Base Set 2 Master Set
The Base Set 2 Master Set contains 130 total cards: 20 holo rares, 20 rares, 42 uncommons, 48 commons. The Grand Master Set runs to 131 — the same 130 cards plus the documented W-stamp promo — and there is only one printing to price.
Base Set 2 · 2000The reprint set — and the one with no 1st Edition
Base Set 2 arrived on February 24, 2000 and is the odd one out: a reprint set of 130 cards drawn from Base Set, Jungle and Fossil, with the cosmos holo pattern replacing Starlight. It was never printed in 1st Edition, and it has no reverse holos either — there is exactly one configuration.

Your Base Set 2 Master Set Questions, Answered
How many cards are in Base Set 2?
Base Set 2 has 130 cards: 20 holo rares at numbers 1–20, 20 rares, 42 uncommons and 48 commons. It released on February 24, 2000.
Does Base Set 2 have a 1st Edition?
No — and this is the single most useful thing to know about the set. Base Set 2 was never printed with the Edition 1 stamp. There is only one configuration, so a listing calling a Base Set 2 card “1st Edition” is either wrong or showing you a card from a different set.
What is Base Set 2?
A reprint set, not a new group of Pokémon. Every card in it had been printed before, in Base Set, Jungle or Fossil, and each carries the “2” set symbol beside the card number — which is how you tell a Base Set 2 card from the 1999 original it is copied from.
How many binder pages do I need for a Base Set 2 Master Set?
For a 130-card Base Set 2 Master Set you’ll need:
✔ 9-pocket binder — 15 dual-sided pages
✔ 12-pocket binder — 11 dual-sided pages
How much does it cost to master Base Set 2?
Based on ungraded sold comps at PriceCharting, the master set totals $944.67 — every one of the 130 cards, with no second printing to choose between.
Prices move over time, so treat this as a current market estimate. Hitmonchan 8/130 and Charizard 4/130 cost the most.
Method. Every figure here is the ungraded market value from PriceCharting, sold-comp data, October 7, 2026 — refreshed monthly. The total is one copy of each of the 130 numbered Normal cards, summed; the PSA 10 figure is unconditioned PSA 10 market values for the same 130 cards. Comps move; verify current sold prices before transacting. Card artwork is served by pokemontcg.io and is the property of The Pokémon Company.
