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, Play! Pokémon Stamps, etc. But this is personal preference — or sometimes known as a Grand Master Set.

How much does it cost to master Paldean Fates?

As of recent market tracking, the total value of a complete Paldean Fates Master Set sits just below $3,000 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.
