Solid binder but with some issues, definitely not worth $80
Saw this buried deep into ultra pros pro binder section. Was curious as it had no reviews and googling this also pulls up 0 reviews from anyone. Intriguing as this looks to be ultra pros most premium binder currently available by a wide mile. I ordered it and have stuffed it full of cards so this is my review for those who happen to find this. First off, the binder build quality is good, solid overall construction and the alcantara aka ( microfiber ) outer layer feels quite lovely but it has a very pungent smell of adhesive and plasticizers which can be nauseating. The binder loses this smell after a few days of off gassing. The zipper, tab and rail assembly by far the weakest link of this binder. Overall very flimsy and feels incredibly cheap, probably could tear it off quite easily if you tried. Zipper itself and rails and are 100% plastic and not even a high quality plastic. Though quality doesn’t feel good it does zip quite smoothly and doesn’t get stuck at any point of travel so that is a positive. The color of this binder significantly less vivid than the product stock photos, not anywhere close to that level of vividness. Which to me is a good thing as on my display the binder looks neon blue. It’s quite a pleasing shade of royal blue with faint black waves as a secondary color. The size of this binder is quite good, would consider it more on the compact side than anything for the card count it boasts. Will struggle to fit into small or medium safes so good to keep that into consideration. The zipper and tab is very close to the pages, at first I thought this was an oversight in design but its not, looks like it touches but there is a 7mm gap and the pages never actually touch. The interior of the binder is where Im quite torn. The first major issue I find is the top and bottom of the inside of the binder is typical ultra pro polyurethane… A real bummer, especially considering the product page advertised microfiber interior and exterior which is the main reason I got this. This will be the biggest deal breaker for most people. The pages also are very strange. They’re extremely tight, usually ultra pro sleeves fit cards no problem with perfect fit and penny sleeves on front and back yet these pages idk if they’re more thick or what but they are tough to get your cards in the whole way without seriously bending them. The pages feel great, no question they’re excellent quality so I guess thats the trade off is your cards are harder to put in. Overall it’s a 6/10 binder. Not bad at all, quite nice actually but the lack of soft microfiber interior lining and the uncomfortably tight pages has me questioning why this is $80, this is a $35 binder at best. Considering the creme of the crop card binder from gem loader in europe costs $60 and features real leather and microfiber.
