Frequently Asked Questions

Every Pokémon TCG card sharing some theme — across every English set, promo, and printing. MasterSet.io curates checklists across four kinds: Characters (every card featuring one Pokémon), Expansions (a complete printed set), Artists (every card credited to one illustrator), and Promos (Black Star Promos and other promotional series). Browse all of them at /browse/sets.

Yes. Every English printing is its own card: finishes like reverse holo, editions like 1st Edition, and stamps like prerelease or staff. We only list a version when there’s evidence it was printed. Some related cards, such as an expansion’s promos or a vintage set’s 1st Edition print run, have their own companion master sets.

On character master sets, yes: Edit Rules lets you choose whether cameo cards and trophy cards count alongside the Pokémon’s own cards. Your choice is saved on your device. Other master sets always show every card.

Each card has a market value for an ungraded copy of that exact printing. A set’s value adds them up, and cost to complete adds up the cards you haven’t marked owned. See the Methodology page for how each card’s value is worked out.

Card pages show live eBay listings, scored for how closely they match the card, and a Buy Now button that searches eBay for it. When there are no good listings, we link to searches on eBay and TCGplayer.
