The BW7: Plasma Gale master set takes 139 slots for a set of just 79 cards, so each card adds about 1.8 slots on average once every print run is counted. Normal finishes account for 103 of those slots and holos for 36. Laid out nine to a side, the full run fills 8 double-sided binder pages. This is a Japanese Pokémon TCG expansion from the Black & White era, released September 14, 2012, and the master set checklist is a larger job than the card count first suggests.
The extra slots in the BW7: Plasma Gale master set come from print runs rather than reverse holos. The largest family is Normal 1st Edition at 52 slots, followed by Normal Unlimited at 47, Holo 1st Edition at 19 and Holo Unlimited at 17. A small group of 4 plain Normal slots sits outside those families. A 1st Edition print carries the edition mark and an Unlimited print does not, so each card with both versions fills two separate places in the binder.
| Variant family | Slots | Priced | Share of value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Normal 1st Edition | 52 | 42 | 7.7% |
| Normal Unlimited | 47 | 20 | 2.7% |
| Holo 1st Edition | 19 | 14 | 75% |
| Holo Unlimited | 17 | 8 | 14% |
| Normal | 4 | 0 | — |
As of October 24, 2026, 85 of the 139 slots carry a price, and the value of the BW7: Plasma Gale master set is heavily concentrated. The ten most valuable slots hold 86 percent of the total, while the lower-value half of the priced slots holds just 4 percent. By finish, holos account for 90 percent of the master set cost and normal prints for the remaining 10 percent. The master set cost is therefore decided by a handful of holo slots, and the long tail of normal prints barely moves it.

Shares of the master set’s priced value, from the slot prices in the checklist above.
Five slots hold 83 percent of the BW7: Plasma Gale master set's total value. The top slot is the Holo 1st Edition Articuno EX, a Super Rare, and it is a variant rather than the card's main print. The Holo Unlimited Articuno EX ranks 2nd, and the Holo 1st Edition Cobalion EX, also a Super Rare, ranks 3rd. Next come the Holo 1st Edition Lucario, a Rare, and the Holo 1st Edition Lugia EX, also a Rare. Three of the five are variants rather than main prints, so the difficulty of this master set sits in the 1st Edition holo slots as much as in the Super Rare cards.
At 139 slots, the BW7: Plasma Gale master set is about 1.6 times the era median of 90 slots among Black & White sets, and it ranks 2nd by master set value among the 18 comparable sets of its era. The previous set, BW6: Cold Flare, takes 115 slots and its master set holds lower value. The next set, Everyone's Exciting Battle, is a far smaller job at 47 slots, and its master set holds similar value. The Plasma Gale master set is a long checklist with value packed into a few slots.

A BW7: Plasma Gale master set is one copy of every card AND every variant in the set — the 79 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.
