Vault X 12 Pocket Trading Card Zip Binder, 480 cards, Premium Exo-Tec Album Material, 20 Side-Loading Pages, Folder for Collectible Card Games, Sports, TCG (Black)

So, like many of you, I recently started sorting through my 20+year old Pokémon cards, the folder they were in was the same one I got with them in 1999, and the plastic pockets had seen better days. I desperately needed a new folder for them to keep them in a half decent condition. I decided to go for the 12 pocket eXo-Tec Zip Binder - and i do not regret my decision. Initially I was a tad apprehensive as to whether I should buy the folder as it was one of the more expensive ones that Vault X had. However I'm pleased I did. Pros Side loading pockets - this works nicely to ensure your cards wont be spilling out the top of the folder if you happen to turn it upside down (definitely had that issue with my old one). Zip - The zip seems to be a really solid, quality zip and keeps the binder together nicely. I went for this over the strap binder as I felt it would be more secure. It also adds an extra layer of protection in the off chance you spill or drop anything on top of the folder. The Binder Material - The entire build of the folder feels top quality, the material is sturdy enough to keep everything secure, but not abrasive as to damage the contents, the same goes for the material that the pages are actually made out of - ensuring that your cards shouldn't get scratched (you still have to be careful as you would in any case). The Pockets - As mentioned previously, the side loading prevents the cards from falling out of the binder and the material should stop cards from getting scratched. They are large enough to fit a card in that has been stored in a plastic sleeve, keeping them extra safe from scratches/damage. Cons The only downside I found was that a few of the pockets nearer to the centre of the folder seemed a very snug fit and proved a slightly bigger challenge to insert and remove cards from - however this was such a minor thing it's not something that will ruin the folder. Final Point - this is a great folder for storing your collectable trading cards, the design is clean and feels really secure. If you are looking for a binder to PROTECT and SHOW OFF your cards this is definitely worth the purchase (I actually bought a second folder as I filled the first one up and was very pleased with the first). However I wouldn't recommend it if you are planning on regularly taking your cards out to use them in competitions etc as I feel you would need more accessibility to be able to remove the cards more easily. Thanks for reading and I hope this has been a helpful insight in to the binder.

This binder is perfection! The pages of the binder are perfect high quality plastic, the binder slots are sideloaded meaning I feel safe when carrying me binder knowing the cards wont fall out, as well as the pockets having a snug fit for my cards which is very good to! The stunning look of the binder amazes me! the baby turquoise is a gorgeous colour, I got this for my sons birthday which he was very happy about, we both put our hits in the binder. The thickness additionally is ideal to as it obviously has to be thick to hold all the pages, but its comfortable, and that's all that matters Looking back in the past this will be a unforgettable memory :) 10/10 could not recommend enough!

Bought this for my Pokémon collection and couldn’t be happier. Holds a huge amount. I've fit three collections easily and the quality feels premium. The side-loading pockets and zip closure keep everything secure, and the cards sit firmly in place. Overall it has the same thickness as a long novel as it sits on my shelf. One of the best and easiest binders I’ve used.

Love the vault x binders as it provides protection against damage for cards. The designs are all amazing too.

Really impressed with this Vault X binder – feels solid, the zip keeps everything secure, and the side-loading pockets hold cards in place perfectly. Fits sleeved trading cards and sports cards with no issues, and the pages are clear so the cards look great on display. Definitely feels like a premium option and worth it if you want to keep your collection safe.

Perfect binder for exactly what I needed. Great large pages of 12 to fit everything I needed with plenty of space throughout for all my cards. All the pockets are side-loading, which means they don’t slide out if the binder is upside down. Gets a little bulkier and heavier once filled, but is expected considering it nearly holds 500 cards! The zip to make sure the binder is closed and your cards are safe is amazing and wish I had binders with this sooner.

Brilliant binder, exactly what I was looking for, but unfortunately 3 double pages in the back had broken pockets. Had already filled it by the time I found them so too late to return and no way to contact seller.

I've bought quite a few binders and these are the most high quality ones I have come across. Perfect fit for loads of cards, even sleeved ones, lovely way to display all your favourite cards while keeping them safe.I mostly collect pokemon but yu-gi-oh, digimon, topps and panini cards fit well into the pockets too. Cool to see a bunch of different coloured binders too, I got green, it's a little bit of a dull green but I quite like it and the material on the binder feels high quality and sturdy. Definitely recommend for any hardcore pokemon collecters, even though the binder is on the expensive side, it's one of the best you can get from what I've seen.
