Hey David! You won the giveaway! Drop me a reply here so I know you saw this message, then email me at the email in the description with your address etc and I'll get your ETB mailed out to you! Thanks!
My fiancé and I have just started our journey in collecting Pokémon cards. We were massive fans back in the 90s and early 2000s but eventually we graduated onto other things. Now we are returning, we didn’t realise how big the community is and how much pokemon has developed! Dragonite will always be my favourite.
Oh man this takes me back. I had collected about 80 of the original 151 in around 1999-2000 and was one of those unfortunate cases where my parent tossed my folder full of cards away without me knowing haha. Good to see that people are still chasing those master sets. Awesome!
Wow that is amazing. It’s cool you even got the promos and the different holo energy cards. I didn’t even know there was a different print of the energies. I just got back into Pokémon after many years. You’re right, the nostalgia is real. I got rid of my old cards when I was in addiction. But I’m a few years sober now. It brings me so much joy collecting cards again especially with this set, where it all started. I’m still working on my set. Slow and steady. It was really cool seeing all the cards together here. Thanks for showing. Im sure you’re proud. Congrats on completing the set and congrats to over 500 subs! 🥳 also thanks for giving away a poke center etb! Lol that’s so awesome! Well I guess that’s the end of my long comment. 😅
I thought there is also the Alakazam and Zapdos promo cards from the respective promo boxes? I saw you had the Abra, Kadabra and Electabuzz, but not the EX promos. Or am I missing something?
I keep all black star promos in my black star promo binder. Since I collect all sets, not just 151, I don’t keep the promos with the set. Promos are their own separate set! If I have extras I’ll throw them in the binder, like here.
Squirtle was the OG starter for me, but honestly I've been drinking a lot of the Bulbasaur koolaid as of late! So glad they did my smol plant boy justice, and unsurprisingly I liked the Venusaur SIR art the most! Really enjoyed this set and plan to keep as much sealed product as I reasonably can so I can share them with family and close friends down the line. Thank you for sharing your master set, and huge congrats on 500+ subs friend :-)
I've always been a grass starter guy so even from the time I was a kid playing red and blue Bulbasaur was my favorite. Super satisfied with how that trio was treated this set!
Very nice! I've completed one myself. I agree with you that the energies count. Heck, they were actually numbered as part of the first few sets back in the day. I did not know there were two versions of the Reverse Holo Energies. Thank you! I need to go through my extra cards now. I would say, you're missing 6 promos. The three starters from the Poster Collection, the Zapdos and Alakazam from their respective box product; and one could argue the Snorlax from Pokemon Center (the only one I myself am missing). They may be the same art as the reg. cards in the set, but they do have a "Promo" mark on them and are numbered differently. Oh, and you should have a regular version of each energy too ... IMHO. I guess I'm just one of those 'ultra' completionists. ^_^b
I have all of the promos but keep those in my black star promo binder for scarlet and violet era sets-I consider the black star promos their own set, not part of the respective mainline set they were released under. For example, promos come as part of their own product in between releases and can’t really count towards any master set then… still I do have all of the cards you mention, including the Pokémon center snorlax. I just keep them in a promo master set binder instead!
Well made video of this master set! Originally my chase was the Charizard SIR but fell in love with the art on the Venasaur SIR and Zapdos SIR! The small forest details around the Venasaur and the Zapdos with the Moltres and Articuno the background made them my favorite pulls!
Those aren’t available in English-so definitely not required for the English master set or grand master or whatever you want to call it. But for a Japanese master set, absolutely required for a master set since they can be pulled from packs!
Out of the original 151, farfetch’d is probably my favorite, I was hoping he’d get an illustrator rare card for this set, but the ones we got were fantastically around. The card I was most excited to pull was probably the charizard SIR, despite being such an over saturated mon, I was very surprised when I pulled it considering the bad luck I was having with 151 and also relieved that I didn’t have to go and spend $100+ on it later down the road for my master set. With how beautiful this set is and videos like yours, it made me want to collect my first master set and I’m proud to say that I’m close to completing it!
This set is the only one in recent times where i feel like i would enjoy making the master set. the illustrations are so good and nostalgic for 90s babies like myself. Congratz on finishing your master set!
Just started working on master sets about 3 months ago after getting back into the hobby after a 20 year hiatus. I love your content and am thankful to have found it! Looking forward to Paradox Rift!
Gotta say Arcanine just hits different for me, I collected 1st/2nd/3rd gen as a kid and sadly sold it all when I was much younger. When XY Evolutions came out I picked up quite a bit of English and Japanese of that...best nostalgia trip ever. Kept a booster box of both languages for me to open with my kid one day. When I saw they were dropping 151 I picked up a fresh Vaultx binder and started cracking packs, still have some secret rares I need to pull to complete the set. Thanks for going over the Master Set here awesome to see.
