Are promos part of the master set?

Promos are not officially part of a master set because they are released separately from the main numbered expansion. However, some collectors choose to include stamped promos, store exclusives, or pre-release promos when building a Grand Master Set.

How much does it cost to master Mega Evolution?

Based on recent market tracking, a complete Mega Evolution Master Set is valued at just under $1,600 USD.

Completion Difficulty:‍ ‍Medium

Even though the 151 Master Set has fewer cards overall, it’s still a challenging set to finish.

The main reason is the Gen 1 Tax, where the Illustration Rare and Special Illustration Rare cards of those fan-favorite Kanto starters are especially popular, tougher to pull and more expensive to buy.

Binder Size

Which Binder is Best?

Since the 151 Master Set has a total of 360 cards you'll need:

✔ 9-Pocket Binder holding 360 cards
✔ 12-Pocket Binder holding 480 cards (if you’re planning on adding Promos & Variants)

We personally use the Vault X Exo-Tec Anniversary Edition Zip binder for our 151 Master Set.

151 Master Set FAQ

How many cards are in the 151 Master Set?

A full 151 Master Set contains:

165 standard set cards
153 reverse holo versions
42 Secret Rares

Total: 360 cards

What counts as a complete 151 Master Set?

A complete 151 Master Set includes 165 regular numbered cards, 153 reverse holo versions, and 42 Secret Rare cards.

A Master Set typically does not include promos or stamped cards. Those are generally included only if you are building a Grand Master Set.

How many binder pages do I need for a 151 Master Set?

For 360 cards, here’s what you need depending on binder layout:

9-Pocket layout requires 20 double-sided pages minimum.

12-Pocket layout requires 15 double-sided pages minimum.

What size binder should I buy for a 151 Master Set?

Since the 151 Master Set has a total of 310 cards we recommend:

✔ 9-Pocket Binder with at least 20 pages capable of holding 360 cards.

We personally use the Vault X Exo-Tec ME1 Edition Zip binder for our Mega Evolution Set.

‍ ‍

Are promos part of a master set?

In short, no. Promos are not officially part of a master set, since they are released separately from the main numbered expansion.

However, many collectors choose to add Stamped Promos, Store exclusives, Pre-release promos, etc.

But this is personal preference — or sometimes known as a Grand Master Set.

How much does it cost to master 151?

As of recent market tracking, the total value of a complete 151 Master Set sits just under $2,300 USD.

We personally use (and love) Collectr to track the market value of our sets. It’s a great (and free!) way to keep tabs on your collection’s value over time.
