If you’re aiming for a Grand Master Set (396 cards) we recommend:

9-Pocket layout requires 22 double-sided pages minimum.

12-Pocket layout requires 17 double-sided pages minimum.

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

As of recent market tracking, the total value of a complete Mega Evolution Master Set sits just under $1,600 USD (not including promos and variants).

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