The Trading Card Binder must be obtained before any cards can be collected. The method of acquisition differs by region.
Kanto
Celadon City - Game Corner
- In Kanto, the Trading Card Binder is obtained through the Celadon Game Corner.
- Trainers must exchange 999 Game Corner Coins to receive the binder.
- This makes the binder a late-early or mid-game luxury item for Kanto trainers.
Johto
Goldenrod City - Trading Card Store
