The CORRECT Way to Store Your Magic Cards in a Binder 

Made a boring but useful subject into a masterpiece of entertainment.

Another thing about perfect fit-sleeving the cards before putting them into a binder is that there is a very subtle pattern on the pages. You can feel it when you run your finger on it, and I guess long exposure on an unsleeved card can potentially press into the surface and leave an almost unnoticeable pattern. I've remember purchasing a card from Italian Legends which was in a ridiculously high condition. It was gem mint from the front. But the back surface had some weird pattern when inspected under light. I thought that maybe it was a fake card, but it turns out that it was legit and it appears that it was likely stored in a premium binder for a while but without a sleeve.

I always get my Lego’s from Wal Mart for maximum Toyota Corollas, but sometimes I’ll go to the Lego store to get some additional Raphaels

Gotta be careful with elastic bands on binders as well. I have started to see some bends on cards on the first pages at the spot where the band goes over.

Very good advice. I am going to buy some of those binders. Thank you you for the video MMM.

Man, this was not only educational but very funny!

Thanks for the tip. Now I can store my 360 storm crows safely

Haha I’ve been doing this stuff myself just logically thinking about it and people have been telling me I’m doing too much. Like the whole ring thing I knew that was a mistake with my first binder I got and then I started spending $80 to get big fancy binders before realizing I could get decent binders for about $20 without any rings, pages that sideload and enough pages for any single set. I’ve always sleeved everything in perfect fit sleeves for the most part

Lego Shoutout! Great advice as well! Nice editing.

Great video! For a good trade binder i always recommend people the 'Ultimate Guard Zipfolio Xenoskin'. The binder is very very sturdy and closes with a zipper so that cards can't fall out no matter what. I can also just throw this binder in my bag and not worry about my cards getting harmed. 100% recommended!

03:13-03:32 is just excellent guidance with a perfect explanation of "how this could happen to you!" bravo.

I encase all my cards in thickened Jello for extra protection and FLAVOR!!!

Thank you my man, very helpful! Cheers from Italy.

Nice video! Only thing I'd add is don't over-pack the binders. I find many include more pages than their binding can actually support (prob so they can charge more for it), so I only fill the first 75% or so until the pages aren't sitting parallel.

Love the shirt bro. Seriously made me hit subscribers

Excellent, great advice

Yup. I took a long time off from the hobby and when I came back to it one of the first things I did was re-binder most of my collection. However, one frustrating thing was discovering while some ringless binders have higher capacity than others, they don't widen the spines to compensate. This matters when the vast majority of good ringless binders have a capacity of 360 (20 pages) while some sets have more than 360 cards. The option is either wider pages or more pages if you want to fit the whole set in a binder. Both approaches have their drawbacks.

if you cannot afford a d ring binder you can all use the method i do. put the cards in the first slots 1-2 from the right to the left so basically no cards to be put into the ring slot area u lose 3 slots on each page but wont need to worry about ring damage

This was an EXCELLENT video!

Liked the video before watching just for the shirt; great album. But good video too man

Great video! I had just bought a binder with rings for my new collection, only to find everyone advise against it

OOOh I remember when I first discovered the binder dent! I was crestfallen!

You keep calling pages sleeves. If it holds more than one card, specifically 9 12 18 or 24, its not a sleeve. its called a page. My cards are double sleeved in KMC and then go into a side-loading binder like the one you show, except i use Ultimate Guard Flexxfolio. KMC is a bit pricey, from Japan, but they have the best inner sleeves.

ooooh i see that coheed and cambria book there!

thanks for the advices, and made it fast and super funny :) it's a thing we can neglect, but yes, a collection can be worth a lot and still fragile Even with my cheap and small collection,(innistrad,midnight hunt and crimson vow, nearly all of it, and a lots of common cards from a lot of editions) it would be bad to loose 50 to 100$ of value, just because of bad storage. The portfolio with no ring binder at all looks like the safest option, for the most valuable ones

I always thought sideloading inners were pointless but they're really good for extra protection in sideloading binnders.

Nice shirt bro!

Came here to get D ring binder advice, but I clearly see we both started loving metal with the same album. Whats you favorite shadows are security song? Mine is definitely reflection, losing sight in second place. Both very fun on guitar.

