Hey everyone! As a recent card book collecting enthusiast, I wanted to share my experience with the various card books and pages I've used. I've been collecting small NCT cards since last November, and it's been quite an undertaking to slowly upgrade from one-frame to nine-frame card books!
✨ One-frame card book ✨
I bought my first grid card book at Indy for about 8 bucks. It has 60 card pages and is just the right size.
✅ Pros: small, portable, and cost effective.
❌ Cons: It's fragile, be careful when using it.

✨ Two compartment card book ✨
This card book comes with the purchase of the NCT Polaroid set and has a total of 72 card spaces (front and back).
✅ Pros: easy to carry, can insert cards front and back.
❌ Cons: The card pages are relatively small, so be careful when buying a card holder and try to choose a smaller one.

✨ Three compartment card book ✨
This one is also from the Indy family, costs about $10 and has 180 card spaces (front and back). But there are also loose-leaf 3-compartment card books on Taobao that I've used before and they feel good and have great card spaces.
✅ Pros: easy to carry around.
❌ Cons: The card pages are very small, usually cards can only be put naked, easy to damage, bigger cards can't be put in. (Not really recommended)

✨ Four-panel card album ✨
This is the one I recommend. You should be able to find it by searching for the keyword “A5 card book” on Soyobo. You can choose/match the number of pages (four, two, one) and the number of cards, and it's a movable page, so you can change the order of the cards at any time, which is very convenient. The quality is also very good! The price is also good!
✅ Pros: easy to carry, good quality, proper capacity.
❌ Cons: Can't think of any bad things about it for now~

✨ Nine-panel card album ✨
This one is also recommended, it's easy to find on eBay, “A4 Card Book” or “Nine Grid Card Book” should be ok. This is a large capacity, you can choose different widths, such as one inch, two inches and so on. The card space is very good, can put down most of the rectangular size cards. This one also has movable pages, so it's easy to use for storage. I got both of my two two-inch ones on someplace, and the one-inch one is from NCT's Perimeter. There are also a lot of different brands to choose from for this size of card page, I would recommend the ones from meet or ultrapro. Nine Gauge isn't like other smaller
