How many cards are in Base Set?
There are 102 cards in total. The printed set size is 102, so cards numbered higher than 102/102 are secret rares. Completing a full “master set” usually also means collecting reverse-holo versions of the cards that have them.
What's the most valuable card in Base Set?
Live prices are temporarily unavailable. Check completed eBay UK listings for current values.
Where can I buy Base Set in the UK?
Older sets are long out of print, so sealed product is usually only available second-hand from specialist dealers, auctions and marketplaces — check carefully for resealed packs. Single cards are easiest to find on Cardmarket and eBay; always compare against recent sold prices.
