The variants are what turn a small set into a larger job: the sA: Fire Starter Set V master set takes 48 slots for only 23 cards, because each card adds about 2.1 slots on average. Normal prints fill 22 of them, reverse holos another 22 and holos 4. Laid out nine to a side, the whole master set checklist fills 3 double-sided binder pages. The set is part of the Sword & Shield era of the Japanese Pokémon TCG and was released on November 29, 2019.
Three families make up the sA: Fire Starter Set V master set. The Normal family and the Reverse Holo family each hold 22 slots, so nearly every card in this Japanese Pokémon TCG set has a plain print and a reverse holo print, and a reverse holo carries its foil pattern across the card rather than only the artwork window. The Holo family adds the final 4 slots, which are the cards printed with a holographic finish. There are no stamped or edition-specific families in this master set.
| Variant family | Slots | Priced | Share of value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Normal | 22 | 7 | 60% |
| Reverse Holo | 22 | 1 | 13% |
| Holo | 4 | 4 | 27% |

Shares of the master set’s priced value, from the slot prices in the checklist above.
At 48 slots, the sA: Fire Starter Set V master set is about 2.3 times the era median of 21 slots, so it is a sizeable undertaking for a Sword & Shield set of its type. By master set value it ranks 12th among the 21 comparable sets of its era. The preceding set, BW: Extra Regulation Box, also runs to 48 slots, and its master set holds higher value. The following set, sB: Sword & Shield Premium Trainer Box, is half the size at 24 slots.

A sA: Fire Starter Set V master set is one copy of every card AND every variant in the set — the 23 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.
