Douper Toploader Binder, Oversized 9 Pocket 252 Top loaders Holder with Side-Loading Sleeves for Trading Cards in 3" x 4" Toploader (Black)

It’s a little big but that’s to be expected as it’s for top loaders not regular sleeves. You get what you pay for it’s very high quality and the design on the front is awesome. Perfect addition for my new set, a nice place to store all my favourite and rarest cards, rather than having them shoved in a box in the bottom drawer.

Not many binders out there for top loaders but I'm really impressed with this one.

If you collect trading cards, gaming cards or whatever like I do, you probably will use binders. You'll also know the quality can vary considerably in terms of not only the binder itself, but also the sheets inside with the pockets that store the cards.This one is definitely in the 'premium' category. The binder itself is very well made of a nice black PU leather material and does carry some nice decoration, not flashy and gaudy like some, but instead has a representation of a dragon (it may be a Pokemon one) embossed into the covering giving it that extra feeling of class.Although it nominally holds 9 cards, per page, per side for a total of 18 pockets. It is a quite a bit bigger than your average 9 cards per page binder though which come in around A4 in size. This is because this binder and pages are designed with larger than average pockets so that you can store your really special/valuable cards in the pockets inside rigid 'top loaders' that you can buy.Any card collector will know what a 'top loader' is, but for those that don't it is a sleeve for a card made out of two panels of stiff plastic that is bonded on 3 sides. This gives your cards better than average protection, but at a reasonable price, the big difference therefore with this binder is you can keep your cards in the 'top loaders' rather than having to remove them to fit them into the pockets on the pages of the binder.This binder only comes with 14 sheets, each capable of holding 18 cards in 'top loaders' for a total of 252 cards. This may sound less than the average binder that typically comes with enough pages for 500 or more cards. But this is simply because cards in 'top loaders' are way thicker than an average card, probably 3-4 times as thick, so you can see why you can't get so many in the binder. The other issue is the extra weight of the 'top loaders', if you had too many in one binder it would be pretty heavy indeed. I know this as a lot of the cards I've stored in mine are the new special 'metal' trading cards you get from China. These combined with the 'top loaders' make the binder probably heavier than 3 normal full ones.So, there you go, if you collect cards and you have some special cards you want to protect this is the binder for you.

They've made this one whereby the sleeves are too big for the cards whereas the orange version was perfect, so I'm not impressed because they come out easily and as my son had nearly filled the orange I thought It would be made to get him the black one and its made to big for the cards, ridiculous really

From reading other reviews I was pretty hesitant to purchase it, I think for the price there are better alternatives.The zip/outer binder was good, no visible damage but noticeable white fluff covering the zip areas which required wiping off before use.The inner plastic sleeves are good and can fit 2 cards per section, but note that it will leave impressions/scratches on the plastic if you do stack top loaders in each section.Overall it does the job, but other options will be better and cost less.

Unfortunately, this product arrived in less than ideal condition (I would like to note that this was not due to Amazon's shipping or packaging, as the item arrived well-packaged with no damage to the box). Instead, this product is let down by either poor quality control or, frankly, the lack of any actual packaging the manufacturer is using for the product.The damage was fourfold, with the most notable dent on the front of the product, right over the "fire lizard" design. The next issue was the large crease running down the left-hand side of the binder, followed by the fact that the spine was rounded and crushed leading to the binder being distinctly uneven and flat. The last issue was a small scratch on the back of the product that I couldn't get my camera to pick up.Needless to say, this turns what should have been a high-quality premium binder into a very disappointing, scruffy, poor product. Whether this was caused by a quality control issue or the way it was packaged by the manufacturer (just in a very thin plastic bag), I can't say for sure, but I'd guess the latter. Either way, this is just not remotely good enough for a premium £40 product.If I were to look past all the damage, this is at first a nice looking binder with good stitching and nice inserts, but even here we see evidence of a lack of real care and quality you expect from a premium product with the zip not finished properly, instead looping around leading it to never actually securely fastening.I would highly recommend that the manufacturer uses proper packaging and revist the zip design in the future to avoid these issues, and that customers be aware that there is a good chance your product will arrive in less than ideal condition because of this oversight.
