The variants are what stretch the CS3aC master set from 184 cards to 290 slots, an average of 1.6 slots per card. In this Sword & Shield era set from the Simplified Chinese Pokémon TCG, released November 17, 2023, reverse holos fill 106 slots, holos 92 and normal prints 92. Laid out nine to a side, the master set checklist fills 17 double-sided binder pages, a mid-sized job for the era.
The CS3aC master set is built from three families: Reverse Holo with 106 slots, Holo with 92 and Normal with 92. The extra slots come from reverse holos, which this set carries on its common, uncommon and rare cards, so those cards each need two copies for the binder. A reverse holo is the same card printed with the foil pattern on the card body rather than the illustration box, and in a master set it counts as its own slot. The set has no stamped or edition-specific families.
| Variant family | Slots | Priced | Share of value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reverse Holo | 106 | 0 | — |
| Holo | 92 | 30 | 100% |
| Normal | 92 | 1 | <1% |

Shares of the master set’s priced value, from the slot prices in the checklist above.
At 290 slots, the CS3aC master set sits about equal to the Sword & Shield era median of 280, so it is a typical-sized job for its era rather than an outlier. By master set value it ranks 3rd among the 15 comparable sets of the era, which puts its total value well above most of its peers. The previous set, CS2.5C, has 79 slots, far fewer than this one. The next set, CS3.5C, has 95 slots, and its master set holds lower value. Completing this master set is a noticeably bigger project than either neighbor.
A CS3aC (洪荒演武 茂) master set is one copy of every card AND every variant in the set — the 184 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.
