuliokkTVGG]

Which of these 2 is the best?

[@TedsBasementPodcast]

They are so similar, the difference might be negligible. I might say the card guardian on the chance that the page bindings have a tiny bit more fabric on them, resulting in a slightly less chance of pulling the page when the binder gets really full.

[@JuliokkTVGG]

@@TedsBasementPodcast Whoa thanks for the answer !!! New sub

[@TedsBasementPodcast]

@Julio Rubio that means so much to me. Thank you!

[@toonkonig2300]

What is the best binder for ,,Yugioh" and wich one is the best ,,deckbox" (for double sleeved cards)?.

[@TedsBasementPodcast]

There is no perfect binder yet. I hope the industry fixes the remaining issues. I use the card guardian or vault-x side loading Ringless zippered binder, but they have issues, too. So it's sort of a pick your poison sort of thing

[@toonkonig2300]

@@TedsBasementPodcast Thanks for youre comment and keep your doing 💪🏼.I found a another binder ,,Ultra Pro Binder - 9 - Pocket Vivid Zipper".
