Sleeve & Album Recommendations for Set Storage?
Posted: Fri Feb 16, 2018 12:23 am
Hi, I have decided to get some sets and put them in a binder so I can flick through them. I won't be playing with them.
I have bought some KMC Perfect Size sleeves as I intend to double sleeve them. The Ultra Pro Pro Fits are just that little bit too small and it looks like the cards are bending.
I am looking for some sleeves to go on the outside.
I have some unopened boxes of UltraPro from back in the day, other than the hologram detracting from the view they are fine for what I need but I only have a couple of hundred.
Ultra Pro seem to get a lot of flak online for being cheap and nasty, and back in the day I did have a few split on me but they were the only brand available.
I am looking for clear backs, colourless, non textured sleeves because I don't intend to play with the cards and if I do, I will just put them in another sleeve anyway. I want to be able to see the back of the card as they will all be unplayed. No holograms if possible and as the idea is to stop dust and moisture affecting the cards only, they don't have to be that robust.
Not necessarily looking for a budget option but no need to pay for a top of the range gaming product when I just need it for storage.
Any recommendations?
I also have an unopened box of UltraPro Platinum 9 Pocket Pages which I have been hoarding for years but I would prefer not to use a ring binder if possible. These ones are the nine hole punched pages so I can use them in my four ring binders because I can't find three ring binders over here.
I intend to store by set and one portfolio/binder per set would be good. I have seen the new 12 pocket pages but I am not after playsets so they are probably too large for my needs. As I won't be pulling things in and out or moving pages around there is no need for a ringbinder which should save space.
I have a lot of banknote albums but they are bulky and overkill for individual sets. The sets will probably spend most of the time sealed in zip-lock baggies in a sealed box to keep them out of the Queensland humidity so the least wasted space the better
Are side loading pages any good or are they just a gimmick?
Any recommendations?
Cheers
