The Five Latios Cards Worth Owning in Simplified Chinese

Written by

in

Here are the top 5 Latios cards in Simplified Chinese, ranked by PSA 10 value.

Quick answer

CardSpicy (cardspicy.com) ranks the Latios cards of the Dragon Ball card games by recorded PSA 10 sale value rather than by asking price, and lists every Latios printing that has a tracked graded sale.

Latios is the most concentrated ranking on this site, and it is not close. Thirteen Latios cards exist in the Chinese-only set codes, nine of them carry a PSA 10 value, and one of those nine holds 77.6 percent of the character’s entire total.

The card in question is a shared print — Latias & Latios GX from CSM2aC at #175 — and it is tracked at $1,435.38. The card in second place is tracked at $81.32. That is a factor of 17.7 between first and second, and there is nothing at all in between: no card in the character’s list sits anywhere between $82 and $1,435.

The second figure worth keeping is what that does to the rest. Take the shared card away and Latios’s remaining eight cards add up to $414. The raw, ungraded version of that one card is tracked at $839 — about twice what every other Latios PSA 10 in the language is worth combined.

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 — CSM2aC, CSM2bC, CBB5C. 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. Thirteen Latios cards exist across these sets and nine have a PSA 10 price on record. The four that do not are a CS4bC holo, a second CSM2aC printing of the shared card, a CSM2bC print, and one number inside the Gem Pack Vol. 5 group — none has a graded sold record the price feed captures, 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 Latios 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 top 5, ranked

5. Latios #1307 — Gem Pack Vol. 5 (CBB5C) — $46

Raw $7.50 · grade 9 $20.01

The highest-numbered card in the Vol. 5 group, and the highest raw price of any solo Latios print at $7.50. Its multiple from raw to PSA 10 is 6.1 times, the second narrowest in this top five, and it is the only card here whose raw price exceeds its own distance from the card above it.

4. Latios #1303 — Gem Pack Vol. 5 (CBB5C) — $47

Raw $5.09 · grade 9 $14.66

The highest-priced card from the Vol. 5 group, sixty-seven cents above the card at number five. Raw copies are tracked at $5.09, so a holder multiplies that 9.2 times. It is also the last card in this ranking above the $46 mark.

3. Latias & Latios GX #108 — CSM2aC — $81

Raw $13.99 · grade 9 $25.00

The lower-priced of the two shared prints in this top five, and the second card the character shares with Latias. Its raw price of $13.99 and grade 9 record of $25.00 are both the highest below the top card, which makes it the strongest of the eight cards that are not the outlier — and it is still worth 5.7 percent of what the card at number one is worth.

2. Latios GX #62 — CSM2bC — $81

Raw $2.04 · grade 9 record not available

The highest-priced Latios card that is not shared with another Pokémon, and it finishes seven cents above the shared print below it. Raw copies are tracked at $2.04, the second lowest raw price in the ranking, so a holder multiplies that 39.9 times — the widest step anywhere in this list. There is no grade 9 figure on record for it, which means the entire distance between raw and top grade is unobserved on this card.

1. Latias & Latios GX #175 — CSM2aC — $1,435

Raw $839.00 · grade 9 $818.00

The most valuable Latios card in Simplified Chinese by a factor of 17.7 over the next one, and the card that single-handedly defines this ranking. It is a shared print: Latias appears in the artwork alongside Latios. Raw copies are tracked at $839.00 — more than every other Latios PSA 10 in the language added together — and grade 9 at $818.00 sits below raw, so the ungraded copy carries the money on this card too. The step from raw to PSA 10 is 1.7 times, the narrowest in the list: almost all of the $1,435 already exists in the raw card. It holds 77.6 percent of the character’s total on its own.

The five, by PSA 10 value. The top bar is 17.7 times the second, and every card below the top is under $82.

What the ranking shows

Latios has one card in the four figures and eight cards in the double digits, with a gap of $1,354 between them and nothing at all in the space between.

Band Cards Combined PSA 10 value Share of total
$1,000 – $1,500 — ranked 1 1 $1,435 77.6%
$250 – $1,000 0 — —
$100 – $250 0 — —
$50 – $100 — ranked 2 to 3 2 $163 8.8%
Under $50 — ranked 4 to 9 6 $251 13.6%
Every priced Latios card 9 $1,849 100%

Two further patterns run across the whole group.

The shared line is 82 percent of the character, and one card inside it is 77.6. The two shared Latias & Latios GX prints with a price carry $1,517 between them; the seven Latios-only cards carry $333. Between them the two shared prints are more than four times the solo half of the character, and the single card at #175 is more than both of them put together. For scale, Gengar’s shared line is 42 percent of that character and the highest-priced cards overall sit in a much narrower band than this.

