If you’re ever in a pinch for penny sleeves, 9-pocket pages or other trading card supplies, you can always pick some up at Daiso. Never heard of Daiso before? They’re an international retailer of Japanese-inspired products with over 6,000 stores worldwide and 100 in the US.
I happened to visit the local Daiso in San Diego and was surprised to see trading card supplies. Penny sleeves, 9-pocket binder pages, 4-pocket booklets, card boxes, and more. While I’ll stick to BCW and UltraPro for most of my card supplies, I ended up buying some mini card penny sleeves.
