Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to complete a Pokemon master set?

It depends on the set. Across 142 sets with at least 90% price coverage, the median completion cost is $3,495 in raw near-mint singles, based on Double Holo market data as of September 12, 2026. Newer, chase-heavy sets and vintage sets both run well above that median; see the tables above for exact figures.

What is the cheapest Pokemon set to complete?

Among sets with at least 90% price coverage, Pokemon Lycanroc & Alolan Raichu is the cheapest to complete as of September 12, 2026, at about $13 in raw near-mint singles on Double Holo.

What is the most expensive Pokemon set to complete?

Among sets with at least 90% price coverage, Pokemon Skyridge is the most expensive to complete as of September 12, 2026, at about $50,016 in raw near-mint singles on Double Holo.

What does completion cost include?

Completion cost is the sum of Double Holo's current raw near-mint (NM) market prices for every individually priced single in a set. It does not include sealed products (booster boxes, packs, or bundles), and it does not include every possible print variant, so a true master set with reverse holos and other variants can cost more than the total shown.

Why do some sets show less than 100% price coverage?

Coverage is the share of a set's total card count that currently has a Double Holo market price. Cards without enough sale history yet, or without a market price recorded, are not included in the coverage percentage or the completion cost total, so a low-coverage set's true completion cost is likely higher than the number shown.

Methodology

Completion cost is the sum of live Double Holo raw near-mint (NM) market prices for every priced single in a set; sealed products (boxes, packs, bundles) are excluded. Coverage is the share of a set's total card count that currently has a market price - a set below 100% coverage is missing some cards from its total, so its true completion cost is likely higher than shown. The cheapest and most expensive set claims above, and the median completion cost, only use sets with at least 90% price coverage and at least 50 total cards, since a low-coverage sum would understate a set's real cost. A true master set, one that includes reverse holos, promos, and other print variants beyond the base numbered checklist, can cost more than the totals shown here.
