Emerging Powers Master Set Checklist & Cost

Variants in the Emerging Powers master set

Three variant families make up the Emerging Powers master set: Normal, Reverse Holo and Holo. Every card has a normal print, which is why that family is the largest. The reverse holo slots come from the Rare, Uncommon and Common cards, each carrying an extra version with the foil pattern across the card body rather than only the artwork box. The 7 holo slots are the set's holographic rares. No stamped or special families appear in the checklist.
