Ask us anything →What exactly do I get?
8 extended-art panels, printed on heavyweight matte card at 300 DPI and corner-rounded like a real card. They slot into the 8 outer pockets of a standard 9-pocket binder page, and your card goes in the middle to complete the scene.
Is my card included?
No - the panels are designed around a card you already own. The middle pocket is left free for it.
Will it fit my binder?
Every panel is standard card size (63 x 88 mm), so it fits any 9-pocket page: Vault X, Ultra Pro, Ultimate Guard, Card Prime and the rest. Sleeved cards fit too.
How is it printed?
We print in the UK on heavyweight matte stock at 300 DPI, then cut and round every corner. Matte means no glare in the binder sleeve, so the scene reads as one picture with your card.
How fast do you ship?
Orders ship within 1-2 working days, sleeved and flat in a rigid do-not-bend mailer. UK delivery is free and tracked (Royal Mail Tracked 48). We also ship worldwide - you'll see the options and price at checkout.
Do you have multi-buy deals?
Yes, applied automatically in the basket: 15% off 2 sets, 20% off 3 and 25% off 4 or more. Sign up to the newsletter for 10% off your first order too.
Can you do a card that isn't in the shop?
Almost certainly. Send us a custom request with the card name and set and we'll come back with a mock-up and price. We also do combo pages where two or three cards share one scene.
Is this official Pokémon merchandise?
No. The Alt Art Co is an independent fan artist, and we're not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Nintendo, Creatures, GAME FREAK or The Pokémon Company. Each scene is our own artwork, painted out from the card's original art so it lines up with your card. The printed panels don't include official logos or card scans. Our product photos show an example card in the centre pocket for illustration only - the card itself isn't included.
Do you use AI?
Yes, as part of the process, and we'd rather be upfront about it. A card only shows a small window of its scene, so we use AI-assisted tools to help extend that world across eight panels in the card's style.
That's the starting point, not the finished page. Every design is checked and reworked by hand: we fix anatomy and perspective, match colours and lighting to the real card, line up the seams between panels, sketch over parts that don't work, and throw away plenty of attempts. If a page doesn't look right next to the real card, it doesn't go in the shop.
The vast majority of it runs locally on our own PC in the studio rather than in a big cloud data centre, so it uses about as much power as a gaming PC while it renders.
The panels don't contain official card scans or logos - the only official artwork on the finished page is your own card in the middle.
What if something arrives damaged?
Send us a photo through the contact page and we'll reprint and resend it. You can also return unused items within 14 days of delivery under UK consumer rights.