Yeah you definitely sealed the deal for me to get the white edition vault X binder! The all white compliments the cards very well! Thanks for the vid man! Congrats on the master set!
I added the Alakazam and Zapdos promos because they are slightly different. Also added the Snorlax from the Pokémon center ETB because it has that special stamp on it
It’s an amazing set. I haven’t had Pokémon cards since the Brushfire and Zap! sets over 20 years ago. So far I’ve opened the poster, binder and ETB sets. 16 packs in and my best pull was 196 & 203 Erika’s invitation back to back in the same pack. My favourite card so far is Illustrated Psyduck as my first pull above rare (took until my 7th pack). I have the UPC, all 10 mini tins and Alakazam and Zapdos on order and then I’ll start on the singles. Charmander was my favourite starter but my chase card this collection is Ivysaur, that secret illustration rare is beautiful!
I’ve got 87 cards to go until I complete my master set, getting there slowly but surely! Nice to see someone else collect a full set rather than just going for “hits”.
I typically only use regular ultra pro or vault x penny sleeves! Sometimes, like with the metal card, I’ll use something more like a dragon shield since they’re sturdier. With that energy I actually didn’t realize it was in a perfect fit haha.
I keep black star promos in a separate promo binder since they all make their own set together over the scarlet and violet era. If you look at the bottom corner you’ll notice they say SVP with different numbers instead of MEW like the 151 set. Like I say in the video, I keep extra copies of the snorlax, mewtwo and mew in there just because those cards were cut from the Japanese set to become promos for us, so it makes sense to me to keep extras with the other 151 cards!
Do you consider the snorlax from the regular etb different from the Pokémon center snorlax promo? I think one has the Pokémon center stamp and the other doesn’t
I have both, but I keep all promos in a separate Scarlet and Violet promo binder. Since it’s the more expensive one and I only have one (the duplicate I ordered was for this giveaway) I’ll keep the Pokémon center version in the promo binder instead of the 151 binder.
I store them standing up, so no pressure on the cards by storing the binder flat. They should hold up basically forever! The penny sleeves perfectly fit in the slots so there isn’t much movement. I’ve never graded before. I certainly have tons of extras that I could send for a grading run. I may do that in this few month break between major set releases…
I keep all black star promos in their own black star promo binder for all scarlet and violet era sets since they actually form their own set. But if I get extras I usually keep them in the set binder too.
@8:20 you said they can be pulled from a pack... Which pack? The 151 packs or a certain s&v set?? I have 3 of the cosmofoil energies. Edit: I have 5 lol
It was random during initial release I believe. So some packs had the “hd” energies instead of the regular cosmos ones. I think at this stage they need to be purchased as singles because new product doesn’t have the error!
I usually keep all my black star promos in their own binder. For some of these I had extras so I put them in the binder. I should’ve done all or nothing, it’s definitely confusing how I did it haha
you should have the poster set bulba/squirtle/charmander in your binder then too if you want a complete full master set if you already collected both types of holo pattern energies. The poster set has different holo pattern than the gamestop/bestbuy/pokemon center which are using reverse foil. they could easily fit right under them and look good
They aren’t the same card art as the set cards. They’re black star promos, not 151 set cards. As I say in the video, a master set is usually one of every card that can be pulled from packs. That said I do have them and do have extra copies of em so I can always throw them in the binder. I still don’t think they’re 151 set cards though just because they came with a 151 package. For example the Paldea tins-they come with Meowscarada, Quaquaval, and Skeledirge promos. The tins come with scarlet and violet, paldea, obsidian flames packs. Are those promos part of the master set of any of those? All of those sets? No, they’re just promo cards and part of the promo card master set for Scarlet and Violet era cards, imo. But I take your point that it doesn’t hurt to include them if you have the extras!
@@Pokelou502 good point, black stars are their own set, i often forget that. but then you include the snorlax and mew/mewtwo 😅i know you mention its because they are part of the japanese set but for english they're black star 🤔 master sets are always different from person to person though, so and at the end of the day its your binder so however makes you happy is the correct way! awesome collection 👍
I know this may be a dumb question butwhen collecting a master set, the card next to the reverse holo that you have two of the same card, is that a normal holo or a non holo 151 is the first pokemon set I've collected anything from since 1999 and I want to do it right, thanks again
Yep, just the regular next to the non holo! Essentially just laying out everything that can be pulled from packs in set number order, then extra stuff in the back!
I keep all black star promos in a separate black star promo binder. If I end up with extras I’ll throw them in with their respective set, but really the black star promos are their own set.
Love the master set! The Squirtle, Wartortle, and Blastoise alternate art are my favourite artwork from this set. Any reason the other SV 151 promo cards like the 3 starters, Alakazam and Zapdos ex were not included?
Hey man, nice master set. I think you have everything but the snorlax Pokemon center promo and the 3 starter promos from the poster collection box. I’m almost done with it but having trouble with the different holo pattern energies. Do you have extra you wanna get rid of?
