How to organise a Expedition Base Set master set binder

Number order, printings together: each card followed by its reverse holo and pattern versions. Easiest to see what is missing.
Main set first: cards 1 to 165 in one block, all reverse holos in a second block, secret rares at the end. Looks cleaner when the main set is done.
Print placeholders for the cards you still need, so every pocket shows what goes there.
