View Full Version : Card storage- binders/sheets/top loaders- what do you use and where do you get them?

Last year at some point I bought a case of toploaders from someone on eBay. 1000 3x4 UltraPro. Came with penny sleeves. The cost seemed high and the shipping was absurd, but it was the only seller who had penny sleeves and 3x4 toploaders. Today, back on eBay, I can't find one seller who has a case of Ultra Pro 3x4s AND penny sleeves. This seems weird to me.

How do you store your raw cards? Where do you get your materials? Do you prefer any one vendor/seller/brand? Why?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Have always found Columbia Sports on ebay very fair priced and reliable:

David - I hope you don't mind - I have a related question. Has anyone found graded card storage bags that fit the postcard size SGC holders? I like to let me kids look through my collection, but if the SGC slabs aren't in those plastic bags they get scratched up.

Card Saver 2's purchased through ColumbiaSports, the seller Scott mentioned. Fairly priced, good communication, and very fast delivery.

Below is a link to what I use. The postcard-sized holders fit almost perfectly. The drawback is you can't seal the bags. Despite that, these have worked very well for me.

I've yet to find storage bags of this size that can be sealed. Someone at the National two years ago told me they were being sold on the floor by an exhibitor, and I walked all over searching, to no avail.

Thanks Rob - the best I could find in a resealable bag were the 5.2" x 7.7" offered by these guys:

and the 5.25" x 7.25" here:

but both are over 1/2" too wide and wouldn't provide the best fit, so I've held off. If anyone knows of the mythical distributor Rob heard about, let us know!
