Slots and binder pages, variant families, where the cost sits, the most valuable slots and how it compares with the XY era.
The McDonald's Collection 2014 master set takes 24 slots against the 12 cards in the set, an average of 2 slots per card, because each card comes in two variants. The split is even, with 12 slots in each of the two holo families. Laid out nine to a side, the full run fits on 2 double-sided binder pages, a short job even for an XY era release from May 23, 2014, and one that leaves most of the second page empty.
Every slot in the McDonald's Collection 2014 master set belongs to one of two holo families. The Holo family covers 12 slots, one for each card in the set. The Holo Mcdonalds family adds another 12, a second copy of each of the same cards carrying the promotional branding. For a collector that means the master set checklist is a straight pairing: each of the 12 cards needs both versions to fill its place. There are no reverse holo slots, and no 1st Edition or stamped families to track.
| Variant family | Slots | Priced | Share of value |
|---|---|---|---|

Value in the McDonald's Collection 2014 master set is concentrated at the top. The ten most valuable slots hold 89 percent of the total, while the lower-value half of the priced slots adds up to only 36 percent. Only 12 of the 24 slots carry a price at all, so the master set cost reflects half the checklist. Condition matters a great deal: as of October 24, 2026, the LP and up total sits 53 percent below Near Mint, and the MP and up total sits 76 percent below it.

The McDonald's Collection 2014 master set is hard at the top end. The five most valuable slots are all plain Holo prints rather than the promotional-branded variants: Pikachu leads, followed by Honedge, Froakie, Inkay and Fennekin. Each is the card's main holo print, so none of them is a variant surprise. Together these five hold 56 percent of the master set's total value, which means the remaining slots barely move the cost of finishing.
At 24 slots, the McDonald's Collection 2014 master set is about 1.3 times the XY era median of 18 slots, so it is a little larger than a typical set of its era but still a small project. By master set value it ranks 4th of the 4 comparable sets in its era. The previous set, Yellow A Alternate, has 6 slots. The next set, McDonald's Collection 2015, has 12 slots, and its master set holds higher value than this one.

A McDonald's Collection 2014 master set is one copy of every card AND every variant in the set — the 12 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.
