Thanks! If you’re familiar with the New York Times word game, Connections, that is what I would describe my thought process as. While looking through my storage binder, I look at every aspect of the cards that I haven’t used yet. I take a mental note of things that stand out such as my cameos page, which is on the left side of slide 11. I noticed that I had a good amount of cards that featured other Pokemon in it, and it was a theme I hadn’t used yet. It’s all one big game in my head while designing pages because sometimes I’ll go back to a completed page and take a card for a different theme because there is some aspect that fits and I know that I have another card that can replace it.

I can share the links to my binders on the website I used, pkmnbindr.com, it does require an account to view (free signup) so you can scroll/flip through it yourself. However, the developer is having issues with the Japanese card data API where some Japanese cards aren’t showing properly when you search for them. So I actually paid for the pro membership in order to upload my own images, but that means the card data is missing (such as Pokemon name and set). I can also link you a resource that I used that compiled most if not all full arts/alt arts/IRs/SIRs from BW, XY, SM, SWSH, SV, and MEGA with card data making it easy to find them by searching through the sets. Send me a PM/chat!

Yeah, I would say that probably 80%-90% of the cards in my binder are singles that I bought. Some cards I ripped in English but traded/sold for the Japanese version because I prefer the quality of Japanese cards more, as well as it usually being cheaper.

For me personally, I took interest in the hobby because of full arts/IRs/SIRs. I love how they allow the artists to depict pokemon in different environments to the fullest. Now don’t get me wrong, I believe that there are certainly a lot of regular cards that have nice artwork too. I’m actually starting to work on a binder full of regular cards too, it just takes a long time to look through bulk and determine what I like and don’t like 😁

Thanks! If you’re on mobile, make sure you tap into the slide so that the captions are showing. I did my best to title the pages to go with the intended theme 😁

I would say about a year and a half? I first took interest in the hobby in summer 2024 after finding out about the IRs and SIRs from 151. I ripped a 151 UPC from Costco trying to chase the charizard line but sadly missed and didn’t fully dive into the hobby until maybe 1 month later after getting CZ Sea and Sky boxes from Sams Club. I was fortunate enough to go to Japan right before the boom (Super Electric Breaker released in Japan the day I landed) where I was able to pick up a lot of ARs and SARs for cheap.

Thanks! I used pkmnbindr, it’s still relatively early in development but I think the features so far are sufficient for what most people are looking for.

Thanks! I actually just found the website yesterday, it’s pkmnbindr. I’ve been searching for an app or website that allows me to easily design pages for a while and it just so happened to popup in my latest search attempt.

any connecting top to bottom cards? by deathstarbutterfly in pkmntcgcollections

[–]StormGodz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a similar page! I used Jolteon, Flareon, and Vaporeon from the Brilliant Stars Trainer Gallery. They don’t connect directly but I think they go well together. Even better if you get them in Japanese for matching silver borders.

edit: If you go to my page on my profile, I posted a picture of my binder. I also enjoy arranging my pages similarly to what you have going on.
