> [@sandmantheenless](#): > > Great collection! Are going to grade any of these? I get the appeal of graded cards and the third party confirmation is nice for preservation/resale but I’m not really a fan of graded cards cause they take up so much more space and my space is already limited. So unless I’m planning on selling it I won’t get it graded. The cards in the pictures are all recent additions for my personal collection so they’ll stay ungraded for now. 😊 ---

Small update, decided to bite the bullet and bought 100 binders so I can store each individual set in its own binder. I had them in big ultra pro binders but I think this will make for a neater solution in the long run. Here’s what arrived at my doorstep this morning: ![](http://i.imgur.com/PU4Erfy.png) And this is how part of it looks like in the bookshelves: ![](http://i.imgur.com/4Vz5Jbf.png) I plan on making neat spine labels but I need to find me some logos of the Japanese sets which is a bit of a challenge, so in the meantime I’ve put some placeholder labels in the binders so I can at least know which binder is which set lol I should also be getting a big package from Japan again sometime in the near future. ---

Also got a Hoopa playmat now. Figured any self-respecting collector should have at least one playmat so I decided to go with the Hoopa one. ![](http://i.imgur.com/pkOm28P.png) ---

After seeing his thread SuperSaiyanAmpharos gave me an idea to start photographing my binders/sets individually as collection highlight posts.

Just a quick little addition, finally have a non-glossy pikachu promo from the Easily Understand How to Play Pokémon Cards magazine.
