Expedition Base Set Master Set

The Expedition Base Set Master Set contains 165 total cards: 32 holo rares, 40 rares, 38 uncommons, 55 commons. The Grand Master Set runs to 331 once the 159 Reverse Holo printings and the seven numbered test printings are counted — and every card below is priced in its Normal printing.

Expedition Base Set · 2002The first e-Card set

Expedition Base Set arrived on September 15, 2002 — the first set of the e-Card era, with the e-Reader strip along the bottom of every card and the new artwork-and-border design. A hundred and sixty-five cards, 32 of them holo rare. There is no 1st Edition: the cards come Normal or Reverse Holo.

What binder does 165 cards need?

Since the Expedition Base Set Master Set has a total of 165 cards you’ll need:

9-pocket binder — 19 dual-sided pages
12-pocket binder — 14 dual-sided pages

Always leave extra room — graded slabs, the 159 Reverse Holo printings and the test printings all need somewhere to go.

We use the Vault X Exo-Tec 9-pocket zip binder.

Your Expedition Base Set Master Set Questions, Answered

How many cards are in the Expedition Base Set Master Set?

A full Expedition Base Set Master Set contains:

32 holo rares
40 rares
38 uncommons
55 commons

Total: 165 cards — 331 once you count the Reverse Holo printings and the numbered test printings

Does Expedition Base Set have a 1st Edition?

No. The Edition 1 stamp ended with Neo Destiny in February 2002. Expedition is four months later, so every card comes Normal or Reverse Holo, and a listing calling one “1st Edition” is describing a printing that does not exist.

How many binder pages do I need for an Expedition Base Set Master Set?

For a 165-card Expedition Base Set Master Set you’ll need:

✔ 9-pocket binder — 19 dual-sided pages
✔ 12-pocket binder — 14 dual-sided pages

If you are aiming for the 331-printing Grand Master Set:

✔ 9-pocket binder — 37 dual-sided pages
✔ 12-pocket binder — 28 dual-sided pages

What is the e-Reader strip?

Every Expedition card carries a dot-code strip along the bottom edge, read by Nintendo’s e-Reader accessory. It is the defining feature of the e-Card era and the easiest way to tell an Expedition card from the 1999 Base Set card it is sometimes mistaken for.

How much does it cost to master Expedition Base Set?

Based on ungraded sold comps at PriceCharting, the Normal master set totals $7,673.53 — that is every one of the 165 cards in its Normal printing.

Prices move over time, so treat this as a current market estimate rather than a fixed checklist value. Mew #19 and Charizard #6 carry the set, and their Reverse Holo printings cost more again.