Bro u have a pretty good content, hope ur channel goes up like theres no tomorrow :3

Leave your cards in the card sleeves and then put them in ultra pro pages. Works for me.

Great video!

Best to keep higher value cards in nicer binders in general, D ring is good and all for the $5 or less cards though for sure.

very useful, thx

I love your shirt

Preselect your sleeves. Sleeves are made where machines grab sleeves and they put dimples on sleeves and some of them have harder plastic points that dig in especially to foils

I had a problem with a 4 row 4 column binder. Pages were sagging and cards in the bottom row started to bend. Betrayal!

This video was so much more entertaining than I expected. Binder betrayal.

Alright… you’re cool. The shirt says so.

Me who got ultra pro binder sleeves and they still split at the seems lol. Dragon shield all the way from now on.

"Binder betrayal"😂

good and helpful video with a hint of smiles ggs

I've never found a "D-ring" binder that's wide enough to prevent the oage from sticking out opposite the rings.

Holy fuck that shadows are security shirt telported me back to middle school

Ring Binders S*ck! so I only use the zipper ones. For High End I have the Top-Loader Binder...Super Safe. 😅😂🤣😁 on the LEGO... Love it. Have an awesome day. 🤘🦁🤘

A binder dent downgrades a cards grading to heavily played or damaged not light or moderately played.

Hey man, i use a 4x3 12 pocket binder (ringless, with a zip made by vaultx). I heard some people say that keeping it vertically on a shelf might damage the cards, is that true?

Arent they just called rings? O rings typically mean a completely different thing in various diff.. fields? By fields i mean stuff like, from neumatics(think paintball) to just basically creating a protective seal from air/water/whatever. Ive also heard ppl say to avoid side loader binders. Any clue why? Last thing i was curious about how serious of a problem these things are. Ive never had any of these issues not even when pokemon initial released in the states. Ive only recently started looking into these things as ive gotten back into collecting so to speak. The main thing i see mentioned is to avoid sheets/sleeves made with pvc, and to go for acid free sheets. Ive been finding it hard to find info on this stuff because unless youre going for the top end sleeved pages or what have you they dont always advertise what they are made out of or any of that stuff. I received a really cool binder as a gift and it came with its own sheets that i like but i have no idea if i should even worry about replacing them. Im probably going to do so because to top all those concerns there seems to be a thin film of oil on the inside of some of the sheets and it would be far too much trouble and unsafe to try and clean then reuse them imo. If anyones reading this and has opinions/info id love to hear it. Thanks for your time

I bought shadows are securities based upon that album art by Jacob. It’s still one of my favorite albums and I had no idea of the band before I bought it.

3:06 Try sidebanger 😅😅😅

I love a video all about a greasy guy coming to ruin my cards.. lol take care

Has anyone had issues with the perfect fits messing up the edges of a card while keeping them in a binder?

me accidentally having all my cards in a D ring binder to watch this knowing i wont ever have this problem (also is leather with zipper)

Sooo true

B I N D E R B E T R A Y A L

If only we had the good sleeves and binder pages in 94... My old cards wouldnt still smell like chicken and pizza. 😮 Penny sleeves, the Dial-Up of card collecting

Proper way to store expensive cards in your binder: Don't.

yea but these binders have a weakness the side loading ones all ways have a sleeve in your binders because over time taking the card in and out it make scuff marks i learned that the hard way on the m digimon card and yugioh and magic cards oh lord no also quick tip i would all ways charge people 5 or 10 dollars or depends on the price of the card how valuable it is if they wans too take out the card out of the sleeves i double sleeves my i would charge them

Is it safe to put 2 cards in each pocket?

Orrrr… buy a quad row zip up binder like a good collector?

The best way is to use the cardboard storage boxes.

So the tip at 3:12 is not to listen to Metal music, tsk tsk.

This dude looks EXACTLY like how the average person pictures an MTG player... lol... wow...

to me the first card looked completely destroyed xD

The correct way is the way I've done it for 22 years: Don't use binders. Put them in boxes, sort by rarity, alphabetically and arrange so the cards lie flat.
