Matérial needed ;

• 1 Binder : Buy one with a zipper to help protect the cards when the kids take them out  of the house (school,friends,ect.). One binder will hold approximately 6 series and cost about 6.-7.$ at walmart
• Pocket pages : each page contain 9 pocket in which you can put 18 cards back to back. this will protect the cards better and hold them in place tighter.Since they are not expensive and you will need a lot if you have decided to build a real collection then buy at least (chaotic) 5 packs (Yu-gi-oh )20 packs of 10 pages for 1.$ a pack in any dollard store. 
• Card sleeves : To put your cards in it before you put them in the pocket pages.Tip :put the cards head first in them then bottom first in the pages this way your cards will be fully protected.Some of those cards are worth a lot so you need to protect your investment.Those often cost .79¢ for 100 so buy at least 10 packs to start.
• Plastic page protector : Those are to protect your List front or checklist that you will put at the beginning of every series. (Chaotic ) buy 1 ,(Yu-gi-oh) buy 5 packs at 1.$ each in any dollard store.
•  Paper Sheets : To write down your checklist and the front of every of your series. A pack of 100 will do the job at 1.$ in any dollard store.

Now you have in hand all the material you need to start collecting.
