Many of you have collected long enough to have some great cards in your collection. These “Very Important Cards” are worth an extra level of protection and are probably too valuable to keep in standard cardboard boxes. So, perhaps it’s time to consider upping your game when it comes to the way you store your cards.  As versatile as the standard card storage boxes are, stacks of cardboard boxes sitting out in your living room, bedroom, or fan cave to not look that appealing, nor do they do justice for your best cards. That’s why the 6 Drawer Card Catalog is the storage upgrade your collection needs. It’s a stylish and sophisticated way to keep your prized sports or gaming cards safe, especially when you want them easily accessible, and not buried in the back of your closet.

I got my hands on a 6 Drawer Card Catalog recently, and wow, I am impressed. Here are six reasons why any serious card collector should use these to store their best cards.

Direful Dolls Cardfight Vanguard Deck Tech

By Serena L.

Stand Up! Vanguard!

Serena back again! This time we’re back with Vanguard talking with the modern version of one of my favorite decks: Direful Dolls! This new archetype is a Standard format take on the old Nightmare Dolls with a whole new rideline that gets really good on those grindy games. And like Nightmare Dolls, Direful Dolls revolved around calling Workeroid units from soul to attack our opponents, with the added twist of calling them from bind for defense!

Pokémon Deck Tech: Quad Thorns

For most decks, finding the right balance between Pokémon and Trainer cards is as much art as it is science. That’s not the case with this deck: it’s 4 copies of Iron Thorns ex. There are obvious disadvantages, such as giving your opponent significant card advantage before the game begins. Fortunately, in this case, the risks are worth the reward.

Miku, the Renowned Commander Deck Tech

By Serena L.

Hey guys!
It’s Serena, taking the stage again to bring you all another Magic the Gathering Commander deck tech!

Selection of cards from the Miku-themed commander deck featured in the article

This time, we’re discussing Hatsune Miku! More specifically, we’re talking about Miku, the Renowned, a reskinned version of Feather, the Redeemed, a classic commander. This is a 3/4 flying angel for a red and two white. Also, whenever you cast an instant or sorcery that targets a creature you control, you exile it, then return it to your hand at the end phase. Therefore, we’re a fairly limited spellslinger deck, but that doesn’t mean we have bad options! The deck revolves around our commander and low-cost spells to hit our opponents hard and fast.

How to Protect Records when Submitting them to Audio Media Grading

Grading a record is traditionally performed by individual sellers, rating the condition of the vinyl and the record jacket, which can be two separate grades or a collective grade of both the vinyl and cover. Using standards defined by the community, records are graded from Mint to Poor, with the Goldmine Grading Guide being the most recognized standard. Most sellers are honest and fair when grading records, but opinions about a record’s condition can vary, which can be frustrating for buyers who disagree with the seller’s grade.

One solution comes from Audio Media Grading (AMG), which offers independent grading and archiving services for records, CDs, cassettes, 8-tracks, and more. Their team of experts authenticate and grade each item to provide an unbiased, professional opinion about its condition.
