FireRed & LeafGreen Master Set Checklist & Cost

Variants in the FireRed & LeafGreen master set

Most of the FireRed & LeafGreen master set checklist comes from three plain families: 110 Normal slots, 103 Reverse Holo slots and 30 Holo slots. Reverse holos are not limited to rares, since commons, uncommons and rares all carry one, which is why that family nearly matches the normal prints. The remainder are named variants, with Normal Hiroki Yano and Normal Jeremy Maron at 6 slots each, Normal Jimmy Ballard and Normal Takashi Yoneda at 4 each, and a small Holo Jeremy Maron group of 2. Each of these is its own binder slot, separate from the card's regular print.

Where the FireRed & LeafGreen master set's cost sits

The FireRed & LeafGreen master set cost is concentrated at the top. As of October 24, 2026, 273 of the 276 slots carry a price, and the ten most valuable slots hold 35 percent of the total, while the lower-value half of priced slots together account for just 5 percent. By finish, holos hold 42 percent of the value and reverse holos 41 percent, leaving normal prints 17 percent. Condition matters too: a master set built to the MP and up standard totals 39 percent below the Near Mint total, so condition standards move the cost far more than the long tail of cards does.

Hardest FireRed & LeafGreen master set slots

The five hardest slots in the FireRed & LeafGreen master set hold 25 percent of its total value, and all are Rare cards. The holo Gengar ex ranks first, followed by the holo Blastoise ex, then the holo Charizard ex and the holo Venusaur ex. The surprise is the second slot: the Blastoise ex holo is a variant slot rather than the card's main print, so it sits among the set's top-value slots as a variant. The normal Blastoise ex rounds out the five at fifth.
