Planning tips for Sword & Shield
- Give secret rares their own pages. Cards 203–216 fill 2 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.
