I'm really starting to get into collectible cards as a hobby/pasttime, it's just fun. I just got a bunch of authentic 1st edition Pokemon cards from the FIRST sets released years ago, original print, really nice. I want to save them the best I can, what's the best way?

I have some sleeves I got from walmart, but the cards just fall right out of the top if I tip it upside down. I don't want that, it could RUIN the cards very easily if they got bent, etc.

I do want 9 cards pages, but what brand is best and where can you buy them? I want crystal clear and be able to hold them in place. A card binder can be flipped upside down easily and I don't want my cards going flying.

It happened earlier, I put all my cards in the sleeves and it slipped out of my hand, all of them fell out. I was livid.

I think one of the reasons that they fall out (as well as my japanese dbz cards) is because they are so much SMALLER than the sleeve itself. It has so much wiggle room, they just tumble right out of there. LIke throwing a hotdog down a hallway type deal.

Buy some Pokemon specific sleeves, they have a ton of them out there.

I used to use hard cases for my baseball cards

Well Pokemon cards aren't the only ones I have. I have different types, Pokemon is the smallest collection I have. I need some good sturdy ones. I heard about stuff called Ultra-pro but I cannot seem to figure out where you buy those except amazon, which i'm not really into.
