The hardest part of the Silver Deck Kit master set is a handful of slots, not its size. This Japanese Pokémon TCG product from the PCG era, released October 15, 2004, has 20 cards and 20 slots, so each card adds exactly one slot on average and no card brings a second variant. Normal prints account for 18 slots and holos for 2. Laid out nine to a side, the whole master set fills 2 double-sided binder pages, a very short project that is over quickly once the key cards are found.
The Silver Deck Kit master set is built from three families. Normal Unlimited is the largest with 14 slots, followed by plain Normal with 4 and Holo Unlimited with 2. Unlimited here means a print without a first edition marking, so the family label tells a collector which printing to look for. With no reverse holo or stamped families in the mix, the master set checklist stays compact, and a collector sorts the slots by finish and print rather than hunting extras.
| Variant family | Slots | Priced | Share of value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Normal Unlimited | 14 | 12 | 84% |
| Normal | 4 | 0 | — |
| Holo Unlimited | 2 | 1 | 16% |
The Silver Deck Kit master set cost is concentrated at the top. Its ten most valuable slots hold 98 percent of the total value, while the lower-value half of the priced slots holds only 8 percent. Normal prints carry 84 percent of the value and holos the other 16 percent. Only 14 of the 20 slots carry a price, so a few remain unpriced. These shares are as of October 24, 2026. The practical effect is that a handful of cards decide whether the master set is complete in spirit or only on paper.

Shares of the master set’s priced value, from the slot prices in the checklist above.
Five slots carry the difficulty of the Silver Deck Kit master set, together holding 87 percent of its total value. In value order they are the Normal Unlimited Dark Dragonite, the Holo Unlimited Rocket's Articuno ex, the Normal Unlimited Dark Gyarados, the Normal Unlimited Psyduck and the Normal Unlimited Magikarp. None is a variant of a card's main print, so the master set holds no surprise alternate print among its costliest slots. The challenge is plain: the two Dark cards and the holo Articuno ex are the ones that take real searching, and the rest of the checklist is comparatively easy.
At 20 slots, the Silver Deck Kit master set is about 0.8 times the era median of 27 slots, a smaller job than most sets of its time. Even so, it ranks 1st by master set value among the 4 comparable sets of the PCG era, so a small checklist does not mean a small total. The Rayquaza Constructed Starter Deck before it has 23 slots and the Emerald Gift Box (Deoxys) after it has 19 slots, so both neighbours are close in size to this master set.

A Silver Deck Kit master set is one copy of every card AND every variant in the set — the 20 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.
