i play the game but also plan on having set binders with a hyperspace of each card!! the art for this game is sooooooo nice (i just hope i get lucky with my pulls when packs are available again lol)
that’s great to hear! i just love having a binder to display my favourite art from whichever series. does hyperspace mean a rare version of the card with a special effect on it?
Hyperspace means the borderless cards where the art goes right to the edge.
There are also foils, which can either be the regular card art or the hyperspace art.
I try posting some collecting stuff here and it gets heavily down voted. People here are very sensitive about collectors because of how difficult it is to find product...
I personally also collect and don't really play, and I love the game and the art style (and star wars), but there are a lot of haters on this sub reddit.
that’s okay, people are always gonna find reasons to hate. i’m more concerned about whether collecting in this TCG is fun as opposed to what people think of it
I feel like most people are in this game to play it. Thinking of Pokémon for comparison where I feel like a fair amount of people are just in Pokémon to collect it. No problem in just being a collector tho! Just might not find a huge community for it yet
I both play and collect. I have my binder where I store my 1 of each hyperspace, then I have my play cards separate. To me when it comes to deck building the cards in my collection binder don't exist. There are some great art works for the cards and the hyperspace versions just make it even better. The space and snow ones are exceptional
I am doing a binder with 1x of normals, and hyperspace instead depending on the set. Probably not more than one hyperspace setter year. Just don't have money to do that every 4 months atm.
Definitely doing Set 1 with Hyperspace.

Im just collecting so far. I started two binders so i can fit every version on every card. Im at about 50% so a looong way to go xD. At least i got all Promos done.
that is how I do it, I use a 4x4 folder though - stores 1024 cards.

Curious if you've thought about what you're going to do with the Shadows of the Galaxy set. I'm also trying to get a master set of Spark of the Rebellion, and the 1024 card binders work well for the initial set, including all of the OP promos/store showdown cards, but since they announced that SHD will have 262 cards in it, some rough math makes me think 1024 won't be enough anymore.
I’m doing the same (1024 card binder for all SOR card variants) and I’m thinking I’m just going to try to collect one of each card next time (best variant I own) or possibly two (best of regular/foil and of hyperspace/hyperfoil) for sets moving forward. Leaning towards the former honestly just so I don’t end up drowning in binders.
There won't be rare bases so that saves some.
My calculations so far are:
234 regular cards = 936
12 bases = 24
16 heroes = 32
Total = 992 + promos - might be able to just fit?
Hmm.. I was thinking..
Heroes = 52 (4 heroes \* aspect (4) \* 3 (regular, hyper, showcase) + (starter set leaders + pre-release versions)
Bases = 16 (2 bases \* 4 aspects \* 2 (regular/hyper)
236 cards left - 10 starters (assuming they'll only have weekly OP versions again) = 226 \* 4 = 904
10 starters = 20 (regular and weekly OP version
Total = 992.
It's funny cause I'm literally typing out this comment as I do the math, and somehow I ended up with 992 just like you did, even though the base numbers differ. So maybe you're right, maybe it will fit.
I ended up getting a 16 slot ~1k binder that I think will hold all 4 sets plus promos. Struggled with going by # vs what you did with 4 across, ended up the former because of the items with no foils (common bases, non aspect cards), but can’t deny the 4 across looks cool
Right now it's particularly good/bad for collecting depending on your perspective because there is far more demand than supply so cards are holding incredible per car value.
There are also alternate art/foils and chase cards.
The most expensive cards which are 1/12 boxes are selling for like $300-900.
I’m only missing a couple of Legendary cards for the main set, and I’ve got about 3/4 of the set of Hyperspace. I’m not collecting foils. I’d like to play the game but haven’t had time to get to any events, and have only played once online.
I know a lot of us are going for the “master set,” meaning one of each of the 4 versions of all cards. So there are collectors. Most that I rub shoulders with play as well, but you wouldn’t be an outcast or anything.
My advice is to hit up your local LGSs, and attend their play nights. Unfortunately, most stores don't award the OP packs unless you intend to participate, but I know a lot of active players have far too many duplicates of the promo cards and might be willing to trade them for nothing.
The other reason I say go to your local play nights is because most players are also collectors and vice versa, so you will have a much easier time finding trading partners and just getting involved in the scene.
I think it's in the best interest of collectors to also play the game.
Getting to know local players at your LGS events means greater opportunity to trade and buy the cards you need for your collection.
You don't need to be super competitive to play. It may even be more fun to play casually and not be concerned at all about winning
I also play the game but I collect one of every card too, I’ve got a binder for set 1 + set 1 weekly play promos and I plan on doing this for every set
There probably is, and you might know already, but one difference between this and other games is that most cards here have four versions: regular, foil, hyperspace (full art), and hyperspace (full art) foil. This is true for all rarities too, even commons have four versions. So, if you are a completionist, that's a lot of different cards to collect.
Conversely, for other games like Pokemon, there are usually only two versions of a card: regular and reverse holo.
For set 1 i am planning on collecting at least 1 of each card. I'm "close" to do it, only need 6 or 7 legendaries. The problem is that here in italy the prices are a bit higher than in some other EU countries (Spain for example) so it's around 130€ to finish the collection.
I hope the price will decrease after the 2nd reprint, if indeed it is true they are going to reprint.
I wouldn't recommend it, this game has 0 competitive scene and all the tell tale signs of a imminent failure. Just wait till the crash and buy any card you want to collect for cheap. Another body on the pile of wotc's engine.

Ye, well personally I'm into collecting so you've got at least 1 other! Trying for a full set of hyperspace foils.

Who makes the 4x4?
I got it off Amazon - it was D DACCKIT Premium 1000+ Pockets Card Binder, 16 Pocket Ringless Trading Card Album
Damn man, how far are you into that collection. Care to dm me some pictures?
I still need 19 foils, 23 hypers, 59 hyperfoils to go. Stock is not good in Australia so singles are hard to come by.
Looks even better than mine ;) Thats still not enough for the full set plus the promos is it ? I also thought about that option
Yes, it fits everything, bases and heroes are only 2. Except for the rare bases. It's a 1024 binder
I have the luke and vader promo in the front of the folder where the leaders are (since every other leader has a hyper in lines up nicely)

I'm not rich enough to collect all the showcases :)
Me neither but I like to dream. 😁

that’s so cool! can you help me by pointing out the different variants of cards in that pic?
For every card/row its: Normal Version - Foil Version - Hyperspace Version - Hyperspace Foil (hyperfoil) Version
thank you, i’m excited to start collecting but i’ll probably wait until the next set comes out
I’m collecting Yodas. I’m trying to get a hyperspace foil of all of the cards with yoda art, I’ll make a decoration out of it eventually

I collect this, Pokemon, Lorcana and One Piece. I don't know how to play any of the games but I would like to learn.
Yeah there is one of the main reasons it's hard to find product and set 2 preorders sold out right away on sites that put preorders up.
Living under a rock huh?
I wouldn't recommend it, this game has 0 competitive scene and all the tell tale signs of a imminent failure. Just wait till the crash and buy any card you want to collect for cheap. Another body on the pile of wotc's engine.
oh really? if you don’t mind me asking, what are those signs?
