Binder setup
9-pocket binder
7 pages
dual-sided · 126 slots for 115 cards
- Classic 3×3 layout — rows read like the checklist
- Buy side-loading pages so cards can’t slide out
12-pocket binder
5 pages
dual-sided · a 216-pocket binder fits the whole master set
- One binder for everything — no volume 2
- 4 columns show full art rows beautifully
- Sleeve secret rares before they go in (double-sleeve the chase)
Every page, exactly as it should look
Layout strategy: base set in number order first, secret rares after #114, reverse holos as their own section at the back (badged RH above). Prefer them side-by-side with the regular print instead? Double the page counts.
