Hi! I've ordered a bunch of IFC cards recently and was wondering what people use to store/protect their cards?
I'm guessing the cards are around 2 1/2 by 3 1/2, yeah? Do you use penny-sleeves, the thick-plastic top loaders, or both? Do you have a binder full of fighters? Do you keep them in the original packaging?

I have mine stored in Top Loaders I think they are 3x4. I found them at Walmart. I then keep them in a plastic pencil case.

First of all welcome...second top loaders...Wal-martia is a good place to grab them. A small tote rocks to store them in as it holds dice, booklets, note book and writing utensil

I use the 9 slot trading card sleeves to store them in for now, but may switch to top loaders...

Those cheap plastic card holders; not the hard plastic.

Hard plastic top loaders. Store the bulk cards in a case like others.

I've upgraded to the 3x4 ridged top loader from World Collectible Storage Supplies...

I put each of my cards in the same types of card sleeves as colson (which are the Ultra Pro branded ones) and I have two Ultra Pro deck boxes: a blue one I had back in my Yu-Gi-Oh days when I was 10 for the IFC guys, and a pink one I bought specifically for the Glitter roster. I'm probably gonna need another one soon, as the blue one's getting filled up.

Hard plastic top loaders. A local Magic den sells a pack of 20 for $3.

Seeing this bumped made me want to share some changes I've made in the last 4 years.
My card sleeves are the exact same (soft, Ultra-Pro-brand.) I use the Rumble Box from the Champions of Time Kickstarter for carrying/storage (though honestly I'm gonna need another of these lunch boxes because being at around 400+ cards, this is leaving little room.)
The blue Ultra-Pro Deck Box that once held my IFC-affiliated fighter cards now holds the previous versions of updated fighters (like IFC 1 Vincitor & Honest Abe, Free Agents Powermonger & X'ian, GLITTER 1's Chloe & Paige, BOTH previous Myron Reed cards, and more) with the only exceptions right now being Nitro and Turbo (I have not yet broken them up and used Superion & Scorpius, Nu Breed right now is still an active Duo in my Smack Network fed.)
The pink deck box (also Ultra-Pro) that was originally for my GLITTER roster holds the CoT box and the Deck of Heck, and that is in a Christmas cookie tin along with all my hard belt sleeves, bio booklets, cover cards (from sets like Free Agents 2 & the 4-packs) extra dice I don't currently use, and I'm actually saving the black envelopes from Fight Pass mailings, in case I want to do some kind of mystery fighter gimmick, where I put cards in each, shuffle them around, and randomly pick an opponent for someone. I'll probably make a show out of that in one of my feds.
