The hardest part of the SV: Venusaur, Charizard & Blastoise Special Deck Set master set is a short checklist dominated by a few slots, but the size comes first. The master set takes 52 slots, exactly matching the 52 cards in the set, so each card adds one slot and there is no reverse holo layer to chase. Normal prints account for 49 slots and holo prints for 3. Laid out nine to a side, the full run fills 3 double-sided binder pages, a compact job for a Scarlet & Violet era release in the Japanese Pokémon TCG, dated November 10, 2023.
The master set checklist for this Japanese Pokémon TCG set has only two variant families. Normal prints make up 49 slots, and holo prints add the remaining 3. There are no reverse holo, stamped or special print families to track, so how many cards the set holds is also how many slots the binder needs. For a collector, that means each card is a single position: once a card is in the binder, its slot is filled, and the three holo slots are the only finish distinction in the whole master set.
| Variant family | Slots | Priced | Share of value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Normal | 49 | 43 | 96% |
| Holo | 3 | 3 | 4.2% |
The master set cost is highly concentrated. As of October 24, 2026, 45 of the 52 slots carry a price, and the ten most valuable slots hold 90 percent of the master set's total value. The lower-value half of the priced slots adds up to just 3 percent. By finish, normal prints hold 96 percent of the total and holo prints hold 4 percent, so the value sits in a handful of normal-print slots rather than in the holos. Completing the bulk of the checklist is a small matter next to the top few positions.

Shares of the master set’s priced value, from the slot prices in the checklist above.
Five slots carry 84 percent of the master set's total value, and they define how hard this set is to finish. The Normal print of Charmander ranks first, followed by the Normal prints of Bulbasaur and Squirtle in second and third. Charizard ex in its Holo finish is fourth, and the Normal print of Ivysaur is fifth. None of these is an alternate variant of a card; each is the main print of its slot, so the difficulty here comes from the cards themselves rather than from a hidden finish. The starter-line Pokémon fill most of the list.
At 52 slots, this master set is 1.7 times the era median of 31 slots, so it is a larger job than a typical Scarlet & Violet release. By master set value it ranks 2nd among the 24 comparable sets of its era. The neighbouring sets are smaller in value: the previous set, SV: Skeledirge ex Terastal Starter Set, has 20 slots and a lower-value master set, while the next, SV: Ancient Koraidon ex Starter Deck & Build Set, has 53 slots and also holds lower value. This SV: Venusaur, Charizard & Blastoise Special Deck Set master set is the one to beat among its neighbours.

A SV: Venusaur, Charizard & Blastoise Special Deck Set master set is one copy of every card AND every variant in the set — the 52 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.