I actually have all those, I just keep my black star promos in a separate binder typically unless I have extras, which I’ll put in the set binder. Shoot me an email and I’ll check what extras I have! I think I still have a few left!
Are you missing the Pokemon Center Stamped Snorlax? This came exclusively in the 151 Pokemon Center ETB, alongside the unstamped version of SIR Snorlax from the regular ETB. Im finishing my masterset and am just missing that card as well
I got two Pokémon center ETBs, one for me and one for this video! I keep the black star promos in their own binder so I do have it, just not in the 151 specific binder, it goes with the rest of the black star promos for scarlet and violet era!
You forgot Pokémon Center snorlax promo card? You have the Pokémon Center etb in this video but didn’t included? You also didn’t include poster collection set of the starters?
Enjoyed watching the video~ I got the same binder for my master set! love the white color for 151🤍My favorite pokemon is omanyte. Was excited when I finally pulled him out of a booster bundle I got from Target. I call him gary the snail 😆Thanks for the chance for the giveaway! Also, was curious what sleeves do you use?
I just use regular penny sleeves! I don’t double sleeve. The energy was accidentally double sleeved, I didn’t realize it was! But for those it would be perfect fit, and a penny sleeve.
Bulbasaur has always been my favorite little mon since I got into Pokemon as a kid, this set got me back into collecting the cards again and motivated me to complete my first master set! I'm very close just missing quite a bit of the SIR's! Really appreciate your channel since it has been a big motivator to complete this set! Keep up the great content on catching them all!
Yeah. I keep all black star promos in a separate scarlet and violet era promo binder! I had extras so kept the snorlax, mewtwo, and mew in the 151 binder here because they were cut from the Japanese set but typically I keep all promos in their own promo binder.
I just use normal ultra pro penny sleeves, or vault x sleeves. Both are consistently sized and clear so I trust both! Usually though ultra pro. They’re cheap and you can usually even find the 500 or 1000 packs at Walmart.
I personally don’t, as I am not only collecting 151. I collect all sets. So all black star promos for me go in my promo binder! But I do have those cards and if you’d prefer keeping them in your 151 binder no problem there!
Definitely doesn’t bend them, there can be a slight bulge when full but when lying flat or standing up it doesn’t affect the cards. But no, I don’t believe bends affect grades. I think psa ignores bends because their cases flatten the cards and the holo process causes it sometimes.
Mate this is awesome, i love that you have everything, im currently watching all the videos and in awe 😅 i cant wait to begin collecting this set, every time I have a chance to buy its out of stock lol but amazing to watch and see, congrats and good luck for paradox rift.
Great job with your Master set! I'm putting the finishing touches on my set now. My favorite of the original 151 was probably Snorlax! Glad he got his own promo!
this set looks incredible honestly my favs arent even the full art starters i think the psyduck and dragonair look so nice also the poliwhirl, how much did you spend getting the full set lol if you dont mind answering
I love it , the only diference I did was adding a van goth pikachu release almost at the same time to promos at the end ,lucky to grab one early with a mug from ebay now is crazy xD
My fav pokemon i got excited to pul was SIR zapdos , the way it introduce Zapdos soaring in the sky really makes them look majestics as legendary pokemon
Congrats fam! so nice to see a complete set! my fav pokemon is Gyarados, i wish if they did a full art for it, but my fav card in this set is the blastoise ex
Hi I’m fairly new with pack openings and keeping my cards safe I have them in a box right now and I would love to know where you get your stuff to keep the all safe! Thanks
I get the 1000 pack of ultra pro penny sleeves from Amazon, and for storage I either use standard white cardboard boxes for bulk or binders and etb cases etc for higher value. I don’t do top loaders much because they frustrate me lol.
Great collection! My favorite card from the sets got to be Blastoise EX. I’ve got the same ordeal when it comes to collecting full sets. I do that with variant covers of certain comics that I read. You’ve got to collect every single part otherwise you’re not doing it justice 😂
Love seeing the master set for this collection the nostalgia is unreal. I bought a ETB box and some boosters but had to stop to put focus on Lorcana for now. Gotta love the satisfaction from opening these hits or not.
Congrats on the master set its beautiful! This set brought me back like many others since collecting them as a kid. Red Version was my first game so I always started with Charmander but would always have Nidoking right beside him. If you don't mind me asking how many packs do you think it took to finish your set? Or did you end up buying many singles?
Very cool I am trying to do the same. Have you ever consider having the holo energy cards side by side (both variations?) I am thinking of doing that so you can easily see the difference. Also means you get 1 page full of energy!
I can remember in the good old days watching my 2 older sisters collect the base set and me being too young to care! Now times have changed and its my turn to collect this set! A lot can agree that Gengar is the best ;) Shame that where I live in a 20 mile radius everything is sold out!!!! Nice video, What binder do you use?
