McDonald's Collection 2021 is a 25-card promotional run from the McDonald's Collection series, filed under the Sword & Shield era in the English-language Pokémon TCG with the set code MCD21. It released on February 9, 2021, and its card list is built around a roster of starter and mascot Pokémon rather than a traditional rarity ladder. Pikachu, Squirtle, Bulbasaur, Piplup and Charmander head the most valuable cards, and the set leans on Fire, Grass, Water and Lightning types, which fits a collection aimed at the familiar faces of the franchise.
McDonald's Collection 2021 has no secret cards above its printed 25, so the chase is simply the most valuable cards in a short promotional run. Pikachu, illustrated by Sanosuke Sakuma, ranks first by value, followed by Squirtle from tetsuya koizumi, Bulbasaur from Mizue and Piplup from Shibuzoh. Charmander, drawn by Kagemaru Himeno, sits fifth. Value is fairly spread for a set this small, with the top five cards holding 47 percent of the total card value, so the rest of the card list still carries real weight in the overall picture.

Completing McDonald's Collection 2021 means finding all 25 catalog printings, and every one of them is priced, so the cost of a full run is easy to read from the card grid. Because the top five cards hold 47 percent of the set's total card value, a handful of Pokémon account for nearly half the cost, while the remaining cards fill out the run more modestly. The sealed line is small, consisting of a single booster pack product from the collection.
