FAQs
What is the capacity of the small Zipster Binder?
The capacity depends on the type of pocket pages used and how many are inserted. Generally, it can hold a moderate collection, typically up to 50-100 pages depending on their thickness.
Can I use pages other than Dragon Shield brand?
Yes, the binder is designed to be compatible with most standard-sized pocket pages from other reputable brands.
Is this binder suitable for grading cards?
This binder is designed for storage and transport of raw cards. It is not intended for storing or protecting graded cards, which require specific hard cases.
How do I clean the exterior?
Wipe the exterior with a soft, slightly damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and then wipe clean with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
What are the dimensions of the small binder?
While specific dimensions are not provided, it is designed to be compact for portability, suitable for standard card sizes and a limited number of pages.
Does it come with pocket pages?
No, this product is for the binder itself. Pocket pages are sold separately and need to be purchased to hold your cards.
Can this binder protect against water damage?
The zipper closure offers protection against dust and minor spills, but the binder is not waterproof. It should be kept away from excessive moisture.
Troubleshooting
Binder does not close properly.
Ensure no pages or cards are obstructing the zipper track. Check for any bent page protectors or foreign objects caught in the zipper. Do not force the zipper.
Zipper feels stiff or difficult to move.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush. Rub a pencil lead (graphite) along the zipper teeth to act as a dry lubricant. Avoid using oils or liquids that could damage the material.
Cover seems slightly warped.
Place the binder flat under a light weight (e.g., a heavy book) in a temperature-controlled environment for a few hours. Avoid prolonged exposure to heat.
Pages do not lay flat.
Ensure the binder is not overfilled. Distribute pages evenly. Check that the pocket pages themselves are not damaged or creased.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
