I think a big secret that people overlook is 4 pocket binders. Having 4 slots per page is kind of perfect for Pokémon cards because of things like V-Union's which look incredible in those binders. My 2 actual collection not for trade binders are 4 pocket binders and I can do some really fun stuff organizing them. Tag Team cards work beautifully in these binders too; I do 2 of each Pokémon in the Tag Team, the actual Tag Team card, and then a relevant Trainer card and always get compliments on those pages.
At the same time, 3x3 binders are nice if you collect specific Pokemon in all variants. In most cases, you have a regular card and a reverse, and only 1 Japanese version.
I always keep the good cards in the back. You gotta build up the hype! Especially if you're showing off your collection, no ones gonna appreciate the holos if they just saw multiple pages of hyper rares
I sandwich the lower tier cards in between higher tier cards. It starts off with a bang, lowers their expectations with holos, and then surprises them with more bangers 😆
4th option, If you collect specific Pokemon, organize the cards from oldest to newest. That's what I'm planning on doing with my Sneasel masterset and with my Weavile and Sneasler set once I complete those 2 as well.
i was going to say I have thought about putting cards in sleeves and grouping them in sets of evolutions with the 2nd or third evolution at the front showing off. 9 pockets on each page could mean 9 slots used for a good amount of pokemon cards. should be a nice way to group up and save a lot of spaces in the binder especially if you don't have a big binder immediately.
Great video Hunter. I've been collecting since 2015 and have finally become able to have those super fancy binders you mention at the start of the video. Thing is, they're a waste of money! Stay with the binders you showed at the start. There is virtually no difference in safety/aesthetics as long as they are both chilling on a shelf with an occasional opening. Liked, Commented and Subbed. Looking forward to joining you on the journey!
I personally love keeping my cards in set order. I'm a numbers girl so when they're not in order I get so confused and end up missing cards. Go was my first master set and it's so easy. The pulls are good and singles aren't crazy expensive. I recommend getting the large tins as I got amazing pulls!
I’m an organize by set kind of person too tbh. Any other way, and I could see myself missing cards by means of tracking. I don’t think I’ll ever have a complete Master Set or anything (I absolutely don’t make enough money for that), but it’s a nice way to keep my cards organized that works for me.
I use top loaders for my really good cards like my machamp v alt art from astral radiance, mewtwo vstar golden, mewtwo vstar rainbow and so on so on so on, so I think it would be a good idea to purchase a top loader binder, any recommendations for those???😅😊
The Pokémon go set it really fun to collect, I’m actually almost finished, then I’m gonna go for a master set, I only am missing the spark rainbow trainer and Blanche rainbow Trainer😊
I have a zip binder for things like holos and upwards in terms of rarity. Cards lower down I use the non zip vault x and just put them by type. Any card that's £15 upwards I'll put in a toploadrer and store in an elite trainer box.
Nice video and like your Master set explanation. Just watched a video last night for master set where all normal cards to trainer to secrets are in number order. Then all the secondary/RH/specials are placed in number order afterward. The stickies on the empties for missing cards is a great idea. Just finished ordering singles to complete SV base (just started collecting). Moving over to 151, but having horrible luck getting good cards for that one. Fingers crossed.
I do master sets but only of the vintage sets. I have most of the vintage sets complete in unlimited edition and one complete 1st edition set. Slowly knocking them not in a hurry. Newer sets are absurdly big with the reverse holos of each card and all the alt arts, ultra rares and secret rares.
Hey new collector here, For the 3 way are you putting both cards in the pocket in their own sleeves ? or once you have the reverse are you taking the normal out ?.
I personally use Vault X perfect fit. A lot of people use dragon shield but there’ve been quite a few case of the sleeve being a little too small and bending a card of mine
bro thank you so much for the video!!!! ive been looking for a break down, anyone show me where to go on a order from first to last that the cards show go in or is that at your choice which card goes before the next?
bro, you gotta handle cards with care, especially if u didn't double sleeve them. ALL my cards are sleeved with KMC perfect fit from the top and dragon shield on the outside from the bottom, so both sides are well protected. have fun!
Exactly, be organized. Join unions, actual social organizations, communist parties and fight together with the working class to let the people - the working class, which the class that produces everything in our society - into power for the benefit of all peoples.
Guess what? I dont like any of the ways to organise the binder...I would recommend Putting each card by type for example First put Water type cards then Fire type, U know what I mean...🥰🥰

I’ve never used a 4 pocket binder, but that makes total sense with v-unions! I’m definitely going to have to give this a try!

I pulled a charizard today
Overlooked because those instances are extremely specific and circumstantial
I use 4 pocket ones , I have seven so far . I have never done a set I just like to have them in a random order . 😊

Very true!

@@RetroHunty Update, completed the Sneasel set (not counting the newest set)
@@Methyl_The_SneaselHows that coming along?
Good video my guy. You're getting a sub, keep it going 👏🏼
Great Video! I was looking to do the first 2 a while back for my extras but never got the time too! Awesome suggestions! :)
Thanks for your comment!:)
@@RetroHunty You’re welcome!

