Across the Simplified Chinese sets Vulpix is 4 products, with Gem Pack Vol. 1 alone printing 5 of the 10 cards. The top card is Vulpix [Stamped] #805 at $39.17, while a Collect 151 print lands at number 4.
What makes the shape worth reading is where the cards sit. 5 of the 10 Vulpix cards come out of Gem Pack Vol. 1 as a run from #801 to #805, and that one line supplies 4 of the 5 ranked cards — 80 percent of the character’s graded value. The first card outside that line is Vulpix from Collect 151, which reaches number 4 at $37.53.
How this list was built
Three rules, applied in this order.
- The card has to sit in a Chinese-only set. Every card below carries a set code ending in C — CBB1C, 151C, CS4aC and csv4C. That trailing letter marks a Simplified Chinese print run, and it is the dependable way to tell a Chinese-only card from a card that merely happens to be printed in Chinese. Reading a Chinese set code from end to end covers the whole system.
- The card has to have a tracked PSA 10 value. 10 Vulpix cards exist across these sets and 5 have a PSA 10 price on record. The 5 that do not are Vulpix [Master Ball] #37, Vulpix [Reverse] #37 and 3 more — none of them has a graded sold record yet, and a card with no price cannot be ranked.
- The card has to be a Pokémon card. Sealed product, trainer cards and energy are out of scope.
One exclusion applies here as it does to every character ranking we publish. Promo printings of Vulpix exist in Chinese and they are not on this list. Promo numbering is shared across the Chinese branches — the same promo number appears in Traditional Chinese product as well — so a promo number on its own cannot establish which branch a card came from. Everything below sits inside a numbered set whose code ends in C, which is unambiguous.
The five, ranked
1. Vulpix [Stamped] #805 — Gem Pack Vol. 1 (CBB1C) — $39.17
Raw $2.18 · grade 9 $13.34
The top card of the ranking and part of the Gem Pack Vol. 1 Vulpix group, which runs from #801 to #805. Less than a dollar separates it from the card below. The raw-to-graded step here is 18.0 times.
2. Vulpix #801 — Gem Pack Vol. 1 (CBB1C) — $39.01
Raw $2.15 · grade 9 $13.27
Sitting at 2 of 5 and a Gem Pack Vol. 1 card inside the #801 to #805 run. The card under it is priced within a dollar of this one. Less than a dollar separates it from the card above. Its raw price of $2.15 multiplies 18.1 times into the graded value.
3. Vulpix [Masterball] #804 — Gem Pack Vol. 1 (CBB1C) — $38.79
Raw $2.09 · grade 9 $13.21
Ranked 3 of 5 and one of the Vulpix prints that run from #801 to #805 in Gem Pack Vol. 1. Less than a dollar separates it from the card above. The raw-to-graded step here is 18.6 times.
4. Vulpix #37 — Collect 151 (151C) — $37.53
Raw $2.14 · grade 9 $12.74
Number 4 of 5 and the one entry from outside the Gem Pack Vol. 1 line. Its raw price of $2.14 multiplies 17.5 times into the graded value. This is the Collect 151 print at #37, the set where all of the original 151 Pokémon have a card.
5. Vulpix [Pokeball] #802 — Gem Pack Vol. 1 (CBB1C) — $36.43
Raw $1.54 · grade 9 $12.35
The last card on the list and a Gem Pack Vol. 1 card inside the #801 to #805 run. Raw copies at $1.54 becoming $36.43 in a PSA 10 holder is a multiple of 23.7, the shape most set-checklist foils in this series have.
What the ranking shows
Vulpix splits into 1 bands across 5 priced cards, and the top band is where the ranking is decided.
| Band | Cards | Combined PSA 10 value | Share of total |
|---|---|---|---|
| $36 – $39 — ranked 1 to 5 | 5 | $191 | 100.0% |
| Every priced Vulpix card | 5 | $191 | 100% |
Two further patterns run across the whole group.
A Kanto entry breaks the run. Vulpix is one of the original 151 Pokémon, so Collect 151 prints it, and that print lands at number 4. Characters from later generations have no entry in that set and therefore no card that can break a Gem Pack run.
The band is $3 wide. Between $39.17 at the top and $36.43 at the bottom, the whole ranked list sits inside a $3 window — narrow enough that assembling the entire run costs close to what the first card costs alone.
Where Vulpix is printed
| Product | Set code | Vulpix cards | With a PSA 10 value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gem Pack Vol. 1 | CBB1C | 5 | 4 |
| Collect 151 | 151C | 3 | 1 |
| CS4aC | CS4aC | 1 | 0 |
| Reward Round | csv4C | 1 | 0 |
| Total | 10 | 5 |
Gem Pack Vol. 1 supplies 5 of the 10 Vulpix cards and 80 percent of the $191 total, because the expensive cards are inside that line. Collect 151 prints Vulpix as one of the original 151, and those prints are priced generously relative to the Gem Pack foils. 5 of the 10 cards carry no price at all, so the checklist in the table above is longer than the ranking it supports. If the goal is the group rather than the single card, completing a Simplified Chinese set sets out what a full run involves.
If you want one card
- One card, no budget limit: Vulpix [Stamped] #805 from Gem Pack Vol. 1 at $39.17. It is the highest-priced Vulpix card in these sets.
- The second line: Vulpix #801 from Gem Pack Vol. 1 at $39.01, the second-highest Vulpix card in these sets and the next step down from the top.
- The Kanto print: Vulpix #37 from Collect 151 at $37.53 — the character’s entry in the set of the original 151, and the only Vulpix card that exists in that product.
- If you want the whole shelf: 5 of the 5 ranked cards sit at $39 or below, inside a few dollars of each other, so the lower rungs can be assembled in one go.
Frequently asked questions
How many Vulpix cards are there in Simplified Chinese?
10, across 4 products. 5 of the 10 carry a tracked PSA 10 value.
What is the most valuable Vulpix card in Simplified Chinese?
Vulpix [Stamped] #805 from Gem Pack Vol. 1, tracked at $39.17 as a PSA 10 and $2.18 raw. It is the only Vulpix card in these sets above $39, and it holds 21 percent of the character’s combined value.
Why is there a Collect 151 Vulpix card on the list?
Because Vulpix is one of the original 151 Pokémon and Collect 151 prints every one of them. It lands at number 4 at $37.53. Characters from later generations are not in that set, so they have no Kanto print to break a Gem Pack run.
Is a PSA 10 worth the premium over a raw card?
Raw-to-graded multiples across the list run from 17.5 to 23.7, so on most cards the graded premium is real. Where the multiple is lowest, the raw price already carries most of the value. Grading outcomes are never certain, and nothing here is a prediction about what any individual card will grade at.
Do the Collect 151 prints come in more than one treatment?
Yes. A number in Collect 151 exists as a plain card, a reverse holo and a Master Ball reverse holo. Only the plain print usually trades enough to have a price attached. The series guide explains the two reverse holo patterns.
Other character rankings
Each character with a full five or ten-card ranking has its own page: Ceruledge, Charizard, Eevee, Espeon, Flareon, Floragato, Gengar, Glaceon, Jolteon, Leafeon, Mew, Pikachu, Sylveon, Umbreon, Vaporeon, and among the shorter runs Alakazam, Applin, Articuno, Blastoise, Captain Pikachu, Chandelure, Chansey, Charmander, Clefable, Crocalor, Cubone, Fuecoco.
Beyond the single character, the ten most popular Chinese-exclusive cards ranks across Pokémon, the price ladder sorts the same catalogue into bands, and the collector’s index lists every Pokémon that appears in the Chinese-only sets with its card count, priced count and top value.
