The variants are what turn the CSV8C master set into a 616-slot job, and the 264 cards in the set are only the starting point. Each card adds about 2.3 slots on average, so the master set checklist runs far past the card count. Reverse holos make up 352 of the slots, normal prints fill 154 and holos 110. Laid out at nine cards a side, the full run takes 35 double-sided binder pages, a large undertaking for this Simplified Chinese Pokémon TCG set from the Scarlet & Violet era, released March 13, 2026.
Four families make up the CSV8C master set. The reverse holo cards come in two foil patterns, Reverse Holo Foil Masterball and Reverse Holo Foil Pokeball, with 176 slots each, so every reverse holo card needs a copy of both patterns. Commons, uncommons and rares carry these reverse holo slots, while the Normal family adds 154 slots and the Holo family 110. A collector should treat the two reverse holo patterns as separate binder slots even though they share a card, which is why the reverse holo count dwarfs the card count in this master set.

Shares of the master set’s priced value, from the slot prices in the checklist above.
At 616 slots, the CSV8C master set is about 1.6 times the Scarlet & Violet era median of 392, so it is a bigger job than most sets of its period. By master set value it ranks 8th among the 11 comparable sets of the era, so the long checklist does not translate into one of the era's higher-value master sets. The neighbouring releases are much smaller: Gem Pack Vol.4 has 196 slots and Gem Pack Vol.5 also has 196, yet the master sets of both hold higher value than this one.

A CSV8C (璀璨诡幻) master set is one copy of every card AND every variant in the set — the 264 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.