Brother I love this, I'm new to collecting and seeing the background reminds me of the barracks and I absolutely will continue to watch.
this video really helped me out organizing my binder!
I’m so glad!
Great video. But where do you keep your common cards?
I keep them in my empty ETB boxes and put them in storage!:)
@@RetroHunty thank you!
It is a really nice binder and good quality and the best part is it has different colors and good price
I use top loaders for my really good cards like my machamp v alt art from astral radiance, mewtwo vstar golden, mewtwo vstar rainbow and so on so on so on, so I think it would be a good idea to purchase a top loader binder, any recommendations for those???😅😊
The Pokémon go set it really fun to collect, I’m actually almost finished, then I’m gonna go for a master set, I only am missing the spark rainbow trainer and Blanche rainbow Trainer😊
I use these binders. They are darn good quality.
Hmm I guess I organize by themes and usually they’re themed in every page. I want to just be happy looking at my cards no matter where they’re placed.
I have a zip binder for things like holos and upwards in terms of rarity. Cards lower down I use the non zip vault x and just put them by type. Any card that's £15 upwards I'll put in a toploadrer and store in an elite trainer box.
Awesome video mate :)
Hey thanks bro! Keep making awesome content too!!:)
Super nice content bro, you need to keep em coming 👀👀
Thanks man!! I appreciate it dude!:)

Thanks for your comment bro! I’ve had trouble on the Base set for SV as well! Good luck my guy!
How about to organize them by the setnumber? This way you always keep track of which cards are still missing
Yes! I believe that what the ETB booklets go by! That method is smart so you for sure know what you’re missing in the set! Thanks for your input:)
very good ideas. I just bought some pokemon 151 cards but have absolutely no clue how to organize everything, besides going from 1 to 151...
Awesome video my dude 👍
Thanks my guy! I appreciate you always being so supportive! Means a lot dude!!
how did you hang the mini tins on the wall in the back? Its look really nice!
I just used some tacky clay and it seems to be working great!!
I see you got mewtwos pokemon card but I got 5 mewtwos so I love your video ❤
I know it’s late but thanks this was quite helpful
I do master sets but only of the vintage sets. I have most of the vintage sets complete in unlimited edition and one complete 1st edition set. Slowly knocking them not in a hurry. Newer sets are absurdly big with the reverse holos of each card and all the alt arts, ultra rares and secret rares.
Very cool bro!
Can u do a video. Where u recommend pretty binders and good ones for kinda cheap?
Of course! I’ll start doing some research 🧐
I like organizing mune by cards type so ill have all the holos,reverses, non holos, and Ex, ect then organizing them by pokemon
Hey new collector here, For the 3 way are you putting both cards in the pocket in their own sleeves ? or once you have the reverse are you taking the normal out ?.
I keep both the hollow and reverse!
Ty so much
I got two giant binders. One for normal holo and reverse cards and one for full arts and SARs.
That's honestly pretty smart!
Just finished my first master set of Paldea Evolved. Big boy
What sleeves do you use for your cards before putting them into the binder?
I personally use Vault X perfect fit. A lot of people use dragon shield but there’ve been quite a few case of the sleeve being a little too small and bending a card of mine
I just use the ones I get in ETBs. I should probably start using it penny sleeves though! What do you use?
I think I commented this but also we can organize it by type. For example grass type goes first then fire then water and all the other types.
U just got a sub :)
Im thinking do it by set but have first 2 pages (9/18 slots) for the super nice full arts and such, then just by set order
bro thank you so much for the video!!!! ive been looking for a break down, anyone show me where to go on a order from first to last that the cards show go in or is that at your choice which card goes before the next?
You forgot the 4th and best option: Sort by Pokedex number ;)
I sort mine by type rainbow, fighting, water, etc.
I had a question, when you sort by sets, where do promos go? I’m guessing they’re not really replacements for the actual card
I put the promos next to either the same Pokémon in the set or I put them in the back of the set alphabetically! Great question!:)
@@RetroHunty oooh ok! Thanks!
great video keep it up
Thank you for the support!
Hi I'd like to organize my cards buying boxes and sleeve my best cards and put them in a 4 pocket binde
That’s great!
I have a question because I’ve been collecting since I was like 7 and then I stopped.And how do you know witch set you have
Should say on the bottom left on every card its like a black rectangular box. If it says 'obf' that should stand for obsidian flame and so on
I also love putting my nice cards up front
Sweet dude! I feel like they look so rad that way!
There is alot of ways of organizing a binder....the easiest way for me is to make sure the binders sleeves can be taken out easily....
Great note!
How does everyone store all their energy cards? There’s one in every pack so the accumulation is insane
I keep all of mine in my empty ETBs!
I got my Pokémon stole last week mewtwo ex charizard ex snorlax vmax and many others
I’m so sorry to hear that!
I'm trying to master a set so no good for me 😢
Just pulled a rainbow charizard
Does anyone know how to prevent pokemon card from sliding out from a binder? mine always does and i dont know what to do
Do you have a top loading pages or side loading?
I have side loading, I also tried double sleeve but it doesnt work. I don't know what alternative to do@@RetroHunty
Side Loading, I already did double sleeving my card yet the card still sliding out@@RetroHunty
Why do you have ONE binder for your collection and trade cards? 😮 I never ever would carry my holy collection to Pokemon League or trade nights... 😅
I don’t have cards worthy of a holy collection yet lol.
Maybe organize your cards by type
I only do Master Sets
also since iI restarted with DSWSH I only use the official binders for them (even if they suck)
That’s awesome!! Have you completed any?
I'm collection is all pokemon I don't have enarg
I’m sad I just lost one of my best cards
I’m so sorry to hear that!:/
bro, you gotta handle cards with care, especially if u didn't double sleeve them. ALL my cards are sleeved with KMC perfect fit from the top and dragon shield on the outside from the bottom, so both sides are well protected. have fun!
Thanks for the advice dude! I’ll keep that in mind! Happy card collecting bro!
Meanwhile I have my cards sorted by Pokédex number and date of release, haha..
you know why we dont have money its the goverments keeping us low and i think i hit my head on a wall by saying go take the goverments out
Exactly, be organized. Join unions, actual social organizations, communist parties and fight together with the working class to let the people - the working class, which the class that produces everything in our society - into power for the benefit of all peoples.
Me so confusion of words you speakle 😶

That is quite rude to people who show how you can set your binder