Even though Tangela isn't my favorite, he's an iconic looking pokemon. I remember seeing it as a kid and thinking it was weird and cool. It was sort of my favorite first pokemon. I actually fell in love with him all over again recently because of a fanart someone made. Also the fact that he's sonic colors and has the cute red shoes gets me. The art for his card in this set is really neat and crisp and cute and I was happy to get one!
Congrats! I also want to complete the set, but I think I will go for a complete set rather than a master set! btw do you have a TCGplayer account or something along those lines where I could maybe get those duplicate hits?
Do you sleeve all of your cards before moving into the binder? Including commons? About to move my entire set from the pokemon 151 binder (which feels like of cheap) into the vaultx binder.
Typically I use use regular penny sleeves, since they keep everything solid in place. But I will occasionally use the thicker sleeves like dragon shield etc.
It’s in my promo binder for scarlet and violet promos. I usually don’t keep the promo cards with a set specific binder since they are promos and belong in their own promo set together. Since I had extras here I kept them in so the art that was removed from the Japanese set stayed together!
Finally someone who does Master Set binders on UA-cam, I was looking for a channel like yours for a while, so I subscribed right away. Didn't know about the two different holo Energy patterns, thanks for letting us know. I'm curious why you didn't put the Alakazam ex and Zapdos ex Promos in it? Unfortunately, I can't get the startes variants here in europe.
I keep all the black star promos in their own binder! So I have a binder started just for Scarlet and Violet era promo cards. In some cases, like with the Mewtwo, mew, and snorlax promos, I keep duplicates of them in the master set binder for a particular set. Since these were cut from the Japanese release, and because I had extras, I did so here. But I do have the zapdos, alakazam, and the three starter promos from the poster collection with my promo binder.
Nice set nice indeed …. My chase card is a blastiose sir , I’ve pulled a charizard sir which is pretty cool . I knew there’s was a differents in the energy cards as I was pulling them but wasn’t sure . Thanks for confirming.
Super cool video! I just found my old 1999 pokemon cards recently. It was so nostalgic and brought back so many memories from playing, collecting, and watching the show. I just started collecting again and chose obsidian flames to start with. Should have started with 151. I haven't opened any 151 packs yet, but I plan on it. It's a beautiful set! Mewtwo was my old favorite. Never pulled a charizard, but maybe I'll get lucky this time! You got a sub from me brotha 👍
This was pretty cool to stumble upon, nice work collecting everything in the set! Haven't got around to opening this yet because I'm still working on Silver Tempest, but if I had to pick a favorite from the original 151 - it would be Porygon, for sure.
Very cool, I am working on it as well. Ty for explaining the difference energy cards I was unsure what the deal was there. My favorites were the charizard and blastoise lines, the alakazam sir was really cool as well and always a staple of my team in the games.
Congrats on completing an awesome set! Never thought master set including all common and non common cards as well. The set seems massive! Well done and thanks for sharing!
Just got back into Pokémon My favourite card is definitely the Venusaur Illustration rare. Been trying to pull it for a while but have been unsuccessful
I havent collected Pokémon Cards since probably Gen 4 and now this set has brought me back into it. I have some chase cards but if I had the financial means for it would totally also try to create a master set. I love how some less popular or unexpected Pokémon got some sick cards too.
Man i absolutely love the new Charizard but i haven’t pulled it. I did pull the full art blastoise and absolutely love it
Hey David! You won the giveaway! Drop me a reply here so I know you saw this message, then email me at the email in the description with your address etc and I'll get your ETB mailed out to you! Thanks!
@@Pokelou502 holy smokes!! I never win!! I’m stoked 😃 thanks so much!
Haven’t collected Pokémon cards for about 15 years, this set has definitely got me back into it and I’ve fallen in love again!!

@@rollercoaster478if you had the promos in with your master set you would call it a grandmaster set.
@@Thomas.V.-223 That would be cool for 151, imo, I am far off though, and cant get any more packs/boxes :(

I keep the promo cards in a binder specific for scarlet and violet era promo cards!
I'm glad I'm not the only one putting the cards in penny sleeves and then inside of the binder 😅😅😅
Well made video of this master set! Originally my chase was the Charizard SIR but fell in love with the art on the Venasaur SIR and Zapdos SIR! The small forest details around the Venasaur and the Zapdos with the Moltres and Articuno the background made them my favorite pulls!
Would you count the pokeball and master ball reverse holos as required for the master? Or would that come under grand master?
Those aren’t available in English-so definitely not required for the English master set or grand master or whatever you want to call it. But for a Japanese master set, absolutely required for a master set since they can be pulled from packs!
@ do you think they’ll be available in the English for prismatic evo?
