The Crown Zenith master set comes to 274 slots, set against 160 cards: 159 in the official count plus one secret. That works out to about 1.7 slots per card, because many cards are collected in more than one finish. Reverse holos make up 112 slots, normal prints 93 and holos 69. Laid out nine to a side, the master set fills 16 double-sided binder pages, a modest job for the English-language Pokémon TCG Sword & Shield era, in a set released on January 20, 2023.
Four variant families make up the Crown Zenith master set checklist, and the reverse holo family is the largest at 112 slots. Reverse holos are carried by the Common, Uncommon, Rare and Holo Rare cards, which is why the slot count runs well above the number of cards. Next come the normal prints at 93 slots and the standard holos at 67. The smallest family is the Holo Jumbo, with just two slots, a oversized print that needs its own binder placeholder or storage rather than a standard pocket.
| Variant family | Slots | Priced | Share of value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reverse Holo | 112 | 112 | 21% |
| Normal | 93 | 93 | 5.7% |
| Holo | 67 | 67 | 72% |
| Holo Jumbo | 2 | 1 | <1% |
As of October 24, 2026, 273 of the 274 Crown Zenith master set slots carry a price, and the value is concentrated at the top. The ten most valuable slots hold 44 percent of the master set cost, while the lower-value half of the priced slots adds up to only 9 percent. By finish, holos hold 73 percent of the total, reverse holos 21 percent and normal prints just 6 percent. Condition matters little here: an MP and up master set sits 7 percent below the Near Mint total.

Shares of the master set’s priced value, from the slot prices in the checklist above.
The hardest Crown Zenith master set slots are mostly holo prints of the set's top cards: the Secret Rare Pikachu, the Ultra Rare Elesa's Sparkle, the Holo Rare VSTAR Charizard and the Radiant Rare Radiant Charizard. The surprise sits in third place, where the reverse holo of the Rare Snorlax is a variant slot that outranks most of the set's main prints in value. Together these five slots hold 30 percent of the master set's total value, so finishing them is most of the work.
At 274 slots, the Crown Zenith master set is about 0.8 times the Sword & Shield era median of 358, so it is a smaller project than most. By master set value it ranks 15th of 17 comparable sets in the era. The set before it, Silver Tempest, asks for 366 slots and holds more value, and the set after it, Scarlet & Violet, runs to 453 slots and also holds more value. Crown Zenith is the compact, lower-value end of that stretch.

A Crown Zenith master set is one copy of every card AND every variant in the set — the 160 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.
