Master Set Total: 613 cards
Completion Difficulty: Extreme
❋Common Mistake: Many sites/checklists incorrectly overstate the amount of cards in this set because they mistakenly include 2 reverse holos for the Trainer cards as well.
The Fix: In Ascended Heroes, the Trainer cards get one reverse holo, while the Pokémon get 2: an Energy Reverse Holo as well as various Poké Ball Reverse Holo.
Hope this helps avoid "ghost slots" in your binder!

16-Pocket layout require 20 double-sided pages minimum.
What size binder should I buy?
Since the Ascnded Heroes Master Set has a total of 613 cards we recommend:
✔ 12-Pocket Binder with at least 26 pages capable of holding 624 cards.
We recommend the Vault X Exo-Tec White Edition Zip binder for the Ascended Heroes Set.
Are promos part of the 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 Ascended Heroes?
As of recent market tracking, the total value of a complete Ascended Heroes Master Set sits just below $6,000 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.