Love the white background makes the colors of the cards pop 🤩🤩🤩
Oooh seeing the cards with 12 on each page is so satisfying and clean!! I know it's a weird choice but my favorite Pokemon is Ivysaur hahah
Honestly Ivysaur is a great pick. Probably my third favourite. I love the whole Bulba line, but Ivysaur just meets that perfect balance.
I like that you let ppl know the master set doesn't necessarily need the extras at the end
Hope i can complete this set! Can you tell me what are the best options to complete this? What should I open? Etb, upc, booster bundles? Tytyty
Whatever you can find at msrp at this point! Singles too!
Out of the original 151, farfetch’d is probably my favorite, I was hoping he’d get an illustrator rare card for this set, but the ones we got were fantastically around.

Just subscribed, its nice to watch someone showing the cards without yelling at the camera.
Gotta say Arcanine just hits different for me, I collected 1st/2nd/3rd gen as a kid and sadly sold it all when I was much younger. When XY Evolutions came out I picked up quite a bit of English and Japanese of that...best nostalgia trip ever. Kept a booster box of both languages for me to open with my kid one day. When I saw they were dropping 151 I picked up a fresh Vaultx binder and started cracking packs, still have some secret rares I need to pull to complete the set. Thanks for going over the Master Set here awesome to see.
With the two types of energy I’m having trouble finding the HD ones for my master set is their any place you would recommend looking
Facebook or eBay would likely be your best bets at this point!!
Yeah you definitely sealed the deal for me to get the white edition vault X binder! The all white compliments the cards very well! Thanks for the vid man! Congrats on the master set!
I added the Alakazam and Zapdos promos because they are slightly different. Also added the Snorlax from the Pokémon center ETB because it has that special stamp on it
It’s an amazing set. I haven’t had Pokémon cards since the Brushfire and Zap! sets over 20 years ago.

Charmander was my favourite starter but my chase card this collection is Ivysaur, that secret illustration rare is beautiful!
Isn’t the Zapdos promo from his 151 box and the binder promos missing?
I have a separate binder for all black star promos!
The white Vault X binder looks super good with this set
That's a nice master set 🔥 I'm still missing a whole lot of cards😂
I’ve got 87 cards to go until I complete my master set, getting there slowly but surely! Nice to see someone else collect a full set rather than just going for “hits”.
Saw you have two sleeves. What sleeves do you use and do you do it for all cards. TIA
I typically only use regular ultra pro or vault x penny sleeves! Sometimes, like with the metal card, I’ll use something more like a dragon shield since they’re sturdier. With that energy I actually didn’t realize it was in a perfect fit haha.
Sick set my dude, nothing more satisfying that sifting through a master set binder 👌
wheres the holo squirtle, bulba and charmander from the poster pack? did I miss it?
I keep black star promos in a separate promo binder since they all make their own set together over the scarlet and violet era. If you look at the bottom corner you’ll notice they say SVP with different numbers instead of MEW like the 151 set. Like I say in the video, I keep extra copies of the snorlax, mewtwo and mew in there just because those cards were cut from the Japanese set to become promos for us, so it makes sense to me to keep extras with the other 151 cards!
what about the other promos from the poster and ex boxes or did i miss them?
I keep all black star promos in their own scarlet and violet era promo binder! I do have them, just not with the set proper.
Do you consider the snorlax from the regular etb different from the Pokémon center snorlax promo? I think one has the Pokémon center stamp and the other doesn’t
I have both, but I keep all promos in a separate Scarlet and Violet promo binder. Since it’s the more expensive one and I only have one (the duplicate I ordered was for this giveaway) I’ll keep the Pokémon center version in the promo binder instead of the 151 binder.
Does your squirtle have a huge printing line down the middle like almost all?
I'll check. Which one? Reverse holo regular, pokemon center promo, Squirtle IR?
Will you be grading any of these? And how well will the vault x binder with penny sleeves keep the card conditions?
I store them standing up, so no pressure on the cards by storing the binder flat. They should hold up basically forever! The penny sleeves perfectly fit in the slots so there isn’t much movement.
I’ve never graded before. I certainly have tons of extras that I could send for a grading run. I may do that in this few month break between major set releases…
Do you have the Game Stop Charmander, the Best Buy Bulbasaur, and Pokémon Center Squirtle?
Yep! They’re there in the back of the binder near the end!
Why do you not have the Zapdos in the back wit the Electabuzz? Or the Alakazam with the Abra and Kadabra?
I keep all black star promos in their own black star promo binder for all scarlet and violet era sets since they actually form their own set. But if I get extras I usually keep them in the set binder too.
After the gold purple enegry thats the master set grand master set would have all promos and other cards apart of the set
@8:20 you said they can be pulled from a pack... Which pack? The 151 packs or a certain s&v set?? I have 3 of the cosmofoil energies.
Edit: I have 5 lol
It was random during initial release I believe. So some packs had the “hd” energies instead of the regular cosmos ones. I think at this stage they need to be purchased as singles because new product doesn’t have the error!
