How do you store your upgrade cards? Are there special deck boxes made in this size? All of mine are sleeved, so maybe I shouldn't feel bad just rubber-banding them.

I won a card box at a local tournament. I just rubber band mine together and store them in the box. Before that box, I just kept them in a slot in my Plano tray.
I use standard 9 card plastic sheets which I put in a binder, all sorted out nicely. Makes it so much faster to switch squadrons mid evening.
I got a couple Business Card binders at a dollar store, the pockets are a bit longer than the upgrade cards but it works pretty well. I use to keep them grouped by type in the small ziplock baggies that the bases & peg came in.
I use business card binder pages (10 slots per page). They are a bit bigger than the cards so you can fit several copies in each sleeve. Works great.
Edited by CptnhalfbeardThanks for the tips! I suppose I have an old Star wars miniatures cardboard box that I could use. They look almost identical to the ones they give out at X-wing tournaments.
Side-load monster binder in 4 or 9 pocket configuration. Not as slippery as the ultra pros and holds cards in sleeves really good. I dont keep duplicate pilots, or more than 4 of a non-unique upgrade, and one 20 page 9 pocket binder fits everything very well.
I use a box, that bought in a store of packs, greettings.
I've made my own, but the best store bought solution I have seen is these
The deck slot that is horizontal is just the right size for holding vertical mini cards then the upright slot holds pilot cards.
I use a special limited edition collectors plastic bag from FFG.

^^^^^^... that's right!
I second the side loading Monster Binder, they're not cheap, but they're top notch. You can easily fit them side by side in stacks of two, even with sleeves.
Edited by LordtwannI have 100 count white cardboard box that I store my big bases in. It also is where I store my upgrade cards, they are separated into the small baggies that come with the expansions sets. They are also sleeved.
I use Ultra-Pro 12 pocket binder sheets. Ultra-Pro says they're for stickers, but I know better.

I've been looking at these. Do they fit the sleeved cards?

The 12-pocket sticker pages, yes. The 20-pocket tobacco card pages no; they don't fit the unsleeved cards. I'm not sure about the 20 pocket coin pages, but I have a feeling the pockets would be too short.

Yeah I had seen that the tobacco/coin/business card sleeves weren't well suited for it. Thanks for the info, as I can't seem to find them in a local store and I needed to know if they work before I order a box of 100.

I use this, works a treat. I scored one of the plastic dividers (longways) and folded it at a right angle - this fits snugly in the horizontal compartment to separate the two sets of upgrade cards.
I can post a photo if needed.
Edited by Ghost DancerI currently use Ultra Pro 4 - Pocket side loading binders for pilots and upgrades... the side loading pages rock socks off and the binders are super compact for easy transport!

You might try shopping at stores targeting another hobby. I pick up mine at the friendly local sports collectable store (FLSCS) where they sell them by the box, by a single sheet, or any point between. They have a sliding scale for total number of pages purchased, so when I splurge for some more A-wings, I also go down and drop a couple bucks for some 9-pocket pages for the pilots and 12-pocket pages for the upgrades. That reminds me, I'll need to get some binder sheets before next week when Rebel Aces drops.
