BTS / KPOP Photocard Binder Set Up for Beginners - Types of Photocards & Supplies

UPDATE: I actually switched a few of the materials that I mentioned in this video to new ones. The biggest change was changing from the Ultra Pro 8-pocket pages to the 8-pocket pages of this UK-based seller: www.ebay.com/i.... I would recommend using these new 8-pocket pages instead. You can check out this video where I show the switches I've made: • Changing Pages and Sle...
Annyeong! The time has finally come for me to set up my photocard binder. I am still using my toploader storage system but as my collection has grown, it just made more sense to include a binder system too.
When I was planning for my photocard binder, I was really overwhelmed by the types of photocards and kinds of supplies that are available. That's why I wanted to share a video to help those who are about to start their own photocard binders. In this video, I go in depth with the different types of BTS photocards that I have--sharing the measurements of the cards, what sleeves to use and what pocket pages to keep them in. This is a LONG video but I hope it helps anyone out there who is a little overwhelmed by setting up their binders--just like how I was!
Finally, don't stress too much! Binders are meant to evolve and change as your collection grows. That's the beauty of this system. Just start your binder and make the changes as you see fit whenever you want.
Hope this was useful! :)
PRODUCT LINKS: I couldn't find them all but below are what are available. Do note that I live in Singapore and some of these links might only work in my geography. If the links don't work for you, don't fret! Like what I said in the video, your best best for supplies are shops that sell specialty board games or trading cards because they will likely also have supplies to preserve the cards. E-commerce sites like Amazon, Lazada and Shopee (for those who live in Southeast Asia) are also convenient places to search for supplies. Online marketplaces like Carousell and eBay are best for finding pocket pages because these sellers can sell them by the piece and you can order just what you need instead of ordering a box of 100 sheets in one go.

POCKET PAGES: Ultra Pro & BCW are easily searchable on Amazon or any e-commerce site that's available in your country. If you are just starting out though, try to search in your local online marketplaces for sellers who sell them by the piece so that you don't buy way too much. You can also see which kind of pocket pages you'll be using the most and just buy the bulk pack from Amazon, etc for that particular type. For me, I bought the 100s packs for UltraPro 2-pocket, 4-pocket and 8-pocket because I know that those are the ones that I need the most.

BINDER: Just find any 3-ring binder that is sturdy enough to carry the weight of all the photocards you'll be storing. These are the ones I got: www.amazon.sg/...
