Recycle Energy$14.01League giveaway cosmos holo
None of these 4 cards are part of the 111-card Neo Genesis Master Set. Cyndaquil and Totodile are oversized jumbos from the modern Johto First Partner Pack, the Recycle Energy was a League giveaway printed with no expansion symbol on cosmos holofoil, and Typhlosion carries the documented red-dot printing error. Switch them on in the binder to lay them out with the set.
What binder does 111 cards need?
Since the Neo Genesis 1st Edition Master Set has a total of 111 cards you’ll need:
- 9-pocket binder — 13 dual-sided pages
- 12-pocket binder — 10 dual-sided pages
Always leave extra room — graded slabs, the Unlimited printing and the jumbo, promo and error printings all need somewhere to go.

Your Neo Genesis Master Set Questions, Answered
How many cards are in the Neo Genesis Master Set?
A full Neo Genesis Master Set contains:
19 holo rares
16 rares
35 uncommons
41 commons
Total: 111 cards — 226 once you count every Neo Genesis printing
What counts as a complete Neo Genesis Master Set?
A complete Neo Genesis Master Set is the 111 numbered cards, in 1st Edition, Unlimited, or both — they are the same set, and the black “Edition 1” stamp is the only difference between them.
The two First Partner Pack jumbos (Cyndaquil, Totodile), the League cosmos Recycle Energy and the red-dot Typhlosion are usually treated as optional additions for a Grand Master Set.
How many binder pages do I need for a Neo Genesis Master Set?
For a 111-card Neo Genesis Master Set you’ll need:
✔ 9-pocket binder — 13 dual-sided pages
✔ 12-pocket binder — 10 dual-sided pages
If you are aiming for the 226-printing Grand Master Set:
✔ 9-pocket binder — 26 dual-sided pages
✔ 12-pocket binder — 19 dual-sided pages
Are promos part of a Neo Genesis Master Set?
In short, no. None of them was a booster-pack card — the two jumbos are modern merchandise reprints and the cosmos Recycle Energy was a League giveaway.
Many collectors still add them. That expanded version is often called a Grand Master Set.
How much does it cost to master Neo Genesis?
Based on ungraded sold comps at PriceCharting, the 1st Edition Neo Genesis Master Set totals $5,013.81 — that is every one of the 111 cards, not including promos and variants.
Prices move over time, so treat this as a current market estimate rather than a fixed checklist value. On our comps the most expensive card is Slowking #14, ahead of Typhlosion #17 and Lugia #9.
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 111 numbered 1st Edition cards, summed; the PSA 10 figure is unconditioned PSA 10 market values for the same 111 cards.
