POP Series 1 Master Set Checklist & Cost

Variants in the POP Series 1 master set

The extra slots in the POP Series 1 master set come from one added family: 17 normal prints, plus a holo family of 7. There is no reverse holo layer and no stamped or edition family, so the open question for each of the 17 cards is whether a holo print exists alongside the normal one. A holo here is the same card on a foil-patterned face, and for master set purposes it is its own binder slot, separate from the normal print of that card.

Where the POP Series 1 master set's cost sits

All 24 slots in the POP Series 1 master set carry a price as of October 24, 2026, and the value is heavily top-weighted. The ten most valuable slots hold 90 percent of the master set cost, while the lower-value half of the priced slots holds only 7 percent. By finish, holos make up 54 percent of the total and normal prints 46 percent, which is notable given there are far fewer holo slots. Condition matters too: an LP and up master set sits 69 percent below the Near Mint total, and an MP and up set sits 76 percent below it.

Hardest POP Series 1 master set slots

Five slots hold 76 percent of the master set's total value, and they decide whether the POP Series 1 master set gets finished. The top slot is the normal print of Rayquaza, a Rare. Next come the holo of Tyranitar ex and the holo of Rayquaza, both Rares and both variants rather than a card's main print. The normal Tyranitar ex follows in fourth, and the holo Blaziken, another Rare variant, rounds out the five. The surprise is that three of the five hardest slots are holo variants of cards whose normal prints are already in the binder.

How the POP Series 1 master set compares

At 24 slots, the POP Series 1 master set is about equal to the EX era median of 24 slots, so the size is typical even though the card count is small. By master set value it ranks 5th of the 10 comparable sets in its era. The previous set, Poké Card Creator Pack, is a much lighter job at 5 slots. The next set, POP Series 2, matches it at 24 slots, and its master set holds lower value than this one.
