The variants carry the CS2aC master set: 239 slots drawn from only 143 cards in this Simplified Chinese Pokémon TCG release, an average of 1.7 slots per card. Reverse holos account for 96 of the slots, normal prints for 84 and holos for 59, so the master set checklist is shaped far more by finish than by card count. Laid out nine to a side, the full run fills 14 double-sided binder pages, a modest job for a Sword & Shield era set. The gap between 143 cards and 239 slots comes entirely from the extra finishes.
The CS2aC master set is built from just three variant families: Reverse Holo with 96 slots, Normal with 84 and Holo with 59. There are no stamped or edition families to chase. The reverse holo family is the one that adds depth, because common, uncommon and rare cards each get a reverse holo slot alongside their normal print, which is why that family is the largest. A reverse holo is the same card printed with the foil pattern on the card body rather than in the art window, and in a master set it counts as a separate slot from the standard print. Holo slots cover the cards printed with a holographic art window.
| Variant family | Slots | Priced | Share of value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reverse Holo | 96 | 1 | 11% |
| Normal | 84 | 6 | 7.0% |
| Holo | 59 | 12 | 82% |

Shares of the master set’s priced value, from the slot prices in the checklist above.
At 239 slots, the CS2aC master set is a lighter job than most of its era: the Sword & Shield era median is 280 slots, so this set sits at 0.9 times that figure. By master set value it ranks 10th among the 15 comparable sets of the era, which puts it in the middle of the field rather than at either end. The binder commitment of 14 double-sided pages is small next to the larger sets of the period, and the three-finish structure keeps the checklist simple to track from the first slot to the last.

A CS2aC (浓墨重彩 黎) master set is one copy of every card AND every variant in the set — the 143 cards on this page, with their Normal, Reverse Holo and Holo prints each listed and priced on their own. Sign in and the checklist tracks what you own, in step with the Cardboard Alpha app.
The large NM-only figure is a complete catalog estimate when every printing has current NM pricing. LP, MP, HP, and DMG “and up” totals below it use the requested condition or a better available condition. These are summed reference prices, not a quote from one seller; a dash means the current market does not cover every printing yet.
“LP and up” means lightly played or better: the total uses LP when available, then NM as the better-condition fallback. The MP, HP, and DMG tiers follow the same pattern.
