Slots and binder pages, variant families and how it compares with the XY era.
The Yellow A Alternate master set takes just 6 slots, exactly matching the 6 cards in the set, so every card is a single slot and there are no extra variants to chase. That makes the master set checklist as short as it gets: one copy of each card in the English-language Pokémon TCG release from the XY era, dated February 5, 2014. All 6 slots fit on 1 double-sided binder page at nine cards a side, with room to spare. How many cards the set holds and how many slots the master set needs are the same number, which is rare enough to be worth noting.

Beside other XY era sets, the Yellow A Alternate master set is a very small job at 6 slots. The neighbouring releases show the contrast: XY Black Star Promos, the previous set, runs to 220 slots, and McDonald's Collection 2014, the next set, takes 24 slots. A master set of 6 is far lighter than either, so completing it is a matter of finding six individual cards rather than working through a long checklist or hunting variant families.

A Yellow A Alternate master set is one copy of every card AND every variant in the set — the 6 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.
