Frequently Asked Questions

Every Pokémon TCG card sharing some theme — across every English set, promo, and printing. MasterSet.io curates checklists across four kinds: Pokémon (every card featuring one character), 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.

We curate standard-size official cards by default and let you toggle inclusion rules (promos, reverse holos, holos only, English only, and more) via rule presets — Recommended, Unique Printings, Variant Inclusive, or Completionist. Some toggles are approximate while we expand the underlying card data.

Yes. Each master set has a rule preset plus individual toggles at the top of its checklist, so you can decide exactly what counts toward your completion — the choice is saved to the URL so it’s shareable.

Each card has a market value; the set value sums them. We follow a price precedence (manual override → mapped provider → enrichment price → stale → unknown). See the Methodology page for details.

When we have a confirmed TCGplayer product match, card pages show a direct "Buy on TCGplayer" link. When configured, we also show live eBay listings. Otherwise — or when there’s no live listing — we fall back to tracked search links on eBay and TCGplayer.
