How many binder pages do you need?
A page is one side of a binder sheet. Each sheet holds two pages, front and back.
| Collection | 4-pocket | 9-pocket | 12-pocket |

| Main set (1–86)86 cards | 22 pages11 sheets | 10 pages5 sheets | 8 pages4 sheets |

The full 172-card set fits in one standard 20-sheet (360-card) 9-pocket binder, and the 405-card master set fits in 2 standard 20-sheet (360-card) 9-pocket binders. Want to plan for a different layout or leave room for art? Use the binder calculator.
About the master set count. It adds the 233 reverse holo versions TCGdex lists for this set, which include extra reverse holo patterns, so the master set is much bigger than the card list. Promos and stamped variants aren't included.

Planning tips for Black Bolt
- Give secret rares their own pages. Cards 87–172 fill 10 9-pocket pages, which makes a great spread to end the binder on.
- Decide where reverse holos go. Put them on the facing page next to the regular version, or keep them in a second binder so the main one stays tidy.
- Start numbering on a right-hand page. Turn on "Start with page 1 by itself" in binder.studio so card 1 lands where you open the binder.
- Leave a pocket for the set logo. An art insert or a code card as page one makes the binder easy to find on a shelf. See binder art inserts.
