The Celebrations master set is a 25-slot job, exactly matching the 25 cards in the set, so there are no extra variants to chase and each card adds one slot. The master set checklist is a single holo run with no separate finishes to split, which makes it one of the lightest completions in the Sword & Shield era. Laid out nine to a side, all 25 slots fit on 2 double-sided binder pages. Celebrations is an English-language Pokémon TCG release from October 8, 2021, so the full set comes down to its 25 cards.
| Variant family | Slots | Priced | Share of value |

The Celebrations master set cost is concentrated at the very top. All 25 slots carry a price, and the ten most valuable slots hold 94 percent of the master set's total value, which leaves only 4 percent for the lower-value half of the set. The practical effect is that the lower slots barely move the total and a handful of cards set the figure. Condition matters little here: the MP and up total sits just 2 percent below the Near Mint total. All figures are as of October 24, 2026.

Shares of the master set’s priced value, from the slot prices in the checklist above.
A few slots decide whether the Celebrations master set gets finished. The Secret Rare Mew holds the top value rank, followed by the Surfing Pikachu VMAX and the Flying Pikachu VMAX, both Holo Rare VMAX cards, then the Holo Rare Pikachu and the Holo Rare V Surfing Pikachu V. Every one of these is the card's main print rather than a variant, so there are no hidden variant slots to catch a collector out. Together these five slots hold 84 percent of the master set's total value, which makes the final stretch of the checklist far more demanding than the first.
At 25 slots, the Celebrations master set is about 0.1 times the Sword & Shield era median of 358 slots, so it is a small job in size. Value tells a different story: it ranks 16th of 17 comparable sets in its era by master set value, so it sits near the bottom on both measures. Its neighbours are far larger. Evolving Skies runs to 378 slots and Fusion Strike to 508, and both of their master sets hold higher value than this one.

A Celebrations master set is one copy of every card AND every variant in the set — the 25 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.