Is there a reason you didn’t put the alakazam promo and electabuzz from the boxes ? I noticed you have the Abra etc…
I usually keep all my black star promos in their own binder. For some of these I had extras so I put them in the binder. I should’ve done all or nothing, it’s definitely confusing how I did it haha
you should have the poster set bulba/squirtle/charmander in your binder then too if you want a complete full master set if you already collected both types of holo pattern energies. The poster set has different holo pattern than the gamestop/bestbuy/pokemon center which are using reverse foil. they could easily fit right under them and look good
They aren’t the same card art as the set cards. They’re black star promos, not 151 set cards. As I say in the video, a master set is usually one of every card that can be pulled from packs. That said I do have them and do have extra copies of em so I can always throw them in the binder. I still don’t think they’re 151 set cards though just because they came with a 151 package. For example the Paldea tins-they come with Meowscarada, Quaquaval, and Skeledirge promos. The tins come with scarlet and violet, paldea, obsidian flames packs. Are those promos part of the master set of any of those? All of those sets? No, they’re just promo cards and part of the promo card master set for Scarlet and Violet era cards, imo. But I take your point that it doesn’t hurt to include them if you have the extras!
@@Pokelou502 good point, black stars are their own set, i often forget that. but then you include the snorlax and mew/mewtwo 😅i know you mention its because they are part of the japanese set but for english they're black star 🤔 master sets are always different from person to person though, so and at the end of the day its your binder so however makes you happy is the correct way!
awesome collection 👍
Good job with that binder. I've not put sets togeether yet.
I know this may be a dumb question butwhen collecting a master set, the card next to the reverse holo that you have two of the same card, is that a normal holo or a non holo 151 is the first pokemon set I've collected anything from since 1999 and I want to do it right, thanks again
Yep, just the regular next to the non holo! Essentially just laying out everything that can be pulled from packs in set number order, then extra stuff in the back!
This is so cool, that looks like it took a lot of time lol the illustration arts in this set are sick!
I wondered where can I find a binder with the white background it makes the cards pop out more??
It’s a vault x white edition binder! Check their website!
@@Pokelou502 thank you !
Where's the pokemon center snorlax in your binder?
I keep all black star promos in a separate black star promo binder. If I end up with extras I’ll throw them in with their respective set, but really the black star promos are their own set.
Love the master set! The Squirtle, Wartortle, and Blastoise alternate art are my favourite artwork from this set.
Any reason the other SV 151 promo cards like the 3 starters, Alakazam and Zapdos ex were not included?
I keep my promos in their own promo binder for all scarlet and violet promos! I do have em all though
Hey man, nice master set. I think you have everything but the snorlax Pokemon center promo and the 3 starter promos from the poster collection box. I’m almost done with it but having trouble with the different holo pattern energies. Do you have extra you wanna get rid of?
I actually have all those, I just keep my black star promos in a separate binder typically unless I have extras, which I’ll put in the set binder. Shoot me an email and I’ll check what extras I have! I think I still have a few left!
Are you missing the Pokemon Center Stamped Snorlax? This came exclusively in the 151 Pokemon Center ETB, alongside the unstamped version of SIR Snorlax from the regular ETB. Im finishing my masterset and am just missing that card as well
I got two Pokémon center ETBs, one for me and one for this video! I keep the black star promos in their own binder so I do have it, just not in the 151 specific binder, it goes with the rest of the black star promos for scarlet and violet era!
You forgot Pokémon Center snorlax promo card? You have the Pokémon Center etb in this video but didn’t included? You also didn’t include poster collection set of the starters?
I keep all black star promos in a separate scarlet and violet era promo binder, so they’re in there!
Are you going to add the starter promos from the Poster Collection Box?
I keep all promos in my Scarlet and Violet promo binder!
Enjoyed watching the video~ I got the same binder for my master set! love the white color for 151🤍My favorite pokemon is omanyte. Was excited when I finally pulled him out of a booster bundle I got from Target. I call him gary the snail 😆Thanks for the chance for the giveaway! Also, was curious what sleeves do you use?
What a fantastic master set to complete and have! 🔥
What sleeves do you use to double sleeving
I just use regular penny sleeves! I don’t double sleeve. The energy was accidentally double sleeved, I didn’t realize it was! But for those it would be perfect fit, and a penny sleeve.
Bulbasaur has always been my favorite little mon since I got into Pokemon as a kid, this set got me back into collecting the cards again and motivated me to complete my first master set! I'm very close just missing quite a bit of the SIR's! Really appreciate your channel since it has been a big motivator to complete this set! Keep up the great content on catching them all!
Congratulations and thank you for such a calm and educational way of showing your master set!! I'd have to go with new as fave!!
Alakazam promo is different than then one you pull in packs. I think the Zapados promo is different too?
