Took this Pic awhile back waiting for a battlestation bread. Nothing fancy but gets the job done. Had a nicer setup in the spare bedroom before my spawn was born. Hoping to finish off the basement in the next year or so and have a dedicated area.

I'd like to get some solid state pins, but the pinball market is red hot right now..

I always buy my games non working to get them for a good deal, then I repair them, Really helps, and most of the games don't fight back when I repair them. That being said, there are games that fight back hard.

>sag
the weight of shit on top of them idk how else to say it other than the pages are sagging / bowing downward
When you store your binders on their side and have stuff on top of them, the weight on top even with double sleeves etc can cause cards to bend and warp which kinda defeats the point in binders.
>slip
when they slip sideways and create the "stairs" effect you can see in the image it can cause imprints of the pages or other cards outlines etc on the card or even rub off artwork etc
jsut want your cards to be safe anon

Trueeee that's a good point thank you. Thankfully only my least valuable cards are in the big binders. My prized cards are on top in the small binders. But I will change this now and sit them all upright.

I'm so happy. I feel gay for even considering stuff like this but I'm so excited to look at furniture and actually have space and money to buy it. I'm gonna make sure my TV setup kicks ass and isn't audio cucked. Any recs for fairly minimal yet capable AV receiver that supports newer standards like VRR and all that jazz? I mostly plan on playing must retro stuff through an OSSC + Retrotink2K until the Retrotink4K drops.

Glad I bought mine when I did but I definitely wish I had more! Unless I get lucky and find an absolutel steal I'm priced out of every pin I have an interest in buying.
