Palms Off Gaming Collector's Series 9-Pocket Top Loader Zip Binder

A$59.95 — In stock

The nine-pocket version of the top loader binder is the one traders end up carrying. Nine loaders to a page means a full trade binder fits in a single volume rather than three, and because every card stays inside its loader, a binder that gets opened and flipped through a dozen times at an event is not putting wear on the cards themselves. Same Collector's Series construction as the rest of the range, metal zip and padded PU cover, with velvet-lined inside covers.

Why collectors pick this binder

The highest-capacity loaded-card layout Palms Off Gaming makes
Cards stay inside their loaders, so they are never handled to be filed
Full-perimeter metal zip keeps the pages sealed in transit
Padded textured PU leather cover with velvet-lined inside covers
Available in eight colours

About the Collector's Series 9-Pocket Top Loader Zip Binder

This binder has 12 double-sided pages in a three-by-three layout, giving room for 216 standard 35pt top loaders. That is a very different number to the 360 cards a regular 9-pocket binder holds, because each pocket here is sized for a rigid loader rather than a bare card, and each page has to carry that extra depth.

The pockets load from the side and are cut for standard 3 × 4 inch, 35pt loaders. Thicker loaders for patch and relic cards will not fit. The steel zip has an O-ring pull, which is easier to grip than a small tab when the binder is full and heavy. It also ships with a colour-matched microfibre cover bag, useful for keeping the cover clean in a backpack or on a shelf.

Choose this when you carry or store a lot of loaded cards: a trade binder for events, a queue of cards waiting on a grading submission, or a run of singles you would rather not handle out of their loaders. The 4-pocket top loader binder shows fewer cards in a larger frame; this one is about capacity. Keep it in its cover bag when stored, upright, and remember that 216 loaders make for a heavy binder, so carry it by the spine rather than by one cover.

Common questions

How is this different from the 9-pocket Collector's Series zip binder?

The pockets. This binder's pockets are cut to take a rigid 35pt top loader; the standard binder's pockets are cut for a bare or sleeved card. They look similar from the outside and are not interchangeable in use.

What size top loader does this fit?

Standard 35pt top loaders — the common 3" x 4" size. Thicker-point loaders made for jersey, patch or relic cards will not seat properly.

Is this the right binder for a trade night?

It is the one built for it. Loaders protect against the handling a trade binder gets, the pockets stop anything sliding out when the binder is passed around, and the zip means nothing is lost between the table and the car.

Can I use it for cards waiting on grading?

Yes, and it is a common use. Cards destined for a submission are usually already in loaders or semi-rigids, and this keeps them in order without a second round of handling.
