What counts as a complete Black Bolt Master Set?
A complete Black Bolt Master Set includes every card that can be pulled from a booster pack.
Many collectors choose to include related promos and card variants, but a Master Set typically does not include promos or stamped cards. Including them is a matter of personal preference and is most often known as building a Grand Master Set.
What size binder should I buy for Black Bolt?
For a 404-card Black Bolt Master Set, you’ll need:
✔ 9-Pocket Binder with at least 23 dual-sided pages
✔ 12-Pocket Binder with at least 17 dual-sided pages
If you are aiming for a 429-card Grand Master Set, you’ll need:
✔ 9-Pocket Binder with at least 24 dual-sided pages
✔ 12-Pocket Binder with at least 18 dual-sided pages
We always recommend leaving some extra room, as additional variants may be released in the future.
We personally use the Vault X Exo-Tec SV10.5 Edition Zip Binder for our Black Bolt Master 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, and other variants.
This is a matter of personal preference and is most often known as a Grand Master Set.
How much does it cost to master Black Bolt?
The current value of a complete Black Bolt Master Set sits just above $3,600 USD, not including promos and variants.
We personally use and love Collectr to track the market value of our sets. It’s a great, free way to keep tabs on your collection’s value over time.
