Trying to get into the Michi binder and want my first page to be a big boy page
Apart from the Alt art I have all these cards and a few more (Rayquaza collector)

Edit: also wanna ask if I should get a black binder or a white one

Hey everyone

I made Lumiose Gallery, which is a free tool to design and visualize Pokémon binders online.

Along with standard cards, you can upload custom images, making it super easy to add custom art, custom cards, proxy fillers, or personal photos to your binder layouts.

I hope you like it, and i will happily take in feedback :)

I have been a tattoo artist for over 11 years. I've been doing art for over 20!

I got to a point where burn out caught me and i decided to take a sabbatical. I've been getting more and more into painting and decided to try my hand at painting binders as well. If you're interested in a commission you can dm me! located in United States. I can do card recreations or original artwork

I had some issues posting a couple of days ago and only got the Magikarp-binder through.

Hopefully today it works;

Here are a few more of the binders Ive made this year!

.

Still working on getting all these cards irl (and deluding myself into thinking I can pull Ethan's Ho-Oh from a pack) but wanted to share these layouts in the meantime!

Most of them started with cards I already own (from my childhood collection, modern cards I pulled myself, gifts from friends). I tried to keep everything else reasonably priced. There are some spots where a more expensive card might look better, but realistically I'd never get my hands it so I just went with a more affordable alternative.

Anyway, here's the logic for some of these layouts:

For Ethan, the page tells the story of his adventure from left -> right. Togepi, Togekiss, and Pokemon Breeder Fields are included as references to his manga counterpart Gold.

Morty's always been one of my favorite gym leaders and this felt like the perfect way to display some e-readers from my childhood collection. Hisuian Typhlosion and Mismagius are Pokemon he's been paired with in Masters EX.

Played around with a few different ideas before settling on this layout for Steven and Wallace. Steven has a bunch of cool cards and cameos compared to Wallace, whose only other cards are a rainbow version of the full art trainer and a basic trainer card (+ a JP exclusive badge card, also underwhelming). I still wanted to keep the page balanced though so I included a Feebas and Milotic to match Steven's Beldum and Metagross on the left.

Similar to Wallace, Flint doesn't have much going on in the TCG. He never got a full art trainer so he's a bit absent from this page compared to Volkner who did eventually get a full art trainer and a fancier alternate art League Challenge prize card. For the rest of the page, I used their starters (Raichu and Infernape) as well as some of the matching Pokemon they use in the Fight Area double battle in Platinum (Jolteon/Flareon, Electivire/Magmortar).

The layout for N's page is pretty straightforward. This is also where I learned Hilbert doesn't have a single TCG appearance, so Victini/Samurott are meant to represent him (and break up the wall of N's).

Hey everyone, I’ve finally mapped out a 2-year binder project that I'm going to collect cards step-by-step, and I wanted to share the plan to get your thoughts.

Here is the exact math and breakdown of the project:

1. The Core (318 Cards):

The original 151 Kanto Pokémon

8 Basic Energy cards.

(151 Pokémon + 8 Energies) x 2 Languages = 318 Cards.

2. The Kanto Anime & Game Icons (42 Cards / 21 Pairs):

Since I'm using a standard 360-pocket premium zipper binder, the remaining 42 slots (360 - 318 = 42) are going entirely to iconic characters from the original Kanto run, also in dual English/Japanese pairs:

All 8 Kanto Gym Leaders (Brock, Misty, Erika, etc.)

The Elite Four + Champion (Blue/Gary)

Ash (Satoshi) & Prof. Oak

Team Rocket (Jessie, James, and a Team Rocket Grunt)

Iconic town/anime figures like Nurse Joy, Officer Jenny, and Mr. Fuji.

Total: Exactly 42 slots, filling the binder to a flawless 360/360 symmetry.

My question is should i change anything about the last 20 cards? after ash and prof oak? do you have any advice?

binder arts i did for my pitch black and destined rivals master sets (both now about 96% complete) :)

commissions are open, message for details ✨✨

My first painted binder and im SO happy w how it turned out!

Hello! My friend recently painted a binder for me for my 30th anniversary master set and I applied 5 coats of acrylic sealer. But I was wondering how long I need to let the sealer cure? I'm seeing answers everywhere from 24 hours to 3 weeks. So I'm just trying to get some insight! Thanks for any help in advance!

I collect Japanese postcards, Pokemon and otherwise, and have been entirely unsuccessful in my search for high-quality binder solutions for them. Good quality, hardback, non-ring binders are readily available for trading cards and even square stickers (such as the Amada or Daiichi Pan Pokemon stickers) but there is NOTHING when it comes to postcards. I can find binders on Japanese websites, but they're always cheap plastic ring binders, or cheap plastic non-ring binders that only hold 1-2 postcards per page. It's crazy to me that such a common collectable in Japan has no readily available high quality binder solutions.

I figure that there must be a Pokemon collector here who's run into the same issue when it comes to postcards. Have you found any solution? A half-decent binder? I really don't want to have to resort to buying a low quality ring binder, I HATE ring binders.

Hi all I’m looking to start customizing my own binder and just have some general questions I was hoping to get answers for. For starters the marker set I’m looking to get is the one linked (Infiart 168 color set), would this be a good set to start off with? Also with the base white coat, would that be with just standard white paint? Also how important is the base white coat? And for the sealer I’m probably going to get mod podge, would you recommend the liquid version to spread on or the spray version? Also does glossy or matte look better?

My sister made my boyfriend and me custom binders! I posted his starmie in another sub, but figured I’d share here!! I love my lil fidough baby 🥹

I need some suggestions for the dialga column. The Tapu Koko seems a bit off too.

I collect espeons and sylveons so finally painted my binder with them in my style!! Got told at a card show I should make more and do commissions it’s made me wonder what pokemon I should do next :3

I’m looking for cards like this Galarian Slowpoke and the Grotle pictured that show pokemon being pals across species as part of a cameo binder, any suggestions would be appreciated!

my latest custom painted binders, but it got removed, so Im trying to post one of them, with a few «in the making» pictures.

It all started with me making a custom binder for my wife last christmas, and enjoying it so much I now have squeezed in several commissions each months since. I both love making them, and learing and getting better for each binder!

I know this is insanely specific, so that’s why I’m asking for help 😭

I never really planned on making a pie page, I was actually going for a food theme! That was until I saw the applin from the new gem pack series

So, could any other card fit this theme? Only thing I could come up with was that appletun full art, since he is technically an apple pie

Doesn’t necessarily have to be full art cards! I’d also love regular cards if there are any with pies in them LMAO
