Curious about trade binder
The Trading Post forum

SO I need to re make my trade binder and I was wondering, How do other people choose what goes in it? So I'm going to ask you guys, do you only choose certain cards? By rarity? Tell me how you do it! :D

I have all mythics, rares, and uncommons, a few foils, the uncommons mostly just to pad out other trades, the binder gives you the option to separate by rarity when viewing it, so I don't really see it as any inconvenience to list the uncommons, and saves me the time of having to go through and look whenever I am asked if I have one. Just my opinion, and I trade on here a ton, so if you want to do some trading, hit me up whenever you are looking for something new!

I think it's whatever you're willing to trade that are what other people would want for all formats ... so really all your mythics, rares, uncommons and commons that are playable in all the various formats. Though most commons and uncommons are so easy to come by... it's the more interesting and "rare uncommons" people want like Rancor that you should find time and energy to list. Just be sure to make sure you list only the cards you want to trade. Some have put up stuff they don't want to trade to show off a collection and then have to turn down offers. Also don't forget to keep it updated for similar reasons.
Personally, I put what I actually keep in my trade binder I carry with me... Also I think I need to update my binder from the past weekend of trading.

Well said gufymike, I did forget to add that, only list things you actually want to trade. Very important. Good catch.

Leave out all commons and uncommons except those that are actually valuable. They clutter up the binder.
Also, don't ever list cards that aren't for trade. I hate that.

Not listing commons because the rarity was common at one point is silly. If you have 20 Counterspell s you should list them. Someone else come to the rescue with more examples of expensive commons. Idk zen lands etc. point is list what you think is worth people looking at.

Delver of Secrets Flip , Tragic Slip Thought Scour for today's meta. Rhystic Tutor Academy at Tolaria West Lotus Petal for some others in commander/modern/legacy/vintage ... alpha/beta commons also.

I try to leave out commons and uncommons unless they are things like Remand or valuable foils. After that almost all my rares and mythics go in
