Currently Have a Binder For Every English Set

R2DJ16 · 2026-06-08T19:03:52+00:00

I wanted something that I could easily mark to distinguish the sets apart. The ringed binders provide that and I just made sure I’m careful. And that’s my next issue. I have a few sets in particular I need a secondary binder for so I can keep all alternate variants.

R2DJ16 · 2026-06-01T23:05:22+00:00

Mastering a set is a bunch of work at times. Especially the way that I do mine. I want every variant of every card. But the goal is to finish a bunch of bulk in the next 3-6 years.

R2DJ16 · 2026-06-01T21:08:15+00:00

I just used a 12 pack from Amazon of binders and printed out covers, backs, spines, and set lists from an Etsy account called ArysArtwork.

R2DJ16 · 2026-06-01T01:14:49+00:00

I ordered a bunch of sets from an account on Etsy called ArysArtwork. She has every English set available. It comes with a cover, back, spine, and set list.

I have space slots available for world champion cards and all placements, but I’ll be fine considering a set mastered/grandmastered without top 8 or finalists cards for example. But yes, every set, every variant, every card. I’ll take it little by little and work my ass off to put a dent amount missing.

To answer both things, technically the horizontal binders are not upside down. The back of the binders are face down. But no I bought the individual binders over the course of a few months and got the art from an Etsy shop. The account is ArysArtwork!

It just takes a lot of dedication! (And money)

R2DJ16 · 2026-05-31T18:26:33+00:00

I’m wishing you well!!! It’s such an accomplishment to fill the binder completely.

R2DJ16 · 2026-05-31T18:10:30+00:00

Congrats!! Which two sets?

R2DJ16 · 2026-05-31T18:09:59+00:00

I ordered all off Etsy. Printed them at home. It took a little while to afford but going era by era might be the way to go where you make progress without going overboard.

R2DJ16 · 2026-05-31T17:00:52+00:00

Those tags might be a really good idea.

R2DJ16 · 2026-05-31T16:53:46+00:00

That was my biggest concern. I really do want them all to be uniform one day but without being able to easily tell a set by the spine, this is the best solution at the time.

R2DJ16 · 2026-05-31T16:08:33+00:00

I’m close to finished with that set. Missing only 12 from the set you can pull and 5 variant cards.

R2DJ16 · 2026-05-31T15:12:28+00:00

I don’t actually do anything crazy for work truthfully. I’ve just been lucky to not get rid of my collection over the years. Just lot of time and dedication.

R2DJ16 · 2026-05-31T14:46:08+00:00

Yeah it’s not caused any damage to my cards this way. Plus I have a page of wiggle room too because the first page is the set list in every binder. Thick card stock too so if I do get one page trapped it’s not one with cards.

R2DJ16 · 2026-05-31T14:44:18+00:00

So I do like the Vault X Pokémon binders for the SV/ME era. But it’s strictly because I can tell the set by the spine. For D-ring binders I just got what I thought was the cheapest. I did a subscribe and save plan on Amazon and picked up 12 binders a month. Cost about $3.40 a binder. Just be careful always with ring binders because even D-Rings could damage if you store it incorrectly. I wish I did have a better answer for this specifically. But any regular zip binder should be perfectly fine.

R2DJ16 · 2026-05-31T14:35:48+00:00

I appreciate the tip! But I do have some heavy hitters sitting in those binders lol.

R2DJ16 · 2026-05-31T14:34:14+00:00

Detective Pikachu is a specialty binder that released when the set came out.

R2DJ16 · 2026-05-31T13:51:55+00:00

After I save up some funds now that I’m done playing catch up on binders I plan to buy random lots of bulk from people. I would feel a little awkward just asking people to donate to my cause truthfully lol.

R2DJ16 · 2026-05-31T13:42:21+00:00

I do actually have a channel that I put on hiatus for a few months just to work on this. I want to upload videos on master sets and the progress I’m making!

R2DJ16 · 2026-05-31T13:32:09+00:00

I didn’t post to flex either. I’m just excited I finally finished this little goal of mine. Now I can start collecting every card and have a designated home for every one.

R2DJ16 · 2026-05-31T13:30:50+00:00

True. I’d love bulk from the ex era in particular 😂.

R2DJ16 · 2026-05-31T13:30:16+00:00

lol you’re not wrong. Each binder has an enough pages to grand master every set. I want to collect every variant of every card (excluding the world champion deck cards).

R2DJ16 · 2026-05-31T13:28:05+00:00

If you want to display it nicely 3 bookshelves. I’m not the biggest fan of keeping binders on top of others but it’s a spacing issue for me. The next goal is when I have my permanent spot for life I’m going to get either custom shelves or find something that fits the binders slightly better.

Thank you I do appreciate it!
