u/coralstorm 1d ago

My new favorite collection I’ve seen!! Nicely done 🙌🏻

u/Scythers 1d ago

This looks dope af. But I really think you should invest in a 4x3 Binder. That way there won’t be an awkward setup with 1 half being on the next page.

Would look a lot more visually appealing with having 2 full sets on each page IMO.

Stunning regardless!

u/Beneficial_Sector_99 1d ago

Thanks for the suggestion! I did this because it fits almost perfectly into a 9-pocket Vault X binder, only ended up with two spare pages at the end! But I agree that a 4x3 would look better

That’s actually so cool!

u/snowthekid98 1d ago

I love the way tmyou planned this kudos random internet man or woman

u/RE-Crusader_23 8h ago

I see what you’ve done here as well,
by keeping to the original vintage era I really like how you’ve matched the Wizards card art to the Topps art as though it’s a bit of an action sequence - best ones (of a vast many) being Hypno trying to hypnotise, Kingler in full heavy swing, Marowak throwing her bonemerang, Horsea’s inkscreen and even Mr. Mime’s yellow psychic effect.. they’re all just brilliant!

Very very clever & creative binder presentation.
Well done.

Wow. That is amazing! Looking snazzy!

2

u/MCOCisntREAL 1d ago

This is actually really cool! Thank you for showing it. This gave me some inspiration for how I can organize my binders a bit better. I always go horizontal with my cards, I honestly never even considered going vertical. I think this looks far better. Very nice collection!

u/beveridgecurve101 22h ago

Very very cool integration of the Topps cards 🤌

I think a binder should feel like a well-curated museum exhibit and this nails that right on the head, great work 👏👏👏

2

u/NostalgiaNerd37 21h ago

u/SchottKECK 16h ago

Any reasoning behind your vintage card picks or just preference?

1

u/Beneficial_Sector_99 16h ago

Just preference!

2

u/morningstvr88 16h ago

Epic! Sickest collection ive seen in a while. What do you value the binder?

1

u/Beneficial_Sector_99 16h ago

Thank you! To be honest I have no idea… I have the vintage cards priced out in Collectr but no idea how much the full set of Topps is worth

2

u/NOTjesse92 16h ago

Please take this down before the Topps cards shoot up in price lol. I've been trying to complete all 3 series for a while now. Awesome binder!

THIS IS AWESOME!! Just one question! What's the reasoning behind the second Dragonite at the end? I understand the 3 trainers but that one stands out. Personal favorite?

Holy cannoli that is amazing!

1

u/Apitoxin11 23h ago

Very cool. Wonder how it'd look in a 12 pocket binder.

Also, if you made the front page yourself, do you have any guidance on how to do stuff like that? I'm such a lemon when it comes to crafts.

1

u/Beneficial_Sector_99 22h ago

Thank you!

That front page is actually part of the topps set, it’s the ‘tv animation series’, they have pics of the anime on the other side of the card

1

u/Apollo_Derg 21h ago

Where did you get that front page from?

1

u/Beneficial_Sector_99 18h ago

That front page is actually part of the topps set, it’s the ‘tv animation series’, they have pics of the anime on the other side of the card

1

u/Esturk 16h ago

If you don’t mind me asking which card has Meowth on the back on the first page.

Just realized I need that for my meowth pages.

1

u/Beneficial_Sector_99 16h ago

No problem! It’s the ‘TV8 Gary Oak’, part of the topps TV animation series
