Completing Sets and Master Sets

To complete a Pokémon set, you must collect every card from that set. Some collectors take it a step further by completing a Master Set, which includes every variation of every card (such as holo, reverse holo, and promo variants). Additionally, many sets include Secret Rares (unofficially numbered cards that go beyond the set’s standard count). For example, if a set has 102 cards, a Secret Rare might be numbered as 103/102.

By creating an account and collecting cards through Phygitals, you can also track your portfolio value, monitor your progress in real-time, and even compare your set progression with collectors from around the world.
