Across the Simplified Chinese sets Rapidash is 3 products, with Collect 151 alone printing 3 of the 6 cards. The top card is Rapidash #78 at $328.46, while a Collect 151 print lands at number 1.
What makes the shape worth reading is where the cards sit. 3 of the 6 Rapidash cards come out of Collect 151 at #78, and that one line supplies 1 of the 2 ranked cards — 71 percent of the character’s graded value. The first card outside that line is Rapidash V from cs3aC, which reaches number 2 at $134.69.
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 — 151C, cs3aC and csv10C. 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. 6 Rapidash cards exist across these sets and 2 have a PSA 10 price on record. The 4 that do not are Rapidash [Master Ball] #78, Rapidash [Reverse] #78 and 2 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 Rapidash 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 two, ranked
1. Rapidash #78 — Collect 151 (151C) — $328.46
Raw $1.92 · grade 9 $254.33
The top card of the ranking and a card from Collect 151. The step below it is $194, wider than any other gap on the page. At $1.92 raw against $328.46 graded it multiplies 171.1 times. Number 78 in Collect 151 is Rapidash’s entry in the set of the original 151 Pokémon, the only product where every one of them has a card.
2. Rapidash V #135 — cs3aC — $134.69
Raw $37.50 · grade 9 $23.44
Number 2 of 2, the lowest-priced entry and the card that breaks the Collect 151 sequence. Raw to graded is only 3.6 times, since $37.50 raw already carries part of the premium.
What the ranking shows
Rapidash splits into 1 bands across 2 priced cards, and the top band is where the ranking is decided.
| Band | Cards | Combined PSA 10 value | Share of total |
|---|---|---|---|
| $135 – $328 — ranked 1 to 2 | 2 | $463 | 100.0% |
| Every priced Rapidash card | 2 | $463 | 100% |
Two further patterns run across the whole group.
A Kanto entry breaks the run. Rapidash is one of the original 151 Pokémon, so Collect 151 prints it, and that print lands at number 1. Characters from later generations have no entry in that set and therefore no card that can break a Gem Pack run.
The band is $194 wide. Between $328.46 at the top and $134.69 at the bottom, the whole ranked list sits inside a $194 window — narrow enough that assembling the entire run costs close to what the first card costs alone.
Where Rapidash is printed
| Product | Set code | Rapidash cards | With a PSA 10 value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Collect 151 | 151C | 3 | 1 |
| cs3aC | cs3aC | 2 | 1 |
| Chasing Glory Together | csv10C | 1 | 0 |
| Total | 6 | 2 |
Collect 151 supplies 3 of the 6 Rapidash cards and 71 percent of the $463 total, because the expensive cards are inside that line. Collect 151 prints Rapidash as one of the original 151, and those prints are priced generously relative to the Gem Pack foils. 4 of the 6 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: Rapidash #78 from Collect 151 at $328.46. It is the only Rapidash card in the language above $135.
- The second line: Rapidash V #135 from cs3aC at $134.69, the second-highest Rapidash card in these sets and the next step down from the top.
Frequently asked questions
How many Rapidash cards are there in Simplified Chinese?
6, across 3 products. 2 of the 6 carry a tracked PSA 10 value.
What is the most valuable Rapidash card in Simplified Chinese?
Rapidash #78 from Collect 151, tracked at $328.46 as a PSA 10 and $1.92 raw. It is the only Rapidash card in these sets above $135, and it holds 71 percent of the character’s combined value.
Why is there a Collect 151 Rapidash card on the list?
Because Rapidash is one of the original 151 Pokémon and Collect 151 prints every one of them. It lands at number 1 at $328.46. 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 3.6 to 171.1, 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

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.
