Team Rocket Returns Master Set Checklist & Cost

Variants in the Team Rocket Returns master set

The Team Rocket Returns master set is built mostly from three families: 100 plain Normal slots, 95 Reverse Holo slots and 31 Holo slots. Reverse holos appear across Common, Uncommon and Rare cards, so many cards on the checklist take a second slot for that finish. The remaining slots are Normal prints sorted by a named attribution, led by Normal Takashi Yoneda with 8 slots and followed by smaller groups under Normal Jimmy Ballard, Normal Curran Hill, Normal Hiroki Yano and Normal Michael Gonzalez. Each of these counts as its own binder slot, separate from the card's standard Normal print.

Where the Team Rocket Returns master set's cost sits

A small group of holo rares sets the shape of the master set cost, while the bulk of the checklist carries very little of it.

Hardest Team Rocket Returns master set slots

Five slots hold 40 percent of the total value of the Team Rocket Returns master set. The Holo Torchic ☆ ranks first, followed by the Holo Rocket's Snorlax ex and the Holo Rocket's Mewtwo ex, all Rare. Fourth is Rocket's Suicune ex in its Normal print, a reminder that a non-holo slot can still rank near the top. Fifth is the Reverse Holo Dark Dragonite, also Rare, and it is the one variant slot among the five: a reverse holo of a Rare outranks the main prints of most other cards in the set.
