Duplicate cards sorter: trade, play, bulk or set aside
Duplicates go into four piles: cards someone wants or with a high rarity are traded or sold, up to four copies of each playable card stay for decks, commons with no demand go to bulk, and damaged or doubtful copies are set aside. Add your duplicates and the tool sorts them, counts the lot sheet for your bulk pile and sends the trade pile to the printable list.
The rules behind each pile
- Set aside first: torn, creased or wet copies and any card you suspect is fake are never offered as trade stock.
- Play: up to four copies of each playable card, because official Pokémon rules allow at most four cards with the same name in a 60-card deck (Basic Energy excepted). A fifth copy goes to another pile.
- Trade or sell: high rarities, special finishes and anything someone is looking for, even a common.
- Bulk: commons and uncommons in good condition with no specific demand, for a themed lot, a gift for a beginner, a donation or a bulk sale.
For the lot sheet, each language or finish of the same card counts as a different card, as our guide recommends. Price is not needed to sort: check it later, only for the trade pile.
