Every feature, improvement, and fix shipping to Binder Placeholders — newest first.

A Binder Editor That Works on Your Phone

Building a binder on a phone no longer means fighting the interface. Tap any card to open its actions — grade, buy, move, or remove — instead of hunting for controls that only appeared on hover. Move a card to any pocket, even on another page, without dragging, or press and hold to drag it the old way. A new page bar (and a left-right swipe) walks through every page, tray cards go into a pocket with one tap, and every button is now big enough to hit with a thumb. Card search also ignores stray spaces from mobile keyboards and tells you where to look when a name comes up empty.

A Round of Bug Fixes

Plenty of smaller fixes across the app — layout and text that overflowed on narrow screens, controls that were hard to reach, and rough edges in search and the binder editor. Nothing to do on your end; things should simply behave.

FixJuly 26, 2026

Footer Restored on Illustrator Pages

Individual illustrator pages were missing the site footer, including links to Privacy Policy and Terms. It's back, matching every other page on the site.

NewJuly 13, 2026

Custom Art That Spans Two Pockets

Two-wide custom image tiles can now print as one continuous piece of art that flows across the gap between binder pockets — perfect for panoramic, dual-card illustrations. When you place a 2-pocket tile, pick how it prints: Split cuts it into two separate cards, or Extend across slots renders a single wide insert that reads seamlessly once slotted. Reposition any placed tile by dragging the image to pan its crop, and tune the Seam gap under Binder settings → Print to match your binder's spacing. The gap is applied only to pages that actually hold extend art, so plain card pages stay tight, and the editor now previews the exact print layout.

Variant Picker When Adding Cards from Search

When adding cards through the Add Cards modal in the Smart Binder, you can now choose the variant for each card before adding it. After selecting cards, the right sidebar shows each card with four variant options — Normal, Rev. Holo, Holo, and 1st Edition — highlighted in blue when active. The chosen variant is saved to the binder card, so placeholders accurately reflect what you're tracking.

ImprovementJune 19, 2026

Clearer Print Layout for Placeholder Cards

Printed placeholders are now much easier to read on real paper. Card names, set names, and card numbers are all larger and use darker, higher-contrast colors that don't fade when printed. The set name and card number are now separate elements so a long set name no longer clips the number. Graded card labels got the same treatment — bigger text throughout, the "Trading Card" label removed, and a taller label strip so cert numbers and card numbers are actually legible.

ImprovementJune 4, 2026

Mark a Whole Set Owned in Seconds

Tracking a whole set is much faster now. Hit the new Select button in the Set Gallery to enter selection mode, then tap cards to pick them — or shift-click to grab a whole range at once. Use Select all to grab everything currently shown. A bottom bar shows your count with one-tap Mark owned and Mark missing actions, so you no longer open each card one at a time.

ImprovementMay 25, 2026

Mobile Support for the Binder Editor

The Smart Binder editor is now fully usable on mobile. The binder canvas scales correctly to fill the available screen instead of appearing as a tiny sliver. The toolbar now fits on small screens — secondary actions like Compact and Clear are hidden, primary buttons collapse to icons, and a gear button opens the settings sidebar as a slide-in drawer with a backdrop. Page navigation advances one page at a time on mobile instead of two.

ImprovementMay 25, 2026

Mobile Card Search — Bottom Sheet Design

The Add Cards modal now slides up as a native-feeling bottom sheet on mobile. It includes a Cards/Sets tab bar at the top, a compact search bar, and a horizontally scrollable filter row with Set, Subtype, and type icon chips — all without needing to open a sidebar. Cards are shown in a 3-column grid for comfortable browsing. The sticky footer has two large touch-friendly buttons: To Tray and Add N cards, which now correctly places selected cards into the current binder page. Desktop layout is unchanged.

ImprovementMay 25, 2026

Market Price in Set Gallery Panel

The card detail drawer in the Set Gallery now shows the TCGPlayer market price when available. The price is pulled from the same data fetch as the card variants, so it appears without any extra network requests.

FixMay 25, 2026

Pluralization and Label Fixes

Fixed "Add 1 cards" showing incorrect plural in the card search modal — it now correctly reads "Add 1 card". Fixed the mobile bottom navigation showing "Artists" instead of "Illustrators" for the illustrators page.

ImprovementMay 16, 2026

Variant Picker on the Plus Button

Clicking the + button on any card in the set browser now opens a variant picker when the card has multiple printings (Normal, Holo, Reverse Holo, 1st Edition). Single-variant cards still add instantly. No more accidentally adding a Normal when you wanted the Reverse.

ImprovementMay 16, 2026

Variant Selection in the Set Gallery Panel

The card detail drawer in the Set Gallery now shows per-variant add buttons — Standard, Holo, Reverse Holo, and 1st Edition — whenever a card has multiple printings. Variants are fetched automatically when you open a card.

ImprovementMay 16, 2026

Graded Card Print View — Slab Design

Graded cards in the print view now look like miniature grading slabs. The design includes an acrylic housing, a faded card image aligned to the top, and a company-colored label strip showing the grade, card name, set name, and cert number.

ImprovementMay 16, 2026

Improved Ungraded Card Print View

Placeholder cards in the print view got a cleaner look: 25% opacity card image, a white info strip with the card name, variant badge, set name, and card number formatted as 45/100. Minimalist mode shows a ghost watermark of the card name instead of the image.

NewApril 9, 2026

Pokémon Browser

You can now browse every Pokémon in Pokédex order from the new Pokémon page. Click any Pokémon to see all its TCG cards across every set, with the set name and card number shown on each card. Search by name or Pokédex number on the list page, and add cards directly to your binder.

NewMarch 29, 2026

Sets Page Search

Finding a specific set just got a lot faster. The Sets page now has a real-time search bar — type a set name like "Prismatic Evolutions" or a series name like "Scarlet & Violet" and the grid filters instantly. No page reload, no scrolling through hundreds of sets.

NewMarch 29, 2026

Set Gallery

Every set now has a Gallery view showing all cards in the set with their collection status. Track which cards you own, which ones are missing, and see your progress at a glance.

Undo & Redo in the Binder Editor
