151 master set: cards, pages, layout and value
Updated 15 Oct 2026 · Prices: Cardmarket, 30-day average
151 is where many collectors start their first master set: the 151 Pokémon of Kanto, in Pokédex order, plus the big illustrations. Here is how many cards it really has, how many pages you need and where the value sits.
How many cards are in 151?
The set has 165 official numbers and 42 secret rares above them, 207 cards in total. 153 of them also exist as reverse holos. Collect every number once plus every reverse and you end up at about 360 cards, without promos and language variants.
How many binder pages do you need?
| Binder | 207 numbers | Master set, about 360 |
|---|---|---|
| 9 pockets (3×3) | 23 pages | 40 pages |
| 12 pockets (3×4) | 18 pages | 30 pages |
| 16 pockets (4×4) | 13 pages | 23 pages |
A 360-pocket binder (20 sheets of 9, both sides) holds the 207 numbers. For the full master set you need two binders or one with 12 pockets per page.
Three layouts that work
- By number. In 151 the set number is almost the Pokédex number. Nine cards per page give rows you recognise: the first page is exactly the three starter lines, Bulbasaur to Blastoise.
- Reverse next to it. Regular card and reverse holo side by side. Twice the pages, but you see at a glance what is missing.
- Illustrations separate. The 42 secret rares at the end or in their own binder. The six starter illustrations (166 to 171) and the three starter ex (198 to 200) fill exactly one page together.
What is 151 worth?
All 207 cards together cost €1,955 by the 30-day Cardmarket average. The ten most expensive cards make up €1,226 of that, 63 %. 151 cards are under €1. The top five:
- Charizard ex (199), Special illustration rare: €398
- Blastoise ex (200), Special illustration rare: €142
- Zapdos ex (202), Special illustration rare: €120
- Venusaur ex (198), Special illustration rare: €120
- Charmander (168), Illustration rare: €88
Every card price is on the 151 set page.
