Surging Sparks Master Set Checklist & Cost

Variants in the Surging Sparks master set

The bulk of the Surging Sparks master set is three plain families: reverse holo, normal and holo. The reverse holo slots come from the Common, Uncommon and Rare cards, which is why they run so high. Beyond those sit the stamped and special families, and they are where a master set checklist gets fiddly. There are Player Rewards Program stamped versions in both holo and normal, a Foil Cosmos holo family, and set logo holos including a jumbo set logo group. Each of these is its own binder slot, even when the card underneath is a common already sitting in the collection.

Where the Surging Sparks master set's cost sits

The Surging Sparks master set cost is lopsided: its ten most valuable slots hold 59 percent of the total value, while the lower-value half of the priced slots adds up to only 3 percent. By finish, holos carry 94 percent of the value, reverse holos 4 percent and normal prints 3 percent. Pricing covers 444 of the 449 slots. As of October 24, 2026, the Medium Played and up total sits 8 percent below the Near Mint total, a modest gap, since so much value is concentrated in a handful of high-rarity cards.

Hardest Surging Sparks master set slots

The five hardest slots in the Surging Sparks master set are all main holo prints: Pikachu ex as a special illustration rare, then Latias ex and Milotic ex in the same tier. Fourth is the hyper rare Pikachu ex, and fifth is the special illustration rare Durant ex. Together they hold 48 percent of the master set's total value. None of the five is a secondary variant, so the difficulty here sits in the chase cards themselves rather than in an overlooked reverse holo or stamped print.
