I use spare energy cards as spacers when I’m building the binder. It helps me keep track of gaps I need for cards I’m yet to obtain.

[@cameroncrowe5218]

awesome video thanks. I'm 34 loved pokemon as a kid. this is my first time getting cards 151. you made me rearrange my bloody folder again lol. only diferance i decided to make was putting the promos after the reverse holos. 3 bulbasaurs in 1 line does it for me lol

[@lazymarine4890]

As a brand new collector I thank you so much.

[@sleevenocardbehind]

Thank you! Good luck!

[@jmc_-im6sd]

Welcome to the hobby!!! Been at it 35 years now 😉

[@hgstewart5112]

Great tutorial for a beginner. Been collecting since the 90s but just have all my cards in tins and boxes. Definitely a needed upgrade!

[@SplashTiger1]

Well according to my calculations it’s actually 1995🤓🤓

[@philgoodinc2]

For some sets that I am actively collecting (eg SV 151 and Paldean fates) i have ended up with enough of the ex cards to make a full regular set, as well as a reverse holo set. First do the regular set in number order, then i make sure the reverse holo set starts on the left side of a double page and repeat without skipping the ex cards. Once i get to the alt art/secret range, they go in sleeves, then toploaders and into a Toploader binder.

[@weetjijwel050]

Usefull stuff, thatnks! I must say i always put my normal card in a slot, and the (reverse)holo in a sleeve in the same slot. Doesnt damage the cards, and save s a lot of slots:)

[@josephsilva5665]

I needed this video when the set came out. Lol This is the first one I want to master set the collection. Now I want to go home and redo my whole binder. The only thing I did that you said not to do. Is I put the non hollows behind the reverse hollows. But everything is all sleeved up.

[@philgoodinc2]

I also do this for sets I am not actively trying to complete, (eg when I get packs of vivid voltage and darkness ablaze when all I wanted was celebrations).

[@Nf00257]

As someone who has come back after over 20 years partly due to my son. I'm not sure what the purpose is of making it so confusing compared to what it used to be. Still enjoying it though.

[@sleevenocardbehind]

Even for me it can feel convoluted at times. There are lots of nuances and things that collectors do differently. I also miss the simplicity of the old sets!

[@SG_GOD_YT]

Thank you bro

[@Dr_Cheddar]

ive always filled in the spots with normals then swapped out for the holos, but i like this better!

[@yuguo5053]

At 4:00, you put reverse holo Pikachu to the bottom right corner of that page, which is wrong. It should be a regular Pikachu.😆

[@jamiejie7097]

I dont think you will have enough slots if you want to collect both common and halo

[@HostileHern]

It’s literally the exact amount I had the same binder before I got a better one to put them in

[@devon151]

Thank you just got one question where do I put stamp cards? I'm working on Chilling Reigon and there's a lot.

[@sleevenocardbehind]

It’s up to you. Personally, I place them in the back with the promo cards

[@ussenterprise1394]

Thanks. Just got one question. Let's say I have two copies of a single common card, say Bulbasaur (none of them being reverse holos). Do I just stack the two common cards and put them in the same pocket?

[@sleevenocardbehind]

If I have two identical cards I'll put one in the binder and put the other either away. It really depends on what you like to do with your duplicates.

[@shadowlordalpha]

I put the Reverse one at the start and then the others go at the end after the full arts

[@weetjijwel050]

Also: i think you didnt mention, if you did, i missed it: there are 2 versions of most cards. For every normal one there is also a holo OR non holo version (never all 3). Took me a while to figure that out:).

[@sleevenocardbehind]

Good clarification, wish I said it!

[@deepvibez]

hi bro, liked and sub'ed!

[@sleevenocardbehind]

Thank you, I appreciate it

[@waldanamongus6380]

Thank you

[@sleevenocardbehind]

You're welcome

[@Thomstmi]

If you are sleeving both cards, could you put the non-holo and reverse-holo into the same slot? Or would this still potentially damage the cards?

[@sleevenocardbehind]

Some people do it. If you are careful, I’m sure it will be ok. You may run the risk of stretching the binder pocket a little bit

[@justgaming4fun82]

Do you organize each set in there own binder or all together? Like for example would you put Paldean Fates with Twilight Masquerade in the same binder or should each one have their own binder.

[@sleevenocardbehind]

For me it depends on the size of the sets and binder. I don’t like to waste binder space so if I can fit two sets, then I do

[@justgaming4fun82]

@@sleevenocardbehind sounds cool 👍🏽. I used to collect Pokémon cards back in the original days when I was a kid, but I stopped a long, long time ago, but it’s something I want to share with my kids so I decided to get back into it. The Scarlet & Violet 151 set is calling to me.

[@orgoremedia]

Only problem with that binder is not being able actually have an entire master set in one binder. I know your addressed this, but sad Pokémon didn’t think about this, and include one or two extra pages, as it wouldn’t have cost them or who their manufacturer is, really anymore money.

[@cameronbucar]

Can't fit whole set in the binder if putting them in individual sleeves. I put both common and reverse Holo in seperate penny sleeve. Then I put the common in a binder sleeve 1st, then the reverse Holo in front of the common. The binder sleeves are loose enough to not damage the cards. Especially when in seperate penny sleeves.

[@sleevenocardbehind]

You can't fit the whole set? You must be including the promo cards then?

[@isjays]

You only get like 180 slots in 151 binder 165 cards in the base all but the ex cards have reversed holo not including the secret rares

[@andreigroza2445]

The binder in this video, and the one's I use are with 360 slots. Not 180, those are thinner and yes they can't fit all the cards

[@sleevenocardbehind]

@@andreigroza2445 Are there two different versions of the 151 binder?

[@andreigroza2445]

@@sleevenocardbehind I don't know, I don't actually own one, wish I had, but I saw some reviews on it and also if I search for one on Amazon, it says it has 20 pages holding up to 360 cards.

[@yuguo5053]

And 4:10, need one more slot for Nidoran.

[@siconine]

Does anyone know how to prevent pokemon card from sliding out from a binder? mine always does and i dont know what to do

[@sleevenocardbehind]

You can try double-sleeving your cards

[@siconine]

Already did. I bought Penny Sleeve Perfect Fit and 1 hard Sleeve still sliding :'( @@sleevenocardbehind

[@siconine]

I already did double sleeving yet the card still sliding out@@sleevenocardbehind

[@D3enjoyer]

Link to binder?

[@sleevenocardbehind]

This is the official Pokémon 151 binder. You can find it on Pokecenter or anywhere that sells Pokémon 151 products.

[@D3enjoyer]

@@sleevenocardbehind ok

[@mephisto--]

This only applies to people doing master sets 😂

[@DrSlick]

Do you know how long it will take to binder love all your cards by number? Just separate all your sets and sleeve. Don’t wast time

[@philgoodinc2]

that truly sounds awful. Organising the cards into binders is like the best part of collecting cards.
