A Scarlet & Violet master set is 444 cards — every card plus its 186 reverse holos.
What a Scarlet & Violet master set includes
One of everything: all 258 numbered cards — the 198 base plus 60 secret rares — then every reverse holo, 186 of them. That sweeps in the 34 Illustration and Special Illustration Rares, the full-art cards that carry most of the value. The ones you have to land:
- Gardevoir ex (#245) — Special Illustration Rare (~$89.05)
- Drowzee (#210) — Illustration Rare (~$70.93)
- Ralts (#211) — Illustration Rare (~$53.81)
- Kirlia (#212) — Illustration Rare (~$51.81)
- Slowpoke (#204) — Illustration Rare (~$46.64)
- Riolu (#215) — Illustration Rare (~$43.29)
The extras unique to Scarlet & Violet
Scarlet & Violet has no special pattern variants, so the master set is the 258-card checklist plus 186 reverse holos — no extra pattern foils to chase beyond the 60 secret rares.

- Ralts — Ralts (#211)
- Kirlia — Kirlia (#212)

The Scarlet & Violet master-set total
All in, a complete Scarlet & Violet master set is 444 cards versus 198 for the base — about 2.2× the work, or roughly 50 pages in a 9-pocket binder. Sleeve and storage budget should target the larger number if you're going all the way on Scarlet & Violet.
