StandardLayout 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 #17 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.
