Every collection we can price

Method. Costs are ungraded market values from PriceCharting, summed over one copy of every card in the collection at the stated printing. Complete Set is every numbered card of the set at that printing; Grandmaster Set adds 1st Edition and Unlimited together; Grandmaster+ adds every other documented variant; Full Variant Run is every printing our data holds, including error and promotional printings. Species collections are every vintage card of that Pokémon. PSA figures are unconditioned PSA 10 market values. Boundaries are named explicitly rather than rolled into one disputed “master set” definition — the community uses several, so every rung is its own labelled collection. Vintage (1999–2003, Wizards of the Coast) only for now.
