01 / BUILD

From an entire series
to your personal favourites.

Start with a blank binder or generate a layout from your imported sets. Choose your pocket grid, leave space for missing cards, and make every page your own.

The details matter.

Track quantities, conditions and wishlists by printing. Keep Normal, Holo and Reverse Holo records distinct.

COLLECTING IS PERSONAL

Not just what it’s worth.
What it means to you.

A FEW THINGS WORTH KNOWING

Good questions.
Straight answers.

Send a question
What can I do with CardShelf today?

Track ownership by printing and condition, create custom binders, generate layouts from imported sets or series, customise wallpapers, view market-price references, share read-only binders and export your collection records. Eligible members can also learn, practise and play private Pokémon matches in Arena.

How can I start using CardShelf?

Browse the catalogue for free, then create a Free account when registration is open. Private collecting tools and Arena depend on your membership; see Plans & access. Existing invited testers retain their non-expiring collecting access.

What is the new CardShelf Arena?

A first-person Pokémon tabletop with guided training, computer practice and private matches. The game resolves supported attacks and effects while you choose your moves. Arena requires Collector, Collector Plus or an explicitly assigned Complimentary account, and must be enabled on the site.

Are market prices live?

Prices refresh in the background for tracked cards. They depend on the source provider and are not a second-by-second feed. CardShelf shows timestamps, pricing coverage and AUD reference conversions. Estimates are not condition-specific appraisals.

Is my collection visible to everyone?

No. Your collection and workspace require sign-in. You choose whether to enable a read-only binder link. That link shares its planned layout and appearance, not your private quantities or notes, and you can revoke it.

Can I take my collection records with me?

Yes. Download your ownership records as JSON or CSV. Printable binder placeholders and checklists are also included. A collection export is not a complete server backup.
