A personal project
I collect cards, complete binders, and give them away.
I pick up Pokémon cards from card shops around Europe and the United States, sort them into binders, and give a binder away when it is complete. The binders go to children: a hospital ward, a shelter, an after-school club. I write down each one that leaves.
This site is the record. The counts start at zero and move only when a shipment is real.
Set binders
A set binder holds every card from one set. Paldean Fates is the idea in miniature: the whole set, with nothing left out on purpose.
Generation binders
A generation binder holds one card of every species from that generation, from any set. Generation 1 is the original 151. Generations 1 through 9 are 1,025 species.
Bulk is welcome
A Magikarp from a bulk box is as welcome as a holo. I am gathering different cards, and one of each Pokémon. I am not building a collection to sell, and this site does not say what a card would sell for.

Nothing has been logged yet. Every figure here is zero until I record a real shipment.

Recent thanks
No shop from these countries has sent cards yet. Names will show up here after the first parcel.
If you run a shop
Spare cards and bulk you do not need are what I am looking for. Write to me at magnus@linksforcards.com and tell me what you can send.
In return I trade a bit of SEO help for Pokémon cards — trading up, quietly, one shipment at a time.
Shops that send cards are thanked by name, with an ordinary link to the shop.
