Binder setup
9-pocket binder
3 pages
dual-sided · 54 slots for 48 cards
- Classic 3×3 layout — rows read like the checklist
- Buy side-loading pages so cards can’t slide out
12-pocket binder
2 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: run each card with its reverse holo beside it (the default above), or keep reverse holos as their own section at the back — the toggle shows both. Secret rares follow #48 either way.
Free printable placeholders
One placeholder per pocket — number, name, rarity and reverse-holo tag — sized 2.5″×3.5″, 9 per page. Print, cut along the dashed lines, and every empty pocket keeps its place until the real card arrives.
