What counts as a master set
A complete set is every numbered card in SM Black Star Promos — the 248 cards in the printed run. A master set goes further: it adds the reverse-holo of every eligible card, plus the secret rares and alternate arts numbered above the printed total (the 2 cards beyond #248). PocketRune uses the “Standard” definition — every variant, minus promos — and lets you pick Complete, Master, or Master + Promos when you build a binder.
SM Black Star Promos by the numbers
- 248 numbered cards (the complete set)
- 250 cards including secret rares & alternate arts
- 2 secret rares / alternate arts above the numbered run
- Plus a reverse-holo of every eligible card for a true master set
How to track your progress
The fastest way is the SM Black Star Promos checklist— tap each card you own and watch your completion percentage climb. Signed in, it syncs across your devices; as a guest it's saved in your browser. Filter to missing and you have an instant want-list to take shopping.
Build the binder
Once you know what you're chasing, build a 9-pocket binder seeded with the whole set in order — the cards you've already checked off start as owned, the rest as wanted. Mark them owned as they arrive, then export a print-ready PDF when you're done.
The expensive cards usually decide how hard a master set is — see the SM Black Star Promos chase cards for the ones worth budgeting for, and the binder layouts for ways to arrange the pages.
