Slots and binder pages, variant families, where the cost sits, the most valuable slots and how it compares with the Sun & Moon era.
The McDonald's Collection 2018 master set is as small as a master set gets: 12 slots for 12 cards, so each card adds one slot on average and there are no reverse holo or stamped extras to chase. It is a Sun & Moon era promotional set from the English-language Pokémon TCG, released October 19, 2018, and the whole master set checklist fits on 1 double-sided binder page at nine cards a side. Completion here is about finding twelve specific cards, not about sorting through finishes.
| Variant family | Slots | Priced | Share of value |

The cost of the McDonald's Collection 2018 master set is heavily concentrated. All 12 slots carry a price, and the ten most valuable hold 94 percent of the total, which leaves just 22 percent in the lower-value half of the slots. Condition matters a great deal: the LP and up total sits 50 percent below Near Mint, and the MP and up total sits 73 percent below it, so the master set cost swings sharply with the grade of the copies accepted. Figures are as of October 24, 2026.

Five holo cards decide how hard the McDonald's Collection 2018 master set is to finish: Psyduck, Pikachu, Eevee, Slowpoke and Cubone, ranked first through fifth by value. All five are the card's main holo print rather than a hidden variant, so there are no surprise slots here, only a short list of well-known names. Together they hold 72 percent of the master set's total value, which means the other slots finish the binder quickly and these five set the pace.
At 12 slots, the McDonald's Collection 2018 master set is about equal to the Sun & Moon era median of 12, so it is a standard-sized job for its era. By master set value it ranks 2nd among the 4 comparable sets of the era. Its neighbours are the same size: McDonald's Collection 2017 and McDonald's Collection 2019 each have 12 slots, and both of their master sets hold lower value than this one.

A McDonald's Collection 2018 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.
