How to Protect and Organize Tall Boy and Widevision Cards

Not every trading card fits the standard 2½” x 3½” size. Some of the most collectible vintage and specialty cards were produced in larger formats, creating unique storage challenges for collectors.

Two popular examples are Tall Boy cards and Widevision cards. While these oversized cards stand out in a collection, they often don’t fit traditional card sleeves, toploaders, binders, or storage boxes. Using standard supplies can lead to cards shifting, bending, or becoming damaged over time.

Fortunately, BCW offers several storage solutions designed to help collectors safely protect and organize these larger cards. This guide covers what Tall Boy and Widevision cards are and the best ways to store them.

MTG Jumpstart Cube: Black Spotlight

By Serena L.

Hey, guys! It’s Serena!

It’s time for the third color on our list for the Jumpstart cube. This time, we’re covering black, my personal favorite. To go over the basics, we’re doing 20 card packs, each with three rares, at least one piece of removal, six basic lands, and an Evolving Wilds. We’ve previously covered white and blue.

MTG Jumpstart Cube: Blue Spotlight

By Serena L.

Hi guys! It’s Serena back again!

This time we’re diving into the four blue packs in my Jumpstart cube. As a refresher, each of these twenty card packs will have 6 basic lands, an Evolving Wilds, at least one piece of removal and 3 rares. Since we’re in blue, I decided things like Counterspell and other counter magic worked for the removal slot. If you want a to take a look at the four packs in white, you can find them in this article.

MTG Jumpstart Cube: Basics and White Spotlight

By Serena L

Hey guys! It’s Serena, back with something a bit different!

Today, we’re going to dive into the concept of Jumpstart. But more specifically, a Jumpstart Cube! I created a total of 20 different 20-card decks with the intent that, just like regular Jumpstart, each player will shuffle two of these decks together. My current Jumpstart cube is made with four decks of each color, each with a different theme. Some of the themes are based on creature type, some on a given keyword, and some on other factors. Now, on to the general construction of my cube.

Infinite Power! A Trazyn the Infinite EDH Deck Tech

By Serena

Hey guys! Serena, back at it again with another commander deck tech! This time we’re talking about Trazyn the Infinite from the Warhammer 40k Necron precon. While I fully admit I know little of 40k lore, Trazyn himself is an interesting commander who gains all activated abilities of artifacts in your graveyard. This ability really lets him live up to his epithet, which can lead to several variations of combo-killing the table, either through damage or through mill.