The card at the top of this ranking behaves nothing like the cards at the bottom. On the eight cards below the top, grading is doing the work: raw prices run from $2.04 to $13.99 and become $38.75 to $81.32, multiples of between 5.8 and 39.9 times. On the card at number one the multiple is 1.7 — because its raw price of $839.00 already accounts for most of its $1,435 value, and because its grade 9 record of $818.00 is below its raw price, meaning the middle grade carries no premium at all. One card in this list is a market instrument; the other eight are cheap cards that get expensive in a holder.

Where Latios is printed

Product Set code Latios cards With a PSA 10 value
Gem Pack Vol. 5 CBB5C 7 6
CSM2aC CSM2aC 3 2
CSM2bC CSM2bC 2 1
CS4bC CS4bC 1 0
Total 13 9

The counts are cards, not artworks. Gem Pack prints every Pokémon in a volume as a group of seven treatments, which is why a single Latios entry in Vol. 5 produces seven separate cards on a checklist; Latios occupies one full group there, running #1301 to #1307. Six of the seven carry a price and the seventh, #1302, does not.

But the group is not where this character’s value comes from. Gem Pack Vol. 5 supplies seven of the thirteen cards and $251 of the $1,849 total — 13.6 percent, from more than half the cards. CSM2aC supplies three cards and $1,517, or 82 percent, from a single shared line. The remaining two sets add one priced card between them.

Latios is not one of the original 151 Pokémon — its National Pokédex number is 381 — so it has no Collect 151 entry, and neither does Latias. The commissioned Collect 151 art rares are all Pikachu. The one CS4bC holo in the list, at #96, is the only Latios card in these sets that comes out of none of the four products above by name, and it is the one with no price recorded at all.

If you want one card

  • One Latios card, no budget limit: the Latias & Latios GX print at #175, at $1,435. It is the highest tracked Latios card in the language and one of the highest single-card figures in any character ranking published here — and most of its price sits in the raw card rather than in a holder.
  • The highest card that is only Latios: Latios GX from CSM2bC at #62, at $81. It is the most valuable card in the list that does not also carry Latias’s name, and the widest grading step anywhere in the ranking at 39.9 times off a $2.04 raw price.
  • The achievable one: the Gem Pack Vol. 5 group, six priced cards at $39 to $47. Between them they are worth $251 — about one sixth of the single card at number one — and that is the honest shape of this character: one impossible card, and a group that is entirely buyable.

Frequently asked questions

What is the most valuable Latios card in Simplified Chinese?

Latias & Latios GX from CSM2aC — #175 — carries the highest tracked PSA 10 value among Latios cards in Chinese-only numbered sets, at $1,435.38. It is a shared print, with Latias in the artwork alongside Latios. Chinese promo printings sit outside that comparison, because their numbering is shared between the Chinese branches.

Why is there nothing between $82 and $1,435 in this ranking?

Because the character only has one card that the market treats as a chase card. That card is a secret-rare printing of a shared Latias & Latios GX artwork, and nothing else Latios appears in these sets at anything close to that tier — no VMAX, no VSTAR, no separate commission in the four figures. The eight remaining priced cards are all ordinary Gem Pack group treatments or ordinary set prints, and those cluster tightly between $38.75 and $81.32. The blank space in the middle is the absence of a second card at the top, not an artefact of how the list is ordered.

Are there Latios cards that are not shared with Latias?

Yes — seven of the nine priced cards are Latios alone. They are the six priced treatments in the Gem Pack Vol. 5 group, running #1301 to #1307, and one print from CSM2bC at #62. Between them they carry $333, or 18 percent of the character’s total. Everything else with a price is a Latias & Latios GX printing, and one further printing of that shared card is untracked.

Is it worth grading a Latios card?

It depends entirely on which card. On the six Gem Pack prints, raw copies run from $1.86 to $7.50 and become $38.75 to $46.67 in a PSA 10 holder, multiples of between 6.1 and 20.8 times. On Latios GX #62 the multiple is 39.9. On the shared card at number one it is 1.7, because a raw copy at $839.00 already carries most of the value — and there, grading is a way to certify a card that is already expensive rather than a way to create value. Grading outcomes are never certain, and nothing here is a prediction about what any individual card will grade at.

How does Latios compare with the other characters ranked here?

Its $1,849 total puts it ahead of Charizard on less than a third of the cards, and its $1,435 top card is the highest single card in any character ranking published here apart from Pikachu. It is also the most unevenly distributed: the top card is 77.6 percent of the total, where the equivalent figure is under 30 percent for Pikachu, Charizard and Gengar, and 14.8 percent for Floragato. One card and a group is the whole character.

Other character rankings

Each character ranked here has its own page: Pikachu, Charizard, Gengar, Psyduck, Ceruledge and Floragato, along with the nine forms of the Eevee family — Eevee, Umbreon, Sylveon, Espeon, Leafeon, Glaceon, Jolteon, Vaporeon and Flareon.
