I am very happy with my current sleeve combo...perfect fit KMC and DragonShield - Soul. Puprle is not too dark and looks pretty good on black pages Also it is pretty nice in my opinion that it is not creating too thick frame around the card at least that's what I like.
Does anyone double sleeve using the dragon shield perfect fit sleeves inside a dragon shield sleeve? That’s the way I’ve been doing it and I’ve noticed that some of my cards the perfect fit sleeve is getting like wavy lines in it
The double sleeving with dark blue inner and white outer sleeve looks incredibly good 👍 🤩 For my part I double sleeve using transparent precise fit inner sleeves and regular japanese size black sleeves. And on cards I really like to put forward I go for the same black japanese size sleeve and a golden pokemon card size sleeve, it love the look of it 😄 Have a nice day !
Ultra Pro Premium Card Sleeves ( soft sleeves) are slightly smaller than the penny sleeves.I use them with top loaders still a bit of space though but a bit of a better fit
Curios to know why you switched from the White TD binder to the black one. I decided to try out the TD binder for myself - and I agree that the quality of the pages is the best. I wish the cover was cooler though. lol
Nice video ^^ Any suggestions on how to clean binders/sleeves? I still have some old transparent ultra pro pages that I wanted to recycle for commons. Another good brand that I'm happy with is vaultX
Not that I know of. This is one of the main reasons that I prefer using ring binders for high-end cards -- it allows me to swap out the binder pages when they accumulate some oil etc.
I'll give my opinions as well, for Pokémon they differ but for yugioh: Binder: I have yet to find the perfect one, tried tons of them but damn japanese card sizes make everything way more difficult than it should be xS My favorite for now is the Gamegenic Casual variant, not the Prime weirdly enough, it has bad inner pages quality while costing more (?), the casual is very clear and tight, fits Yugioh cards pretty well. I have a Blue one and a White one with matching pages colors, really good looking. Sleeves: BY FAR, bar none, the best sleeves are, and it's not even close, Strictly Sealed's Arcane Sleeves. I tried everything (Dragon Shield are the second best option) and in terms of looks they are 10 steps ahead over everybody else, not for play, but for binders they are flawless. We buy cards to admire them and these sleeves make cards look 25% better. Highly reccomend looking into them!
The biggest issue with Arcanes is that the cards tend to wiggle out of places both in the binder sleeve and the card itself. My OCD couldn’t handle it.
@@Flaredmetal I have 2 whole binders full of them and never had that issue. If you place them well in the first place and the binder is tight enough like with Gamegenic Casual or the Ultimate Guard loose Pocket Pages they really stay put 🤔 I'd lose my mind as well if that wasn't the case lol
@@grimreaper9477 Of course it's also a matter of taste but in my mind it's not even a question. Dragon Shield are way better than Konami sleeves and these are way better than Dragon Shield's. Again, in terms of beauty, not for play. Color coating sets is truly something else, I have a set of Legend of Blue Eyes with light blue sleeves and Magic Ruler with green sleeves, with the pack art in front is truly the single best way to display a collection in my opinion C:
Chinese binders are hit or miss. I've ordered that same one from Amazon before and when it arrived some of the pockets looked dirty and used. I tried a different brand called Foalgo have had great experience with it so far
100% agreed -- Fabmaker has always been in good condition for me. Mine were shipped with protectors on the sleeves to prevent any scuffing so maybe this is a recent addition.

Thanks! I like how thick the card gets with the Dragonshield double sleeve. It feels like it has some added protection

This video is so helpful, ive been looking for different binder option cause the sleeves i have on mine get weird white streaks on the sleeve

I have both -- I just wanted to have different colors so that I could differentiate the two.

Hi, are strictly’s sleeves much better than konami sleeves? Speaking for binder display only… or is the difference not that significant?

Can anyone confirm if the top deck 500 causes binder dents over time?
