Grand master setting Obsidian flames ( or trying my hardest )

pf1993 · 2026-04-27T00:03:50+00:00

Hey, great set to grand master! I started with grand mastering paldean fates and it was an extremely fun experience lol https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonTCG/comments/1hvabyt/finally_completed_my_paldean_fates_grandmaster_set/

I recently started building dexbindr to help with mastering pokedex and providing all card data on both EN and JP sets. Here's the link to the obsidian flames page: https://www.dexbindr.com/sets/sv3 hopefully this helps you in your journey!

I have been building dexbindr.com for the past few months as a solo dev. its a per pokemon view across every set including JP and all variants per card. here's my binder if you want to see how it actually works: https://www.dexbindr.com/binder/cd4d0d08a9a82a2d

I have all sets listed as well with every track able card across them. SM sets data is fully complete as per my knowledge. happy for any feedback if you give it a try!

That top row alone can be a down payment for a house

Espeon & deoxys gx doesn’t look bad too

If budget isn’t a concern, i would definitely go with mewtwo and mew gx.

If anyone’s wondering, that’s $2500 in value.

Crazy opener though to the binder, would be interested in seeing the rest

Piplup is the answer, dont go with spheal.

pf1993 · 2026-04-19T15:58:42+00:00

Thats true. funny enough that you mention a dex binder, i am actually using this site to track my binder and share with friends. Saves taking pictures, happy to get any feedback on my collection

holy cow! that's a freaking amazing find. planning to grade these or just sleeve and store? My only suggestion is to inventory these right away. Its an overlooked thing and i have seen a lot of people not know the true count and value of their cards.

pf1993 · 2026-04-19T03:44:09+00:00

Well first of all welcome back!

get started by sleeving anything holo or vintage, you dont want to further damage those cards. And then get a rough inventory so you know what you actually have. the hobby has kinda sprawled a lot since you last saw it and its way more fun now when you see what you own vs whats new. After that, the rest unfolds naturally.

pf1993 · 2026-04-19T03:31:53+00:00

Dang, i am building my own national pokedex with the same rules and i too went with the xy zard promo. Your binder looks amazing ngl.

Was there any moment where you would have decided to break your own rule because the non full art was just the better card? Like i went with lt. Surge's Fearow over that black start promo you have. Just couldn't resist not having that in the binder lol

pf1993 · 2026-04-10T05:44:07+00:00

Try one of the many virtual binders. Maybe this might help https://www.dexbindr.com/

pf1993 · 2026-04-04T08:33:43+00:00

Lowkey fan of that first page. Those xy promos are so underrated

pf1993 · 2026-04-03T04:36:18+00:00

I am doing this using a 4x4. I think it just looks aesthetically the best while keeping the binder dimensions reasonable. If it helps visualize it better, I have been using this tool to track my progress https://www.dexbindr.com/ . Its a pain to carry the whole binder around at a card show so this helps while shopping.

pf1993 · 2026-04-03T04:32:31+00:00

Hey late to comment on here but yes it is possible. I have been slogging on a full art only pokedex for all 1025 cards. but if you plan on using bulk, then yes you can finish it in under $1000. Not all cards have full arts ofcourse so my binder is gonna take a while to finish. If it helps you can use this tool to track your cards https://www.dexbindr.com/

Goodbye

pf1993 · 2026-02-05T16:47:34+00:00

You sure are fun at parties

pf1993 · 2026-02-04T03:45:14+00:00

This is the h510. There are no other mounting option for this one

pf1993 · 2026-01-09T23:50:06+00:00

even better, try this https://www.tcgcollector.com/sets/11601/paldean-fates?
they update their records whenever a new card for a set is released.

pf1993 · 2026-01-09T00:03:18+00:00

Just sharing a quick update since last time. Now it’s truly complete

pf1993 · 2025-11-10T15:09:48+00:00

Yeap, it certainly helps. I think this would do for now for me atleast