Yeah. I keep all black star promos in a separate scarlet and violet era promo binder! I had extras so kept the snorlax, mewtwo, and mew in the 151 binder here because they were cut from the Japanese set but typically I keep all promos in their own promo binder.
Love the video, I was wondering what sleeves do you put your cards in?
I just use normal ultra pro penny sleeves, or vault x sleeves. Both are consistently sized and clear so I trust both! Usually though ultra pro. They’re cheap and you can usually even find the 500 or 1000 packs at Walmart.
Thank you!!!
So what about the promo alakazam and zapdos ? Would you not consider those part of the masterset ?
I personally don’t, as I am not only collecting 151. I collect all sets. So all black star promos for me go in my promo binder! But I do have those cards and if you’d prefer keeping them in your 151 binder no problem there!
Awesome collection!! 😮 Where did you get the other varient energies?? I want those for my collection 😆
I pulled a few and bought the rest from my local shop or through Facebook! They were tough to track down then, probably even harder now.
Nice binder - hyow many pages there is left in the binder ?
ty
3 or 4 full pages left!
The vaultx binder looks like it bends cards, doesn't that affect psa grading?
Definitely doesn’t bend them, there can be a slight bulge when full but when lying flat or standing up it doesn’t affect the cards. But no, I don’t believe bends affect grades. I think psa ignores bends because their cases flatten the cards and the holo process causes it sometimes.
Congrats on completing the set I’m also trying to complete the set without buying singles. My favourite Pokémon from this set is alakazam
Mate this is awesome, i love that you have everything, im currently watching all the videos and in awe 😅 i cant wait to begin collecting this set, every time I have a chance to buy its out of stock lol but amazing to watch and see, congrats and good luck for paradox rift.
Great job with your Master set! I'm putting the finishing touches on my set now. My favorite of the original 151 was probably Snorlax! Glad he got his own promo!
Just curious: Do the last 3 Bulbasaur Charmander and Squirtle count as the same thing as the poster collection promos? Did I miss those in the vid?
I keep all black star promos in a separate promo binder. I do have extras of them though so I have since thrown them in with these 151 cards.
Awesome. Just subscribed/liked, great collection!
this set looks incredible honestly my favs arent even the full art starters i think the psyduck and dragonair look so nice also the poliwhirl, how much did you spend getting the full set lol if you dont mind answering
I love it , the only diference I did was adding a van goth pikachu release almost at the same time to promos at the end ,lucky to grab one early with a mug from ebay now is crazy xD
My fav pokemon i got excited to pul was SIR zapdos , the way it introduce Zapdos soaring in the sky really makes them look majestics as legendary pokemon
Congrats on completing the master set of S&V Pokemon 151; for me I need three more cards to go! Yours is consider the ULTIMATE Master set!
where did you get that binder?
It’s the white edition from vault x! I think they said they’ll have more in stock soon
Congrats fam! so nice to see a complete set! my fav pokemon is Gyarados, i wish if they did a full art for it, but my fav card in this set is the blastoise ex
Hi I’m fairly new with pack openings and keeping my cards safe I have them in a box right now and I would love to know where you get your stuff to keep the all safe! Thanks
I get the 1000 pack of ultra pro penny sleeves from Amazon, and for storage I either use standard white cardboard boxes for bulk or binders and etb cases etc for higher value. I don’t do top loaders much because they frustrate me lol.
Great collection! My favorite card from the sets got to be Blastoise EX. I’ve got the same ordeal when it comes to collecting full sets. I do that with variant covers of certain comics that I read. You’ve got to collect every single part otherwise you’re not doing it justice 😂
Love seeing the master set for this collection the nostalgia is unreal. I bought a ETB box and some boosters but had to stop to put focus on Lorcana for now. Gotta love the satisfaction from opening these hits or not.
Congrats on the master set its beautiful! This set brought me back like many others since collecting them as a kid. Red Version was my first game so I always started with Charmander but would always have Nidoking right beside him. If you don't mind me asking how many packs do you think it took to finish your set? Or did you end up buying many singles?
Definitely bought singles and traded! I opened somewhere around 200 packs, maybe a little more.
Very cool I am trying to do the same. Have you ever consider having the holo energy cards side by side (both variations?) I am thinking of doing that so you can easily see the difference. Also means you get 1 page full of energy!
It looks good that way too! I don’t like the way how I have it leaves spaces so maybe I’ll swap that.
@@Pokelou502 that was my thinking too haha. Got to fill that binder! It’s a beautiful binder/set by the way. Thanks for sharing
I can remember in the good old days watching my 2 older sisters collect the base set and me being too young to care! Now times have changed and its my turn to collect this set!
A lot can agree that Gengar is the best ;)
Shame that where I live in a 20 mile radius everything is sold out!!!!
Nice video, What binder do you use?
I used the Vault X white edition for this one! I think it looks great
You’re not wrong! The white makes it look very clean! As well as making the cards pop!
