Split the binder into four work queues
Steam provides one full-set achievement for blue, white, red, and purple cards. Treat each color as an independent checklist so a gap is easier to see than in one long mixed list.
Run a repeatable collection session
- Pick one color tab and note every empty in-game slot.
- Compare visible names with this database’s documented entries.
- Search, recycle, open boxes, and assemble fragments through normal play.
- Update standard copies and personally observed foils in the local tracker.
- Export JSON after a meaningful batch of progress.
Handle entries outside the public list
If your current game build shows a card that is absent here, trust the game. The public database is deliberately narrower than the in-game binder because it only publishes records supported by official public material.
Do not force an unlisted card into the wrong set based on artwork color. Record its in-game name and tab, then use the contact page to share the official or directly observable source.
Keep in mindThe set counts on KOTAMON DB are coverage counts, not official completion totals.
