Editor's Notes

July 08, 2020:

Whether you are just starting out in trading and gaming cards or recently picked up a new Yugioh or Magic Booster Box to add to your collection, you'll want to be sure to store them in a safe place to keep them in optimal condition, like one of the binders on this list.

Selecting the best item for carrying and displaying your cards is about finding the right balance of protection, portability, and aesthetics. Some collectors may prefer the elegant, businesslike simplicity of the Dex Protection 12-Pocket, while those looking to flaunt their love of genre fiction might find the Arcane Tinmen Dragon Shield AT-34219 or the Legion Dragon Hide BN9DHO more to their taste. Another great choice for visual appeal is the Inked Gaming Remaining Elements Showcase, which features vibrant commissioned artwork.

Those interested in durability above all else will likely be drawn to the Ultimate Guard XenoSkin Zipfolio or the Vault X Premium Exo-Tec. Both selections are built to last and seal their contents with zippers behind tough water-resistant exteriors. The Arcane Tinmen Dragon Shield Slipcase AT-33505 is a less portable option, but makes a great display piece while minimizing exposure to potential hazards.

A wandering writer who spends as much time on the road as in front of a laptop screen, Brett can either be found hacking away furiously at the keyboard or, perhaps, enjoying a whiskey and coke on some exotic beach, sometimes both simultaneously, usually with a four-legged companion by his side. He has been a professional chef, a dog trainer, and a travel correspondent for a well-known Southeast Asian guidebook. He also holds a business degree and has spent more time than he cares to admit in boring office jobs. He has an odd obsession for playing with the latest gadgets and working on motorcycles and old Jeeps. His expertise, honed over years of experience, is in the areas of computers, electronics, travel gear, pet products, and kitchen, office and automotive equipment.
