The CSV5C master set for the Simplified Chinese Pokémon TCG comes to 394 slots, set against 164 cards, so each card adds about 2.4 slots on average. Reverse holos make up 230 of them, normal prints 102 and holos 62. Laid out nine cards to a side, the full master set checklist fills 22 double-sided binder pages. It is a mid-sized job for a Scarlet & Violet era release, dated September 12, 2025.
Four families make up the CSV5C master set, and the reverse holo side is the one that does the work. Reverse Holo Foil Masterball and Reverse Holo Foil Pokeball each take 115 slots, so every card that has a reverse holo needs both patterns in the binder. Those reverse holo slots run across commons, uncommons and rares. The Normal family adds 102 slots and Holo adds 62. A Masterball or Pokeball pattern is its own slot, separate from the plain print of the same card.
| Variant family | Slots | Priced | Share of value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reverse Holo Foil Masterball | 115 | 14 | 6.2% |
| Reverse Holo Foil Pokeball | 115 | 44 | 15% |
| Normal | 102 | 55 | 17% |
| Holo | 62 | 53 | 61% |

Shares of the master set’s priced value, from the slot prices in the checklist above.
At 394 slots, the CSV5C master set sits about equal to the Scarlet & Violet era median of 392, so it is a typical-sized project for the Simplified Chinese Pokémon TCG. By master set value it ranks 9th among the 11 comparable sets in its era. The previous set, CSV4C, takes 395 slots and its master set holds higher value. The next set, Gem Pack Vol.3, is much smaller at 136 slots, yet its master set also holds higher value, so size alone does not decide where a master set sits.

A CSV5C (黑晶炽诚) master set is one copy of every card AND every variant in the set — the 164 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.
