What are you doing to store your upgrade cards? I'm currently using a couple of rows in a Plano case, but finding it way too disorganized for my taste. Hoping there are some community ideas before I try and re-invent the wheel.

Thanks for your feedback!

I just use the storages things they sell for Magic, the cards are smaller tough

business card sleeve pages, they have 10 pockets per page, and can fit several copies in each pocket.

I've been storing all my cards in a normal card binder. This works great for pilots, but the smaller upgrade cards are loose and fumble around in there. SO bad in fact that I've actually had some fall out (Lost 5x cluster missiles that way! Arghh!)

What I decided to do was to use some sleeves, but I cut them about 75% of the way from the top... put the small card in there, sideways, and then it slides into a normal card slot and the revamped sleeves holds it in place perfectly.

Ultra Pro makes 12 pocket binder pages (for stickers) that fit the mini cards pretty well. A 16-pocket (4x4) page would be perfect, but I don't think it exists. Don't get the 15-pocket tobacco card sized pages, they're about 1/16" too narrow.

A FLSCS (Friendly Local Sports Collectable Store) has them available for individual purchase for $0.10 or $0.15 ea., with a price break at 25 pages (I think).

One of the local players uses index card boxes because they're a cheap and easy solution, and make sorting easy. I thought it was a clever idea. I myself stick them in one of the smaller trays from the container (http://www.harborfreight.com/8-bin-portable-parts-storage-case-93927.html) that holds my large and Epic ships. As my collection grows I can move them into one of the larger ones and make dividers for the different ship types.

I tried a business card folio, but I found them too difficult to get out of the pockets. I tore several of the pockets just getting the cards out. I ended up getting a small binder and putting regular nine-pocket trading card pages in it, with dividers for the various upgrade types. The cards fit nicely in sideways, and I can get about five copies on a stack now that they're sleeved as well. For the ones that I have a ton of, like Proton Torpedoes, you can get two stacks in a single pocket.

I've been using some of those sideloading deck boxes which have worked out great for me. They hold about 175 seleeved, and I throw some dividers in there to separate them by upgrade type.

I have mine in 4 sections in a plano case.

Section 1: secondary weapons. turrets, cannons, bombs, missiles, torpedoes, huge ship hard points (basically in order by the frequency with which I use each upgrade class)

Section 2: EPTs

Section 3: Astromechs and crew

Section 4: ship modifications (titles, modifications, system upgrades, and whatever you call those little cube upgrade cards for the huge ships)

Easy to remember and the cards are pretty evenly spaced between each section. The secondary weapons section is getting a little bit full but I'm thinking about taking some of the cards that I have way too many of and either put them in one of the core boxes where I keep all my extra number ID tokens, stands, duplicate unique pilots, shield/focus/evade/stress tokens and whatever other bits I have way too many of to ever need all of them available in my main storage container. I probably don't need 10 ion cannons, 14 proton torpedoes, 11 assault missiles, etc

I second a side loading deck box.

I bought one of these and really need a second.

I was trying to find one that would have more space, but no luck so far.

We use coin sleeves, as long as you don't use the top row it works amazingly well especially if you use normal sleeves for pilots

Ultra Pro Gamers Den deck box. They fit sleeved on their side with enough room for file tabs on top for easy sorting.

actually if you get the regular ultra pro 9 card sleeve pages they work really well. Put two upgrades in sideways into one card slot. they don't move around and you can fit 18 upgrades per page. On top of that the pilots fit perfectly as they are "normal" sized cards.

The ultra pro sheets also fit the cards in WITH card protectors on the cards. great for when you are making a quick list on the go. Just pull out the cards you need and you are good to go!

Thanks for all the great suggestions. I'm going to try a zipper close-able three ring binder with Ultra Pro 9 card sleeve pages. I'll post pictures with how it looks once I get everything in place.

This is the setup I use, though the pages are the ultra pro side loading ones for the upgrade cards. The set up for it might be a tad expensive, but it is worth the result

Here's what I use;

I used to organize them by type in a Plano, but I saw someone use these at a tournament and decided to copy their style.

I have 3; Black for Imperial pilots, Red for Rebels, and a Green one I use for all the little upgrade cards. When I was putting everything together, I organized all the cards and left room for everything that will come out for Rebel Aces/Wave 5, based on the number of copies of those SKU's I was planning on getting.

The binders for the pilot cards will still have plenty of room for future releases, but my upgrade binder is going to be getting towards the end of its capacity by the time Wave 5 and Rebel Aces gets put in there. Not that it matters, I'll just get a second one.

Ultimately, I like this idea, as it keeps everything much more visible for me to flip through. The strap that holds the book shut is nice, and the cards all load sideways into the sleeves. Speaking of sleeves, you can fit sleeved cards in these sheets, and the small upgrade cards can go in sideways, and each sleeve on the page will hold 2 of them.

After reading the last thread like this on here, I got one of these too. It works great!

I went to the ultra pro books and I'll never go back to anything else. I did go to a nine pocket book for each faction and I have three four pocket books for the upgrade cards. This really helps alleviate contention when two sides are building their squads at the same time.

Just to expand on my above post about the Ultra Pro Binders, I keep two copies of each unique card in there as well, so when my wife and I are putting lists together, we have everything we need in the event of some kind of mirror match scenario.

Makes it easier for packing everything up for tournaments where we'd have to have both physical copies of the cards.

Looking sharp! Those are making me jealous / not going to lie.

Will they fit in these sleeved with FFG sleeves? If so I'm buying some this instant, lol.

I am also using rows in my Plano case. Yay Plano!

I got some of the side loading pro card holders, took a soldering iron with a flat face, and ran it between half and 2/3 down the half way point. it holds the upgrade cards nicely, 18/page and it keeps them from flying around. With the solder, you can only fit 2 or 3 copies (snugly) on it (front and back)

Interesting, I will have to give this a try. Thanks for posting.
