  • Here's a look at how I organize my Pokemon TCG collections as a player of the card game. Some of this may be SUPER obvious, but hopefully if you're looking to improve your organization this can be inspirational!
    And let me know if you organize your cards in a totally different way! This is certainly a more expensive option, but others may be interested to hear ways that might not be so pricey.

    Dam it's so satisfying to see birds all in different rarities @ 4:44, as most collectors sort by set and number. This is the first video from tons I've watched where a player has good organization like that.

    Its oddly satisfying to see how organized your cards are lol
    I actually use the elite trainer boxes and the dividers that come with them. I have the cards divided into their type, followed by trainers, special energy, and finally basic energy. Any card I pull thats of higher rarity I keep in a binder

    • @gyrosean
      @gyrosean  3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I think thats probably a common method since its space saving and cost effective. But definitely satisying to flip through

    that's so much better that what I've been doing omg. Since I started with SwSh base I've just been filing em by type, trainer, energy etc in the ETB boxes and trainer's toolkit! I've tried to compile all of my cards usable in standard on a word document, but I'll have to go through that since I learned about the rotation stuff not too long ago haha. I'll have to look into binders once I have space for some!
    Edit: Your collection is awesome!

      Thanks! Definitely lucky to be able to have as many sets of cards as i do. But id certainly recommend this method if youre just starting. Easy to sort early, just a bit if investment in binders (prob around $150)

    Great vid! It is really cool to see some organizational tips on card storage for sure. Personally, my cards organization pulls from the "method to my madness" theory. I have about three or four binders that are each separated between the Expanded and Standard Formats and within each binder (or binders) I try to keep them sectioned into stadiums, supporters, items, etc. However, since I am usually building decks and testing them it doesn't take long before they binders become very disorganized.

    • @gyrosean
      @gyrosean  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Ya, tons of work to keep them organized over time. I usually put everything back every few weeks, and it takes maybe an hour each time

  • @ExpatBriton
    @ExpatBriton 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I've been thinking I need to do something like this so it's good to see how you organize. I didn't expect to get as into the game as I have (only started playing because my son wanted some cards) so everything is in 800 card boxes, sorted by set and card number, and a separate box for trainers which are in alphabetical order. It does mean I can find what I need pretty quickly, but browsing is basically impossible. Binders for GX, V, and Ultra Rare stuff.

    I have a little over 10k cards now. Been playing for about 2yrs. I went to using TEB to hold all the bulk pokemon, I sort mine by set and numerical order. Takes a ton of time to do that...haha. I also have a TEB for Items,Supporters, stadiums, Special Energies. I have multiple Shoe Boxes full to the rim of Basic Energy. Totes full of sleeves and extra Dice, extra Damage counters, poison burn markers...ect. I have a large Shelf to hold all of it and probably going to need a second shelf soon. I also have many unopened boxes of cards, like the premium powers Hidden Fates box that came out, picked it up for the Turbo Strike Solgaleo but never opened it and wow its tripled in price! Anyways Good video Dude. Enjoying the content.

    I have a ultra rare binder too, but I put any full art and gold trainers in there as well. I have all my trainers in one 3 row binder. Its gets pretty full by the end of each season. I have a 4 pocket binder for my energy.

    • @gyrosean

    based on this video, I am considered insane so sit tight
    so when I sort my cards I put the different types of pokemon cards and I sort that s*** by energy so like I would put all the psychic type pokemon together but the ultra rares and rainbow rares together along with the full arts and the full art trainers and so basically it was ex, mega ex, gx, tag teams, Vs, Vmaxes and the new set I got v stars but that collection is not completed and I have binders for energy cards

  • @wolfegaming36
    @wolfegaming36 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have a much smaller collection, so I basically just have my holo cards in a binder, sorted by type, and the rest of my cards are sorted by type in a couple of elite trainer boxes, and after sorting them by type they're sorted alphabetically. It's gotten so hard to get cards, I'm mostly just getting codes ans building up my PTCGO collection instead and that's easy enough to search/sort. Can't wait for this insane bubble to burst and scalpers stop scooping up everything so I can get back into collecting irl cards again, but tbh collecting online has been better for my wallet lol

    It should be noted that this is obviously more for players and not suited for collectors. There would be no reason for a collector who doesn’t play to sort in this way.

    • @gyrosean
      @gyrosean  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      A theme deck is a pre-created deck from the Pokemon company that you can buy directly. Standard refers to a format where the cards you can build your own deck from must be from specific setsz in Pokemon standard legal sets are typically the most recent 2-3 years of cards
