The Entry Pack '08 master set takes 67 slots, set against 42 cards in the set itself, so each card adds about 1.6 slots on average. Normal finishes account for 63 of those slots and holos for just 4, which makes this a plain-finish chase with a small foil tail. Laid out nine to a side, the whole run fills 4 double-sided binder pages, a compact job for a Diamond & Pearl era release in the Japanese Pokémon TCG, dated November 30, 2007.
Most of the extra slots in the Entry Pack '08 master set come from edition splits rather than finishes. Normal Unlimited is the largest family at 30 slots, with Normal 1st Edition close behind at 27, so nearly every card needs a copy of both print states. A 1st Edition print is a distinct first-run version of a card, and each one is its own binder slot. A further 6 slots sit in a plain Normal family, while the holos split into 3 Holo Unlimited and 1 Holo 1st Edition.
| Variant family | Slots | Priced | Share of value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Normal Unlimited | 30 | 8 | 27% |
| Normal 1st Edition | 27 | 14 | 44% |

| Holo Unlimited | 3 | 3 | 23% |

Shares of the master set’s priced value, from the slot prices in the checklist above.
At 67 slots, the Entry Pack '08 master set is about 1.6 times the Diamond & Pearl era median of 41 slots, yet it still fits in a handful of binder pages. Among the 5 comparable sets in its era it ranks 1st by master set value, so the larger slot count and the higher total travel together here. The neighbouring Japanese products are smaller: Magmortar vs Electivire Deck Kit has 43 slots and a lower-value master set, while Heatran vs Regigigas Deck Kit has 41 slots and a similar one.

A Entry Pack '08 master set is one copy of every card AND every variant in the set — the 42 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.
