A placeholder
for every card.

Six files. Every format.

Every set comes with six print-ready PDFs covering every way a collector could ever want to use a placeholder. They're formatted for A4 paper, 9 cards per page, ready for any home printer. Cut along the dashed guides, slot them into 9-pocket binder pages, swap each one out as you find the real thing.

Master Set

Every variant gets its own slot. 1st Edition, Shadowless, Unlimited, Reverse Holo — all of them. The definitive physical checklist.

Complete Set

One slot per card, no duplicates. The clean overview for collectors going for "one of each."

Card Only

Just the artwork. No name, no labels, no metadata. For binders where the cards speak for themselves.

Checklist

A printable tick-list of every variant. Take it to a card show, fold it into your wallet, tick what you find.

· in colour

Full colour art, the way you'd see it on a foil binder page.

· and greyscale

Ink-saving black and white for everyday printing.

A4. 9 per page. Standard everything.

Print at 100% scale on A4 paper. Disable "fit to page" in your printer settings or the cards will shrink. Use 220–250gsm matte card stock for the best feel — it'll match the weight of a real card. Cut along the dashed borders with a guillotine, or a steel ruler and a craft knife if you're patient.

Want it perfect? Send the PDF to a local print shop and ask for A4, full colour, 250gsm silk card, no scaling. They'll come back as good as a factory print. The placeholders are sized to 63 × 88mm — the exact dimensions of a real TCG card, so they slot into 9-pocket binder pages without any wobble.

Every card. Every variant. Every era.

A "master set" is the holy grail for a TCG collector: every card from a set, plus every variant the card was printed in. For Wizards-era sets like Base Set, that means tracking 1st Edition, Shadowless, and Unlimited as three separate slots in your binder. For modern sets it's Holo and Reverse Holo. For Mega Evolution promos it can mean five or six variants of a single card.

Until you've found the real card, your binder has 102 empty pockets staring back at you. That's what the placeholders are for. They show you what you don't yet own, in the order you'll one day own it, and they make the gap feel like a project instead of a void.
