Pitch Black binder guide

Pitch Black holds 120 cards: 84 in the main set and 36 secret rares. 74 cards also exist as a reverse holo, so a complete master set counts 194 cards. Choose your binder and what you collect below. The guide shows the page and pocket for every card, so you can keep empty pockets free for the cards you are still looking for.

What your binder looks like

Full set in a 9-pocket binder: 14 pages, 7 double-sided sheets.
Master set with reverse holos in a 9-pocket binder: 22 pages, 11 double-sided sheets.
Page 1 is the first right-hand page. Leave it empty if you want every spread to line up.
The secret rares start on a new page, so the main set stays together.

Questions about your Pitch Black binder

How many pages do I need for Pitch Black?: In a 9-pocket binder the full set takes 14 pages (7 double-sided sheets). With every reverse holo added it takes 22 pages (11 sheets). A 9-pocket Pro Binder with 20 double-sided sheets holds 360 cards, so it fits with room to spare.
Where do the reverse holos go?: There is no fixed rule. Put the reverse holo right behind the regular card and everything stays in number order, so you see at a glance what is missing. A separate block at the end looks calmer. You pick one in the guide, and the pockets are recalculated.
Why is page 1 on its own?: When you open a binder, the first page sits on the right with no page next to it. After that everything comes in pairs. If you want cards that belong together side by side, choose to start on a spread.
Can I print the checklist and placeholders?: Yes. At the bottom you can download a free checklist and placeholders at true card size (63 by 88 mm), matched to your choices. All you need to enter is your email address. Print at 100%, without fit to page.
