Planning tips for Crown Zenith

  • Give secret rares their own pages. Cards 160–160 fill 1 9-pocket page, 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.
