Anime card games arrived in Australia with a rush of collectors who came for the manga artwork and stayed for the alternate arts and manga-rare chase cards. Storage questions followed quickly: the cards are standard size, but the way people collect them is a little different from the older card games.
Anime TCG cards fit standard binders
These cards are the same size as every other major trading card, so any Oasis Binders binder works. Sleeve them first, then load them into side-loading, acid-free pages. Leader and resource cards are the same size too.
Which format for which collector
- Set collectors: Anime TCG booster sets typically run to around 120 to 130 cards plus alternate arts and manga rares. A 9 pocket binder (360 cards) holds two sets comfortably; a 12 pocket binder (480 cards) suits collectors chasing every parallel.
- Alt-art and manga-rare collectors: these are the cards that get graded. A 4 pocket top loader binder (128 cards) keeps them rigid, visible and safe.
- Players: a 4 pocket binder is a neat way to store leaders and sideboard cards between events.
Character binders for the crew
Oasis Binders engraves crew designs featuring Luffy, Zoro, Nami and Chopper onto the same PU leather, zip-closed binders used across the range, and matching acrylic keychains are available for the zip pull. Every design is available in 4, 9 and 12 pocket formats and twelve cover colours, so a crew of binders can share one colour scheme.
Keeping manga rares in top condition
Because the chase cards in these sets are so much more valuable than the rest of the set, collectors often run two binders: one 9 or 12 pocket binder for the set, and one top loader binder for alternate arts and manga rares. Store both closed and zipped, away from sunlight and heat, and add a silica gel sachet in humid climates.
