FOUR 12-Pocket Collector's Portfolio

DeckTutor FOUR is hands down the best binder out there for Magic: the Gathering cards. I've used them all, but after using the FOUR it's the only game in town. For any serious player/collector, being able to organize your collection via playsets is so brilliantly simple, it's amazing it took this long to develop a binder to do just that. The version 2.0 (which this is) uses side-loaded pockets which protect your cards from inadvertently falling out of traditional top-loaded pockets. Construction is stellar. The binder itself is sturdy, the pages seem very resilient to tear and easily support penny-sleeved/perfect fit protected cards. I put all my collection in perfect fit sleeves before putting in the binder and I couldn't be happier. Price is higher than other binders, that's due to the construction and the fact these are all made in Italy and shipped to the US and sold via distributors. If you're serious about protecting and displaying your investment, don't worry about the cost and use the FOUR. After all, why skip on your binder if you're storing playsets of dual lands?

I just purchased my second DeckTutor FOUR 12-Pocket Collector's Portfolio for $19.95 (fulfilled by Amazon Prime/One day free shipping). I ordered the first one a year ago in May 2015 for about $36. After reading some of the concerning reviews here I was very worried to receive a cheap “counterfeit” as well. After a quick inspection and comparison with my older binder (press-stamped “Made in Italy” on the inside bottom right corner of the back cover) I believe I “most likely” received the original product (or a very great looking high quality copy of the original binder). It came in a “fancy” looking black cardboard box and was additionally sleeved in a plastic “jacket” (similarly to what you get for Digipak CDs or DVDs). All the pages seem to be in perfect shape. I didn’t see any “miscut” pages or additional plastic layers as described previously by one of the reviewers here either. I use Konami Ultra-Pro new standard sleeves for my MTG cards and the pockets do get a little tight over time due to the increased card load. But nothing really to worry about unless your are planning to store multiple cards in one pocket. Overall an (almost) perfect binder for your card collection!

I bought this binder based on this review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d20i2cy5bn8 It's a great binder, but I didn't give 5 stars because the pockets are a little tight for me using KMC Hyper Mattes and Ultra Pro Pro Matte sleeves, the binding already seems a little loose, there is no strap, and the cover is easily scratched and dented. That being said, I would buy it again, because it just looks so nice and cool!

It is indeed the best binder ever made. Being able to put your play sets in one row is amazing. With having four columns its a bit wider then the other binders but it fits to my medium sized backpack perfectly. Side-loading pockets is also a good feature to have. It has hard cover with good quality pages and pockets. To avoid counterfeit, check for the products with item value around 50$ (in before amazon discount).

I was really excited to get this binder. A way to present my cards in a playset configuration is something I have wanted for 20 years. However, the quality of the inner pages is very poor. May are miscut, and others are torn or have jagged edges. They catch on cards and are super tight and hard to move cards in and out if the binder. After getting a Star city X4 binder I was really made aware of how poor the pages are int his portfolio. If at all possible I would return this one and use the money for another Star City X4, which is a far superior product. But, I am outside the return window and cannot get my money back. Don;t be like me, do not purchase this binder. The only reason I do not give this 1 star is that it will actually hold cards snugly for travel

A few things to keep in mind, as this is one of the best binders out there: Pro: Well made, well built. Does not look like it can crease cards. Spots for four cards!! Playsets finally get the treatment they deserve. Nice rubbery/pleather finish on binder. Feels like an upscale piece. Cons: Slightly larger than a normal binder, much wider. A little tight for backpacks A little pricey, but nothing compared to those dual lands you are protecting. Barely fits a card in sleeves. Hypermats and perfect fits are fine. Some of the older Ultra Pros will not work. Double Sleeved cards will not fit. Fix- this binder needs little fixing, although a little more room between cards for sleeved cards would be nice

I bought this for my husband because he was running out of room in his binder for his MTG cards. He loves it. He stores is more expensive cards in this so that means he trusts it to protect them. It is durable and easy to slide the cards in and out. I plan on purchasing him another one once his is all filled up. (That wont be long...lol)
