All-Language Binders

Now that I’ve decided to collect all-language TCG slows, I’ve come up with a new binder system as well. I’m having a lot of fun with it :star_struck:

Volumes 1, 2, 3, and 4

I ordered four 12-card pink binders with pink pages to hold the all-language collection. I hand-painted the numbers on the side, as well as the designs on the front.

  • Vol 1: 1997 – HGSS
  • Vol 2: HGSS - SWSH
  • Vol 3: SWSH - SV
  • Vol 4: Whatever comes next :eyes:

Binder Organization

There are many ways to organize a binder, so I came up with some guidelines for my collection:

  • Cards are sorted by artwork, then by set, then language, then print edition
  • Artworks are sorted chronologically; with some wiggle room for promos and language-exclusives to help the pages line up nicely
  • Reprinted artworks are consolidated, but only within their volumes (so the reprints from 20th anniversary will not be consolidated into Fossil)
  • Empty spaces are used to aesthetically align cards and provide buffer between different artworks and sets

So far, the first page is actually the only complete page:

Placeholders

I made my own custom placeholders to keep track of the cards I’m missing. It took a long time to fill them all out, but I’m quite happy with how they look!
