SM9: Tag Bolt Master Set Checklist & Cost

Variants in the SM9: Tag Bolt master set

The SM9: Tag Bolt master set has only two variant families, so there is no reverse holo layer to track and no stamped or edition-specific prints to hunt down. Normal accounts for 82 slots and Holo for 36. In practice that means the master set checklist is simply the set itself: each card appears once in the finish it was printed in. For a Japanese master set this keeps the binder plan simple, and the only real question for any slot is whether it is a holo or a normal card.

Where the SM9: Tag Bolt master set's cost sits

The SM9: Tag Bolt master set cost is heavily concentrated at the top. Its ten most valuable slots hold 76 percent of the total value, while the lower-value half of the priced slots together hold just 2 percent. By finish, holo slots account for 96 percent of the value and normal slots for 4 percent, even though normals make up most of the checklist. Prices exist for 111 of the 118 slots as of October 24, 2026. Most of the set is therefore easy to fill, and the master set cost is decided by a short list of holos.

Hardest SM9: Tag Bolt master set slots

Five holos define the difficulty of the SM9: Tag Bolt master set, and together they hold 51 percent of its total value. In value order they are the Super Rare holos of Magikarp & Wailord GX, Gengar & Mimikyu GX, Celebi & Venusaur GX and Sabrina's Suggestion, followed by the Hyper Rare holo of Latias & Latios GX. All five are the cards' main holo prints rather than variants, so there is no hidden variant slot here. The difficulty sits in the tag team GX cards and one Trainer supporter.
