Build a Mitsuhiro Arita binder without chasing every card
Artist binderJuly 29, 2026
Decide how far you want to go
Nine favorites
Mix eras and rarities on one page. The illustrator credit is the only rule you need.
One per artwork
Collect each illustration once and skip repeat printings unless you want them side by side.
Chronological collection
Sort by first release to show how Arita's work changes across the history of the TCG.
Arita page ideas
Base Set favorites
Charizard, Pikachu, and Squirtle make a strong first page without committing to every Arita card.
Pokemon and partner
Tag Team cards give Arita's larger scenes their own clean three-card row.
The 151 water story
Squirtle, Wartortle, and Blastoise ex share one shoreline across three stages of the weather.
What about expensive or missing cards?
Leave their pockets open and save the cards. A planned gap keeps the release order intact without using a fake card or rearranging the binder later.
If a graded card stays outside the binder, keep its pocket in the plan and note that the original is stored separately.
Build it in Card Binder Ideas
The four-page starter holds 36 cards. Search by illustrator, build one finished nine-card page, then decide whether to continue by era or by visual theme.
