Toploader Binder created to cater your toploaded cards. No more stacking them in a box!

Story

Card Collector’s Choice: EVORETRO Shield+ Top Loader Binder 

Unlock the world of card collecting and take the perfect partner in keeping your cards safe 

Through years of developing gaming accessories, protectors, and top loaders, we thought of a nice product that stores and carries top loaded cards. This is specially made for trading card collectors, to give them a whole new level of storing and showcasing their rare and most prized collection.

Personally developed by retro card collectors, we’re excited to introduce our latest creation: The Card Collector’s Choice Shield+ Top Loader Binder. Stay on top of your collecting journey and last through every card duel without losing track of your precious collectibles!

Keep track of your most valuable cards with the integrated mesh holders, you can now safely slide your PSA-Graded card collection in the same place as your other prized possessions.

Plus, the added compartment for a GPS tracker assures you that you’ll never have to worry about losing any of your favorite cards again – no matter where your binder go, they’ll be able to find their way back home.

It’s not that the other binder options aren’t good—they just don’t offer the same level of protection as this top loader binder does.

With the Zip-Secured 360 Protection, you get a walled-off space for each of your cards, so that nothing can get in and ruin them. If something gets in there, the water-resistant microfiber leather exterior and polypropylene inner pages ensure it can’t get to your cards. This card binder also features a soft velvet interior to cushion your cards from wear and a desiccant slot for an option to keep your cards safe from moisture. The ultimate solution to keeping your game cards safe while looking sleek and professional!

Instead of having to flip through a stack of cards, this top loader binder lets you open it up and see them all at once. It has 12 pages with 9 back-to-back pockets and 4 extra elastic net pockets to accommodate your collection of Pokémon, MTG, Yu-Gi-Oh, and other PSA-graded cards, as well as your idol’s photocards, sports cards, and other collectibles.

The easy-access card slots allow you to quickly pull out what you need without having to dig through all of your other cards, so it’s easy to rearrange them if you want to swap them out.

A toploaded card is basically any card that could be a TCG Card or Sports Card that is stored inside a card toploader.

A card toploader is a rigid plastic holder that is specifically designed to store and protect cards from damages. The most common card toploader in the market is the toploader designed for 35pt cards. Before putting a card inside a toploader, it is a best practice to put the card inside a regular penny sleeve first, then, into the toploader to avoid scratches.

  • Generic card binders in the market can’t accommodate toploaded cards.

  • It takes time to find a single card in a box full of toploaded cards.

  • Binders that don’t have zippers are very prone to dust and water damage.

It’s hard to find a binder that actually works. It seems like some binders designed for trading cards or sports cards are either too flimsy, or don’t have enough security features to guard your cards. They also cause the cards to slip out when the page is turned which risks them extra damage.

We understand the frustration of collectors not being able to find the right binder to suit their needs. That’s why we created the Shield+ Top Loader Binder, your collection partner in storing your top loaded cards.

We know that card gamers and collectors are busy people, so we wanted to make sure this binder would be as easy to use as possible. We’ve designed our Gaming Card Toploader Binder to be tough and stand up to the rigors of your gaming and collecting lifestyle. It’s heavy but sturdy, which means it won’t slide around or fall over when you’re shuffling through your cards.

And if you want to use it as a shelf-sitter, you can! The binder is built with a solid material that lets it stand up straight on your desk.

It’s also got plenty of room for your favorite decks, so no matter how big your collection grows, this binder will always keep it organized and easy to find. Now you can arrange your sports cards and flip from one page to another from your favorite Michael Jordan card to your collection of Hockey and Fifa sports cards! Truly the perfect storage solution at an economic price.

As you know, toploaded cards are the new norm. We’ve seen it all and heard it all – this and that about how regular binders don’t work with toploaded cards. Our Shield+ Binder serves as a protective sleeve and a binder in one, so you can keep all of your cards safe while easily flipping through them.

Risks and challenges

The risky part of this project is that this is very niche specific. This might only catch the attention of collectors with toploaded cards already. As for the design, we are still working with our collector friends to revise our prototype. We could still add more features to make it more useful and efficient. Your thoughts and ideas as well are very much welcome and appreciated to make this project better. Please input them and we can discuss it over ? Though this is very niche specific, we strongly believe that this project will be a great help to all card collectors out there to preserve, protect and display their card collections. We will ask for your inputs as well as we move along in this project and which parts for the product would you like us to revise. Please stay tuned, we will give you soon the product that will become essential for your card collections. Regards, EVORETRO Team