Also, after this video you made I have spent ages turning it from a normal set to a masters! Looks so much nicer!
Even though Tangela isn't my favorite, he's an iconic looking pokemon. I remember seeing it as a kid and thinking it was weird and cool. It was sort of my favorite first pokemon. I actually fell in love with him all over again recently because of a fanart someone made. Also the fact that he's sonic colors and has the cute red shoes gets me. The art for his card in this set is really neat and crisp and cute and I was happy to get one!
Congrats! Trying to do the same but probably won’t do the double energies haha. Lapras is my favorite card and wish she got an special illustration
Congrats! I also want to complete the set, but I think I will go for a complete set rather than a master set! btw do you have a TCGplayer account or something along those lines where I could maybe get those duplicate hits?
I typically trade around locally, no seller accounts or anything!
Do you sleeve all of your cards before moving into the binder? Including commons?
About to move my entire set from the pokemon 151 binder (which feels like of cheap) into the vaultx binder.
Yep! Everything sleeved!
Nice! What sleeves do you use? @@Pokelou502
Typically I use use regular penny sleeves, since they keep everything solid in place. But I will occasionally use the thicker sleeves like dragon shield etc.
They all look nice in the binder. Such a fun set. Always liked the big 3 charizard, blastoise, venusaur and mewtwo. Grew up with pokemon yellow.
Beautiful!! Why didnt you include the Snorlax Poke center stamp? and Mew!
It’s in my promo binder for scarlet and violet promos. I usually don’t keep the promo cards with a set specific binder since they are promos and belong in their own promo set together. Since I had extras here I kept them in so the art that was removed from the Japanese set stayed together!
That’s so cool. I am trying to finish the set as well. Slow and steady lol
My favorite is the pikachu IR!
Finally someone who does Master Set binders on UA-cam, I was looking for a channel like yours for a while, so I subscribed right away.
Didn't know about the two different holo Energy patterns, thanks for letting us know.
I'm curious why you didn't put the Alakazam ex and Zapdos ex Promos in it?
Unfortunately, I can't get the startes variants here in europe.
I keep all the black star promos in their own binder! So I have a binder started just for Scarlet and Violet era promo cards. In some cases, like with the Mewtwo, mew, and snorlax promos, I keep duplicates of them in the master set binder for a particular set. Since these were cut from the Japanese release, and because I had extras, I did so here. But I do have the zapdos, alakazam, and the three starter promos from the poster collection with my promo binder.
Can you only play 151 with that set? Or can u vs the new scarlet violet?
All cards in this set should be legal and competitive!
Nice set nice indeed …. My chase card is a blastiose sir , I’ve pulled a charizard sir which is pretty cool . I knew there’s was a differents in the energy cards as I was pulling them but wasn’t sure . Thanks for confirming.
i'm trying to finish my evolving skies set and then i would like to start on the 151 pack 😭👍
Super cool video! I just found my old 1999 pokemon cards recently. It was so nostalgic and brought back so many memories from playing, collecting, and watching the show. I just started collecting again and chose obsidian flames to start with. Should have started with 151. I haven't opened any 151 packs yet, but I plan on it. It's a beautiful set! Mewtwo was my old favorite. Never pulled a charizard, but maybe I'll get lucky this time! You got a sub from me brotha 👍
I think you are missing the Zapdos ex black star promo that comes with the promo packs.
I keep all my black star promos in a separate black star promo binder. If I have extras I’ll keep the extras in the set binder sometimes like here.
Got my master set too! I have the Pokémon Center Snorlax with it too. Didn’t notice the energy variants tho. Have to go back and check that out
This was pretty cool to stumble upon, nice work collecting everything in the set! Haven't got around to opening this yet because I'm still working on Silver Tempest, but if I had to pick a favorite from the original 151 - it would be Porygon, for sure.
Silver Tempest is such a great set! This one is fun for the nostalgia though and these SIRs are definitely easier to pull than Lugia lol.
Very cool, I am working on it as well. Ty for explaining the difference energy cards I was unsure what the deal was there.
My favorites were the charizard and blastoise lines, the alakazam sir was really cool as well and always a staple of my team in the games.
Congrats on completing an awesome set! Never thought master set including all common and non common cards as well. The set seems massive! Well done and thanks for sharing!
Just got back into Pokémon
My favourite card is definitely the Venusaur
Illustration rare. Been trying to pull it for a while but have been unsuccessful
One of the first etbs I got had a blastoise ex sir! And honestly, I'd love to make a whole binder of that card lol
I really want to subscribe to your channel, but you currently have 1.51k Subs!!! How perfect, I can't risk messing that up. LOLOL
I havent collected Pokémon Cards since probably Gen 4 and now this set has brought me back into it. I have some chase cards but if I had the financial means for it would totally also try to create a master set. I love how some less popular or unexpected Pokémon got some sick cards too.
