Yes, if you use the right kind. Choose binders with side-loading pockets (so cards can't slip out) and, importantly, acid-free, PVC-free pages — cheap PVC pages can chemically damage cards over time. Sleeve valuable cards before putting them in pockets for extra protection, and don't overstuff a binder, which can press and curve cards. Store binders upright, not stacked flat under weight. Binders are great for organizing sets and browsing a collection, but for your most valuable cards, rigid holders or graded slabs offer better protection against pressure and bending. Quality binders and pages are available at most card shops.
