The variants are what turn Mysterious Mountains into a 112-slot job from only 91 cards, adding about 1.2 slots per card on average. In this Japanese Pokémon TCG e-Card era set, released October 4, 2002, the master set splits into 98 normal slots and 14 holo slots. Laid out at nine cards a side, the full master set checklist fills 7 double-sided binder pages, a compact binder project compared with most of its era.
Five variant families make up the Mysterious Mountains master set, and print edition drives nearly all of them. Normal 1st Edition is the largest at 39 slots, followed by Normal at 37 and Normal Unlimited at 22. The holo side splits the same way, with Holo 1st Edition at 8 slots and Holo Unlimited at 6. For a collector, a 1st Edition print is the earlier run marked with the edition stamp, while Unlimited is the print without it, so a single card can occupy a slot in each family.
| Variant family | Slots | Priced | Share of value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Normal 1st Edition | 39 | 31 | 31% |
| Normal | 37 | 1 | 1.8% |
| Normal Unlimited | 22 | 10 | 8.1% |
| Holo 1st Edition | 8 | 6 | 49% |
| Holo Unlimited | 6 | 3 | 11% |

Shares of the master set’s priced value, from the slot prices in the checklist above.
At 112 slots, the Mysterious Mountains master set is about equal to the e-Card era median of 122, so it is a typical-sized job for its period. By master set value it ranks 5th of 7 comparable sets in the era. The previous set, Split Earth, runs to 119 slots and its master set holds higher value, while the next set, ADV Expansion Pack, is smaller at 101 slots and holds lower value, which places Mysterious Mountains in the middle of that run.

A Mysterious Mountains master set is one copy of every card AND every variant in the set — the 91 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.
