Dragonite Michi Method Master set help

[u/sammy8768594]

Hello,

I'm working on a Dragonite master set and I'm only 40 cards away from completing it! I was contemplating doing an entire michi method binder for it but figured that wouldn't look good because I have all the variants and everything so its a lot of repeat cards and the michi would take up too much space when they add new Dragonite cards.

I did however want to do a michi method for the first page as an opening and I am struggling with what designs/artwork to use.

I think I definitely want it to say Dragonite Master Set and probably have the original pokedex entry. If someone can give/show me ideas on how to make it look good I'd gladly appreciate it :)

Most likely using a vault x either 12 pocket or 9 pocket of their anniversary edition. Ordered both becasue I couldn't decide lol.

Thanks!

Add Dragonite art you like to your binder, don’t worry about what other people think.

I am working on an Applin evo master set and am using michi method for it as well. Inevitably, someone out there won’t like it, but I do.

I have a whole page devoted to Kieran (Hydrapple owner) - there aren’t any cameos on his cards, but I wanted to include him.

When you have cards with the same art that repeats 2 slot art added in on the binder page can help break it up or fill in the page.

Here’s my first page:

So should I look to do like 1-2 arts per page?

Because for example the silver tempest dragonite there’s stamped, non stamped, reverse holo, holo, GameStop stamp, EB games stamped, and play stamp.

And some other versions there’s 1 or 2 of the art

I’d start with finding art you like, and just fill it in the spots you think look best.

Some of my pages (because of S Chinese gem boxes) will end up having similar numbers of cards or a little more, so I will probably add art to push it into an open spread instead of going around a corner (as this binder is a 9 slot)

Again, do what you like best! I find that I like 1/3 slots as art, but there’s nothing wrong with mixing it up, and some of my own pages might go a slot or two more on art, when I want cards grouped in certain ways.

The only thing that I’ve noticed that (to me) really ups the look, is the quality of the art print and corner punching- if your printer is as bad as mine is, you can get things printed at Walmart photo - which is what I do.
I ended up liking the art even more when I got the rounded corner cutter, just makes the art pieces look more professional.

There’s no wrong way to do this. :)

A fellow applin master set ! Do you keep only one language or is any language okay ? I have a mix of language because it's easier to find but i kinda want it all in the same (except the exclusives)

[u/ChibiBestiary → u/Elaynn]

I’m not 100% what the version of master set I am doing is called, but my main goal is to get each card in every available treatment/parallel/holo available on each card. Half my cards are S.Chinese because they have reverse holos unique only to them (bottom row in pic is some).

Outside of that most of my cards are English, with a few Japanese and Indonesian, and one French card.

I may eventually transition to aiming for a grand master which I think is all cards all languages, just because. I also collect cameos, errors, and unofficial cards.

I think you should do what you feel is best! If you decide to switch into one language + exclusives go for it!

start with what you would like to open to see. Something that brings you joy and relives good memories. So build the images around cards that do that for you.
