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.ProsSide 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.ConsThe 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.

Love love love this binder! Card are well secured and the binder is the best quality on the market!

This is the best binder - that's not hyperbole, it really is.Yes, this is quite pricey...but this is the premium version (with the zip), the standard folding binder is much cheaper and having purchased both, I can say this one is much nicer but both do the trick!I can only speak to my experience using Pokemon cards, and for that purpose I cannot fault this product at all. You can store plenty of cards in this, without it feeling cramped or the binder starting to bend/wear as a result (the folded version is a bit worse at that!) and you can rest assured that they're safe and secure...even when you put certain cards in sleeves, they still fit comfortably.If you're a Pokemon fan, these binders are a must and thankfully due to the size usually fit an entire set, sometimes two! including secret cards, etc. I would advise getting the 12-pocket option over any of the smaller ones, unless you know exactly what you want to store.Not much else to say, I highly recommend and if you can't get one because stock is low, I would recommend waiting rather than getting another brand, as in my experience they're just not as good.My biggest complaint - there's never enough stock! But I suppose that's a result of more collectors getting into this hobby, especially due to COVID...what else are you going to do?

Back in the day I used to buy binders from Ultra Pro, then updated into xenoskin from Ultimate Guard, and then, covid changed it all and we in the UK were blessed with Vault X. I am the proud owner of more than 90 quadrow binders (between regular size, zip XL and 3 ring binders) and my collection feels more protected than ever. The quality is right up there with Ultimate Guard, sturdy, resistant to greasy fingers, dust or even water. The price is incredibly good and I can also say that every single card I have in those binders is sleeved with Vault X Pro Fit Sleeves. All in all I would recommend this to anyone looking to take good care of their collection - or the player that just wants to take a good binder to a store with his spares.Aside from that, the Vault X staff is also incredible and for several times their response to a faulty binder or miscut sleeves was lightning speed and met with a replacement without any questions asked. Priceless.A big thank you and 5 stars (can't give more or it would be 10) for the good products you offer us!

Great quality, protects my collection of cards

You definitely get what you pay for with this binder! One of the best qualities I've had. The 12 pocket binder is huge! Can hold a lot of cards, I don't think I will ever need to buy another one again. The pink is a very nice colour and the material feels very nice. I like that it zips up too! Cards will be very well protected.

The exterior is superb, the quality of the pages could be a little better, but as they say you get what you pay for.For the cost this is an awesome binder.

The media could not be loaded. I've had a black 9 pocket before and loved the quality and ease of displaying. I got this one for my Paldean Fates collection as I'm hoping to get a master collection. Having a 12 pocket enables me to set my cards out exactly as I'd like.There's plenty of space in this binder for the master collection and I couldn't be happier with it.Also, the colour is absolutely beautiful 10/10
