Species Collector With Extra Binder Slots

As some of you know I’m doing an English and Japanese Gastly Grand Master set that includes the TCG cards as well as extras that fit in a standard card binder and keeping it to only officially licensed product outside of vintage fake cards and modern parody cards.

What I’m curious about is items categories that I might be missing. Listed below are categories I currently have accounted for and if you have any you can think to add I’m all ears. My goal is to have this Ultra Pro Vivid 12 Pocket as full as I can get it.

  • English mainline cards
  • Japanese mainline cards
  • Topps TV series
  • Topsun
  • Cardass
  • Amada
  • Merlin stickers
  • Burger King promo
  • GB Bros Mini Cards
  • Poker playing cards
  • Artbox lenticular and sticker
  • Daiichi Pan Decochara Seals
  • Meiji get card
  • Vintage fakes
  • Modern parody cards

I believe many items that pop up with the search “Gastly menko” on eBay may fit inside a standard binder, but I’m not sure since I don’t own any of them.

Here is a sampling of some of them:

Forgot to add those, thank you! Those are on my radar as well and those coin style ones, Pogs, and coins are the only thing that even remotely makes me consider a three ring binder vs putting them in the main binder since they have specialty pages.

Don’t forget the phone cards! Great post here about them

Doesn’t look like a single Gastly in the lot unfortunately

My tired eyes saw Arbok and took it as Ghastly. SORRY!

It’s okay…I didn’t want a phone card anyway… kicks rocks

postcards are also easily trimmable to fit into two slots!! and when in doubt, you can always make your own art :slight_smile:

You mentioned the “Meiji get card” but I’m not sure what that is. If that’s different from this then here’s another one for you to add :slight_smile:

No problem.
It may also be helpful to search terms in Japanese if you aren’t already, ゴース シール tends to bring up some stickers as well. (Nissui stickers, Top stickers, various Meiji stickers.)

Searching ニッスイ ゴース (Nissui), トップ ゴース (Top), or 明治 ゴース (Meiji) also returns some useful results, though again I don’t know the exact sizes of these.

I guess I have to add a no modification note just for you haha good idea but definitely won’t be altering anything to fit and really trying to keep as much as possible to actually licensed products. I’m going to be adding some slot fillers in pages where there are less than 12 items in a product line that doesn’t pair with another so I’ll definitely be working on some Michi method stuff

Thats my bad, meant to put Meiji products not just get cards so thank you for that. That’s one that I’ve had my eye on. Love lenticular stuff

Perfect yeah I’ve been searching via “Meiji” etc so I’ll definitely use those as well. I ran into a measurement issue today with a 2018 Pokemon Center My 151 sticker I picked up on the 'bay that’s just shy of being the same size as a Beckett Shield. I’m sure there’s a clear description of the measurements somewhere but didnt even think to look. Will keep it anyway but unsure where

Hey if its yours its yours so do what thou wilt, but yeah, no slicing and dicing in this binder
