Binder Page is a digital binder planner for Pokémon TCG. Plan pages, fill slots, and keep track of what you Want and what you Own — across every binder on your shelf. PLAN YOUR BINDERS Create binders with the page size you like, from a tight 1×1 up to 4×4. Search the catalog, add cards to a list, then tap a slot and place them. Drag cards on the page. On iPhone and iPad, turn sideways for two facing pages. On iPhone Duo, a closed binder stays one page. Open or partly open, portrait shows one page and landscape shows two facing pages. Master set and Pokédex layouts help you build a set or a National Dex. After you choose a set, pick One card (one slot per card art, including secrets) or Every variant (each finish is its own slot of that same art). Pokédex binders reserve one slot per Pokémon, in National Dex order. WANT & OWN Every copy on a list is Want, Own, or both if you have extras. On a card profile, + and − under Want and Own add or remove one copy at a time. Mark finishes you own (Holo, Reverse, Jumbo, and more). Multi Add is the checkmark in Search, a binder list, or Collection. Select cards in bulk and mark them Want or Own, or remove them. Those cards go on the binder list. Placing a card in a slot is still one at a time. Collection shows everything across binders — search, filter, and sort so you can see gaps and duplicates at a glance. MARKET PRICES (BETA) Home, Collection, Binder Info, and the card profile can show TCGPlayer-based ranges for cards on your lists. The total uses the high end of the range; the range is the highest and lowest prices we can find across variants. We don’t log the condition of each copy yet, and finish marks don’t change the total. Treat it as a planning aid, not a checkout quote. Catalog prices refresh about monthly. SHOP WHEN YOU’RE READY Open a card profile to buy on TCGPlayer or eBay. Premium can export Collection as CSV or open Buy Collection on TCGPlayer (Mass Entry in the browser, split into parts of 150 cards). Always review the cart — listings and printings can be wrong, and TCGPlayer Direct is not always the cheapest. Binder Page is a TCGPlayer and eBay affiliate and may earn from qualifying purchases. YOUR DATA Continue as Guest and keep binders on this device, or Sign in with Apple to back up with iCloud. Local saving stays on. Fully quit the app (or use Settings → Data → Use Last Saved) when you switch iPhone and iPad. PREMIUM Unlock unlimited binders and pages, master set fill, page resize, Collection export, extra themes, custom spines, and an ad-free experience. Free includes binders to get started and one Pokédex binder. English and Japanese cards are in the catalog. Chinese sets are on the roadmap. Binder Page is an independent app and is not affiliated with Nintendo, Creatures Inc., GAME FREAK, The Pokémon Company, TCGPlayer, or eBay. Pokémon and related marks are owned by their respective owners. Questions? Settings → Feedback, or binderpage@makomisumarketing.com

Ace Binder turns your phone or iPad into a digital Pokémon card binder — the way collectors actually think about their collection. Instead of a flat list of "owned vs. missing," Ace Binder builds real binders with real spots: a Pokédex binder where slot #6 is Charizard and you choose which Charizard card fills it, a Set binder where every slot maps to one card number, or an All-of-a-Pokémon binder that pulls together every printing of your favorite Pokémon across every set. **BUILD THE BINDER YOU WANT** • Pokédex — one spot per Pokémon, 1–1025, with every eligible card as a candidate • Pokédex Hits / Illustration Rare+ — same idea, filtered to the good pulls • Standard & Master Set — track a set card-by-card, or every printing and variant • All of a Pokémon — every card for one Pokémon, one binder • Start blank — build a custom binder from scratch **SEE YOUR COLLECTION AT A GLANCE** A true page-by-page grid view mimics a physical binder — swipe between pages, tap a spot to fill it, see collected and uncollected cards at a glance. Prefer a list? Switch views anytime. **TRACK VALUE** Market pricing on every card, plus a running total for each binder, so you always know what your collection is worth. **FIND ANY CARD, ANYWHERE** Search across every binder you own — see instantly which binder a card lives in and whether you've collected it. **FREE, NO CATCH** No ads, no subscription, no paywalled features in v1. Download free and start building your first binder today. Ace Binder is an independent fan project and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Nintendo, Game Freak, Creatures Inc., or The Pokémon Company International. Card data via TCGplayer; card images via TCGplayer and TCGdex.
