      Seeing as the “Other Bakugan Stuff” Section no longer exists, I'll simply have to protest post it here.Anyway, something I'm sure a bunch of you have seen on the shelves of stores (Mostly in red, like every other Bakugan accessory...) Is the "Baku-Binder", a large cardboard binder that boasts that it can store 96 cards and contains three exclusive ability cards.Well, I finally picked one up for about $8 and here's what I have to say about it: It's not bad.bakuganbinder.jpgThe main problem with storing Bakugan Cards is that they are a larger format than every other TCG out there, meaning that they do not fit into standard card sleeves or sheets, ESPECIALLY the gate cards. The Bakubinder is quite tall compared to other binders, but the sleeves are large enough to hold even the gate cards comfortably. The only cards I had any trouble loading into the sleeves were the McDonald's cards, and that's because they're an even bigger format than the normal cards. The pages are a little delicate and might rip if mistreated, but otherwise they're okay. The cardboard binder comes with a plastic sleeve to stick the binder in, though it's only real function is to keep the binder closed and free of some scratches.Now the info card on the binder says it holds "96 cards", which is only the sum of two card sets which might not seem too exciting. However, if the cards are loaded both ways with a card facing both out the front and the back of eash sleeve (Like a normal person would do it) It actually holds twice that number. A whopping total of 192 cards, or four completed sets. That's a bit more like it, right? Two gate cards can easily slip into each pocket with little difficulty, so this matter is simple. Each page has eight pockets as opposed to other sheets that have nine. However, this is actually a clever thing as it allows the sets to be easily organized. Think about it: Each set has 48 cards and the cards have six possible colors, meaning there are eight cards of each color in each set. This means each color gets its own sheet (Or side of the sheet if doubling up) making organizing easy. Not bad!Also, there are the cards contained within the binder. The three ability cards are, of course, the three Books of Power, which are almost good. It also contains the corresponding "Throw" to the attribute (Dan's Throw in the Pyrus binder, for example). It then contains four seemingly random Gate Cards. Sometimes they can be rare like Whirlpool or in my case I got "Power Up" (Card 4/15a) in my Haos binder!As for cons, many of the cards inside aren't too exciting, the sheets themselves are a little delicate, and they're attached inside, meaning you cannot buy one binder and get additional sleeves, you'll have to actually buy more binders to hold more than 192 cards. Also, they load in 5 Pyrus binders for each 1 of the other attributes in the shipments, meaning it can be hard to find the binders in a type other than Pyrus (Which seems silly, seeing as they tell you to "Collect all 6"...)So, if you're looking for a way to cleanly store your cards which are organized by card set, these binders do the job quite nicely. They used to be pricey, but I've found them nowadays between $7-$10. Three binders hold all of the cards currently available (Assuming no HSP or duplicate cards). The casual collector can get one to store almost 200 of their favorite cards and get the Books of Power for their collections.

      Very organized indeed. But since no one gets a complete set, the colors get all mixed up. I did that and the pages got overloaded.

      Or you could do what I always do with collectible cards; leave spaces where you're missing cards. Very nice review Kohdok, but why isn't it still stickyed lol?

      Silly Sooners! I've finished both set No Letter and set B! I'm only one away from finishing C!So far, some of the gate cards that have been included have been rare, hard-to-find gate cards like Power Up, Whirlpool, Ethereas, and Bakugan Swap to name a few. Swap and Power Up were in the Haos Binder and Whirlpool and Ethereas were in the Pyrus one. The presence of Power Up (4/15a) seems to indicate that each attribute of binder contains the same set of Gate Cards...
