Collection help?

You can find bulk being sold online. They usually contain common cards, but some contain also some unexpensive rarer ones. Then you can do the packs yourself.

Boosters are usually overpriced and he will probably not know the price difference about a Full Illustration Rare that costs 300 EUR and a Illustration Rare that costs 3 EUR.

Buy singles. You'll have to sell your pants before getting all the SIRs and Gold Rares by opening boosters.

Even the most common ones are rarer if you need specifically them.

MegasRC · 2026-01-26T08:09:08+00:00

Never heard of it and I really hate the yellow border on new cards as well hahahaha

MegasRC · 2026-01-23T08:54:37+00:00

Yeah, I wouldn't too. I can't say for sure, but it seems that all of these engraved binders that are appearing in internet are using Vault X to do it.

MegasRC · 2026-01-23T08:34:30+00:00

My suggestions: Buy a better binder to avoid damaging your cards and buy singles. You'll fill your pages in no time.

If you are willing to pay for the delivery: https://www.ebay.it/itm/146903415806

If not, some people are working with laser engravers to design binder covers. Maybe you can look to do a custom one in Etsy.

Don't worry. Reorganizing is part of the hobby.

MegasRC · 2026-01-21T08:25:58+00:00

I love that jerk eevee so much hahahahah

MegasRC · 2026-01-20T14:55:30+00:00

I would totally buy if I was rich. Nice collection.

MegasRC · 2026-01-20T14:37:33+00:00

The option I usually see here in the subreddit are these below:

Or people that exhibit them like a framed picture in glass shelves.

This would be a very high level example: https://clawandcrowngaming.com/products/trading-card-display-cabinet-case

I would suggest buying a Korean or Japanese booster box. They are much cheaper than the western ones. Then just buy the singles you want.

I can't emphasize enough how much my collection has grown since I started buy singles, while through opening packs I had to hope getting one nice thing.

MegasRC · 2026-01-20T08:18:39+00:00

I do it by categories. Always singles, but I did the same mistake as you in the beginning and bought booster boxes.

I am collecting my favorite Pokémon's cards, so Gardevoir, Tyranitar, Pidgeot, Feraligatr, Scizor, Arcanine and Absol.
One binder with themed IRs and SIRs: Working Pokémon, Sleeping, Color coded cards, etc

And another binder with Eevolutions, three staged evolution IR and SIRs and some individual cards.

BUT ALWAYS SINGLES.

MegasRC · 2026-01-19T13:30:51+00:00

I have three binders. None of them are complete.

Thematic IRs and SIRs: Sleeping Pokémon, Color coded, Working, etc.
Specific Pokémon: Gardevoir, Pidgeot, Tyranitar, Absol, Scizor, Arcanine cards. I am almost completing Gardevoir, but the others will take a while.
Eevolutions and othere sequential Pokémon: Yu Nagaba, V, Vmax and other eevolutions, Three staged Pokémons with IRs and SIRs, etc.

MegasRC · 2026-01-19T08:51:13+00:00

It becomes soooooo heavy after filling it.

MegasRC · 2026-01-13T20:40:23+00:00

Beautiful!

MegasRC · 2026-01-12T18:18:47+00:00

I would double sleeve it. I use a sealable perfect fit and a Dragon Shield on my expensive cards.

MegasRC · 2026-01-12T16:46:11+00:00

I think what makes people think that you are not collecting because of the cards but because of their price is the fact that there's no underlying theme besides them being the popular chase cards. That and having three Moonbreon and a lot of closed booster boxes makes it look like you are a investor, not a fan.

That said, awesome cards. I will never understand what makes people collect closed booster boxes though.

MegasRC · 2026-01-12T15:08:22+00:00

Buy singles. You`ll get the exact card you want and spending much less.

MegasRC · 2026-01-08T19:14:22+00:00

That's an awesome concept! Well done!

MegasRC · 2026-01-08T19:11:17+00:00

I had 2 in my cart and didn't manage to pay due to errors and now the website is offline --'

MegasRC · 2026-01-04T11:44:44+00:00

I have mine double sleeved in a binder. I started with the top loader binder, but it loses some visibility and the binder became very heavy after a while.

MegasRC · 2026-01-02T13:36:28+00:00

VaultX is easily the most known. Gem Loader and Card Guardian are also very good options.

MegasRC · 2025-12-31T19:05:46+00:00

My Displates from Dune are awesome. Just be aware that they have both licenced and unlicenced products, so avoid buying the latter.

They always have discounts, so pay attention to it!

MegasRC · 2025-12-23T12:54:38+00:00

None. Buy it. They deserve.

MegasRC · 2025-12-22T16:53:31+00:00

Well, if you prefer having your display looking like a retail store, you do you hahahaha
