I’m not sure I quite understand what you’re referring to, any chance you have a link for me? Not sure they are sold in these parts (I’m Dutch, sports cards are not a common thing here), but I could probably order them from the US if I know where to get them.

That’s a valid point as I have seen people do that. I’ve also seen those people sitting by themselves for quite awhile too. However, as much as I love to trade, I will personally say I have never sat down next to someone utilizing that strategy because as bad as it sounds it almost screams “shark”, as most people don’t carry A/B duals on them to openly advertise them. To me (personally) it feels like I’m out of their league…just as I’ve had people tell me when they saw my legacy binder that I was out of theirs and that’s not where you want to be if your goal is to trade extensively. I realize this is often a misconception, but it is a common enough one that I should have mentioned it in my article.

I’d never heard of them before, but the binders look interesting. Those ultra pro pages look great (and fyi they are on amazon at 7.35 per 10) and if I ever decide to go to larger D-ring style binders I’ll probably give those a shot. I really like my monster binders which fit really well in my awesome military style laptop bag (I bought at a gun show that holds binders amazingly) (http://inswank.com/images/ebay/briefs/ns_bpc1171.jpg)

That’s a great question and one that everyone must decide on personally. I follow the idea that many stores use, which is to only keep a few copies (typically a playset) visible and keep your remainders in another binder. This 1) keeps people from jumping on you for (hopefully falsely) accusing you of being a shark, 2) it creates a more “limited offer” look (if you have 20 copies of something I need I’m more inclined to keep looking elsewhere with the knowledge that I can probably find you and pick them up later if I can’t find anyone else with them), 3) It’s safer, if someone were to steal your binder they wouldn’t get all your copies. The only time I have any exception to this rule is for highly liquid staples…I have my modern land binder which has 18+ of each fetch and shockland. But people that are looking for higher dollar cards are often less concerned about dealing with “sharks” because the number of people with them is far fewer than with the $3-5 standard rares. However, that being said, I don’t advertise the modern land binder and only bring it out when someone specifically asks for fetchlands. I also keep a playset of all the shocks in my standard binder (as they are standard legal currently)

Or also if you show that you have like 20 Jaces for trade might seem too intimidating? But another train of thought is that if they need something from you, they’re not gonna care.

There are curved, plastic spacers that clip onto the 3-rings and hold the pages up and out of the spine so they don’t get imprinted like that. You should look for those. I’ve never seen them with anything labeled for TCG card use, but rather for sports card binders.

I’m tempted to double sleeve them and just put them in a longbox instead as fitting in new ones becomes easier, but I’ve seen someone say that long term storage in longboxes might cause corner bends.I also like them in a binder to look at. I’d probably need more than one binder if I don’t want a C or D ring binder though and that still leaves the problem of moving them to make room for others.

Did anyone ever find a good solution?

That’s a good point. I always sleeve the cards in my monster binders so I’ve not been concerned about it, but I honestly believe you should sleeve them one way or another anyways, preferably with white background sleeves for blackbordered cards and black background sleeves for white boarded cards (as it really highlights condition)

We are actually somewhat on the same page. I have a land binder myself, though it’s solely modern lands as I spec’d hard on shocklands and fetchlands which take up a majority of one monster binder. The remainder of the binder is wwk manlands, shadowmoor/eventide/morningtide/etc filter lands, and Scars fastlands. I keep my dual lands in my “Legacy” binder solely because that’s where I have the space. I don’t blame you for going the Alphabetical Order route, however, my big concern with that is if you pick up a few more in the A-D range isn’t it a pain to shift all the others back? I do think it’s better to organize any binders by format/color as opposed to alphabetical for that reason. I also like to have a bit of space between sections (i.e. if you end at 1/2 a page of blue cards don’t immediately start putting green cards on the same page, but instead start on the next full page available.)

Since land is the most important part of your deck i have one monster binder only dedicated to land.They are all sorted in alphabetical order but have both legacy,vintage modern and standard in that binder.Should a land binder be seperated by format or lumped together in this shipshod way that i have it?Unfortunately with all the stuff i have it’s impossible to carry all my binders in my backpack.Any suggestions? thanks in advance
