How do you guys store cards worth 5+ dollars that you know you aren't using now but will use (think like legacy/vintage staples).

Duals/Fetches that sort of thing. I have a binder but I think it is warping my cards from their being a couple blank pages in there. Any other ideas?

Cards (max 4) inside a penny sleeve inside 9-pocket pages. I do that for my collection and it works.

I put them upside down in a sleeve then put them into the page in the book.

I recently got one of those Monster Binders (expensive, but the best protection for binders out there). I keep all of my Vintage stuff, even the commons/uncommons, there for easy access and storage. Considering I have alot of cards in the $50+ range, the investment of $25-30 was well worth it.

I've heard of these, can you explain what makes it worth it? I'm not patronizing here, I really want to know.

Cards never slip out and the binder material is flexible and tough, making it last for a long time despite abuse.

I have 2 long boxes, one for legacy one for standard. I use the japanese perfect fit sleeves...just sleeve up the card and drop it in the box.

Exactly what Master Wolf said. Plus, you can easily hold 4 cards in a slot without the sleeve strecthing itself out.

This. I keep everything together by rarity, then color, then set, regardless of how good or valuable it is, so I've got Berserks right next to Camouflages. If I need it, I know where it is, rather than have to look through 37 binders before I find it.

First, each card into a perfect sized sleeve, and then, playsets in a penny sleeve. It fits perfectly, and it's easy to go trough, easy to rearrange.

I usually take higher end cards Power, Duals, FoWs etc. and put them upside down in perfect fit sleeves and then put them in those little 4 pocket books. Common and uncommon playables I put playsets together in penny sleeves and toss them in a box. Standard stuff under $10 just go in binders.

I'm glad I ran across this post, do you think you could just take some pics of your monster binders with your MTG cards inside the sleeves? All the reviews seem to be with yugioh cards

wait, you can hold more than 1 card in a monster binder sleeve? i talked with a vendor and they recommended not to, and that's what deterred me from buying one

I've been doing playsets since the very beginning and so has everyone I know who has one.

I got mine at the local shop. I think I paid $30 for mine, but was before they starting selling at retail stores for slightly less.
