Someone beat me to it.

Two weeks ago on April 5, Reddit user zellybelly1 posted a photo album (external link) showing off a 100% complete grandmaster set of Avatar UB cards. It took them 4 months and approx. $15,000 USD to obtain every card.

Luckily, this project is not a race. I'm hoping my own collection will come in at a much lower total cost given my slower rate of acquisition. Honestly, I'm relieved to see someone else pull it off—it means this set is completable.

More importantly, their binder has become a reference point for my own collection. Going through the photos carefully, something immediately stood out: the absence of 15 non-foil TLE cards I had originally included in my total. My figure of 1,726 was wrong! There are in fact only 1,711 extant cards in this set once you remove the following non-foils from the list:

• 210: Aang, Air Nomad
• 211: Aang's Defense
• 214: Appa, Aang's Companion
• 218: Sledding Otter-Penguin
• 219: Sokka, Wolf Cove's Protector
• 220: Tundra Wall
• 221: Wolf Cove Villager
• 234: Capital Guard
• 238: Fire Nation Soldier
• 239: Fire Nation's Conquest
• 240: Iroh, Firebending Instructor
• 244: Warship Scout
• 245: Zhao, the Seething Flame
• 246: Zuko, Avatar Hunter
• 247: Zuko's Offense

Scryfall does document this, in fairness, though it's easy to miss unless you already suspect something is off:

"The non-tutorial printings of some cards from the Avatar Beginner Box's tutorial decks were only available in Collector's Boosters, making them foil-only."

This is similar to what we had seen previously with Earthbending Student, with the only difference being that Earthbending Student never got a tutorial card equivalent in non-foil.

I have updated the Grandmaster Checklist tool to exclude these non-existent cards. This lower, truer total brings me to a clean 60% completion. I'll speak to some of my recent pickups in a separate post.
