Are you gonna keep that pokemon sealed or open it?


Yeah, Advance Wars is one of my favorite series. I have finished the DS ones and now I'm looking to finish the GBA ones too.

I'm keeping the Pokemon sealed. And open for trade with gb stuff :)

I love your collection! I have a very small collection but it's slowly growing and I'm running out of room to store them. I want to do the binder thing like you do, but I can't for the life of me find that brand of pages you use on ebay (ebay is my only option because I don't want to go to a coin place or something and over pay for plastic). Could you tell me of another brand that's as good? Or better yet link me to an ebay auction as an example of what you would use?

Look for card pages. Places that sell baseball cards, magic cards, and things like that should have them. Back when I was collecting fantasy art and comic cards, Ultra Pro were the 'good' brand that most places had.

Ultra Pro is probably your best bet and they're easy to find anywhere (even Target carries it). However, if you're looking to buy online. Amazon does carry the pages for fairly cheap.

Target huh? I do have a Target near me...so those ones are the right size to hold Gameboy games? And I mean gray cart, color carts and advance carts as well. I doubt they would be big enough to hold Game Gear games...but thats for another time.

Any page that can hold card games like Magic the Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh, Duel Masters and things of that size is good to hold Game Boy, Color and Advance carts too.
As for the quality of the pages I can tell you that most of them have the same quality. I even bet that there are better and cheaper brands out there.
Right now I’m using Ultra Pro because I have easy access to them, but I also used Deluxe “Something” and one or two Asian brands, and they all did the job.

It may be a pretty stupid advice, but here we go: When I was kid (and didn’t had the money to buy 9-pocket pages and sleeves for my MtG cards) I used to go to the shops where the daily/weekly competitions were held and I used to ask for the shop owner or veteran players for some free 9-pocket pages. I told them that I’m newb and I need a couple of pages to keep my starting collection… They are cheap and veterans dispose of old ones pretty easy :D
So you can go to a TCG shop, ask for 9-pocket pages, complain that you don’t have the money to start playing and also spend on pages and maybe you’ll get some for free ;)

I’ve started collecting at the end of 2011. So almost two years…
But I'm building my collection with quality in mind, not quantity.

Trax is one I've been meaning to pick up for a long time, but never really got round to. Let me know how it is.

Revenge of the Gator is awesome 8)
