Base Set master set

A master set is one of every card in every printing that comes in packs: the 102 cards plus each reverse holo. Here is the count, the binder you need and a page-by-page plan.

Base Set master set count

Printings from TCGdex. Promo printings are stamped cards or foils sold only in boxes, blisters or events, not in booster packs. Error cards are not counted.

How to organise a Base Set master set binder

1. Number order, printings together: each card followed by its reverse holo and pattern versions. Easiest to see what is missing.
2. Main set first: cards 1 to 102 in one block, all reverse holos in a second block, secret rares at the end. Looks cleaner when the main set is done.
3. Print placeholders for the cards you still need, so every pocket shows what goes there.
