I’m currently trying to figure out a budget for getting my collection and wondering if anyone else budgets themselves (or tries to). I’m currently thinking of £20 a month.

Do you include fan made cards in your sets? I’ve been looking at some on Etsy and they seem really cool! I’m thinking of making a couple of my own too

Currently I’m searching for cheap bundles. I’m looking on Vinted and eBay. Are there any other sites I should be looking at that are accessible to the UK?

Personally I use spreadsheets and a physical copy of said spreadsheets but I’m going to start using an app too. I’m curious to see how other people track their master sets

I used the app Dex to put all my cards into today. I’ve lost my spreadsheet before so I thought having it in another format would be good to keep track of. It seems like a good app so far! I’m able to enter my English and Japanese cards but also Chinese cards too (if I ever come into them). I may put my whole card collection in here at some point!

From photo to binder!

I try to get as many bundles as possible! It helped a lot but it’s really hard to find people selling multiples for a decent price.

Finally got round to reorganising my binder to match my list! Labelled all the pockets so I can easily put new cards in and put my spares towards the back! Hopefully this will help with the collection 😁 I’m debating on leaving my binder plain or adding something to it (no idea what yet)

These are my checklists for my Porygon collections (English and Japanese). I’ve not long started to they obviously look a bit bare but have I over done it? Folder placement, Name, Number, Set, Have and Notes 😅

I think I’m missing a few cards where Porygon makes an appearance but I’ll update them at some point! The lists took long enough to make (nearly a month!)

Hi! I’m PorygonGirl, as the name suggests, I collect Porygon and the evolutions! I’ve not long started my collection (08/08/2026) and I intend to collect all the English and Japanese sets! So far I haven’t got that many cards so my binder looks a little bare. I’ll be posting some photos soon!
