# Your binder and the payout
Every pull waits in your Collector Binder until 17 November, when packs close, claims lock and the binder pays out.
## The Collector Binder
Every pull waits in your binder until 17 November. It keeps:
- your Pokémon cards and their total value
- your $HAPPIMEAL from token cards
- your **Round 1 cap**: the value of your best presale ticket
- your bonus tokens, from your best ticket
- your Golden Fries Points
- your streak
:::note[Tickets do not add up]
Your best ticket sets your Round 1 cap. A $250 ticket and a $100 ticket give you a $250 cap.
:::
## 17 November: the payout
At 00:00 UTC on 17 November, packs close and claims lock. Every claim post is checked; deleted posts void their packs. Then your binder pays out, and you choose once, for all your Pokémon cards:
| Choice | What you get |
|---|---|
| **Redeem the cards** | Their face value, shipped to you or cashed out, through the card provider |
| **Roll into Round 1 at 1.5×** | 1.5× their value as $HAPPIMEAL at the Round 1 price, credited as a Round 1 contribution. The cards go back to the pool. |
:::caution
The choice is final.
:::
Your token cards and presale ticket are yours either way. See [The presale](/presale/the-presale/) for how the ticket is used.
