What are the best binders and pages for sets?

I like to keep my sets that I am working on in binders. It makes for easier upgrading of cards and looking at them. At the moment I am using mostly random cheap binders. I’d like to buy some nice sturdy binders and high quality pages for all of them. I am working on high quality 70s and 80s sets so I am willing to pay up for quality binders and pages to keep the cards safe. Does anyone here have any preferences for brand or types of binders and pages for large sets?

    I use the ultra pro binders (see profile pic). I have noticed the binders I used as a kid (not sure what they were) are slightly larger and can hold a larger set, but the ultra pro will hold most things. A complete set of heritage including the high number series will just fit in ultra pro platinum pages (without the other inserts and parallels).

    I use cheap crappy binders from Sleeze Mart. They are awesome. I also buy Ultra pro pages from there too.

    I really like Avery.

    Main reason? Easy to open to place another page.

    Cheap binders are really tough to open and they can break.

    School is almost back - I got the Avery binders at Target - so they should be running a sale soon or now?

    I'm with Dan - Ultra pro pages are good.

    Any recommendations on some sort of cheap dust/clip cover for the binders? Everything I've found has been museum/archival grade and super expensive. I just want something that looks nice and keeps the dust off.

    These aren't cheap, but they're enclosed binders (and they used to send out periodic coupons for 15-20% off everything that someone used to post here): https://www.unikeep.com/binders-and-accessories/3-ring-binders/ You can't go wrong with Ultra Pro Platinum pages. When I get better organized, that's how I plan to store my high grade raw sets.

    IIRC, it takes two 1.5" binders to hold a 792 card set.

    I use Archival Methods binders with slip cover and ultra pro platinum 4 pocket pages with the cards in Card saver 1's, inside PSA perfect fit sleeves. It's not cheap, but I don't have 100 sets either. :)
