What is the Base Set Master Set?
A master set is every single card in Base Set - including every variant. That means if a card was printed in both a 1st Edition and an Unlimited run, it gets two separate slots in your binder. The Base Set master set has 102 unique cards across 294 total variant rows.
Our printable placeholders let you map out every slot before you own a single card. Print them, slot them into your binder pages, and swap each one out as you acquire the real thing.
Variants in Base Set
Base Set was printed in three distinct runs: 1st Edition (with the small "Edition 1" symbol), Shadowless (no shadow on the right side of the artwork), and Unlimited (the most common printing). A true master set has all three variants of every card - that's why this set's 102 cards generate 216 variant rows.
Every variant row included

How to Print
Print at 100% scale on A4 paper (210x297mm). Disable "fit to page" in your printer settings or the cards will shrink slightly. For the best feel, use 200-250gsm matte card stock. Cut along the dashed guide borders using a guillotine or steel ruler.
Want professional results? Send the PDF to a local print shop - ask for A4, full colour, on 250gsm silk card, no scaling.
