Quick answer

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

Morpeko has thirteen cards in the Chinese-only sets and six of them carry a tracked PSA 10 value. They add to $236.48, and one card accounts for almost a quarter of that. The full art at #1407 is tracked at $53.47; the other five sit inside $5.34 of each other.

What makes the split worth reading is where it comes from. The full art is the only Morpeko card in these sets with a raw price above three dollars — $8.95, against $2.19 for the next highest. That single number shapes the whole ranking, because the step from raw to PSA 10 runs from 6.0 times on the full art to 34.5 times on the card at the bottom. The more a raw copy already costs, the less grading adds.

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 the set code CBB3C — Gem Pack Vol. 3. The trailing C 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 Morpeko cards exist in these sets and six have a PSA 10 price on record. The seven that do not are listed at the end of this page. A card with no graded record 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 Morpeko 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

5. Morpeko [Masterball] #1405 — Gem Pack Vol. 3 (CBB3C) — $35.20

Raw $1.16 · grade 9 $11.65

The fifth print of the seven-card group. Raw copies are tracked at $1.16 against $35.20 graded, a multiple of 30.3. Its grade 9 record of $11.65 is the second lowest of the six priced cards, and it sits 72 cents above the card ranked sixth — the narrowest gap in this ranking.

4. Morpeko [Rotary] #1404 — Gem Pack Vol. 3 (CBB3C) — $36.51

Raw $1.34 · grade 9 $12.06

The rotary-pattern foil, and the fourth print of the group. Raw copies are tracked at $1.34 and grade 9 at $12.06, a multiple of 27.2. It sits $1.31 above the card ranked fifth and 49 cents below the card ranked third, in a run of four finishes separated by $4.62 in total.

3. Morpeko #1401 — Gem Pack Vol. 3 (CBB3C) — $37.00

Raw $1.54 · grade 9 $12.21

The plain print of the group, and its lowest-numbered card. Raw copies are tracked at $1.54 against $37.00 graded, a multiple of 24.0. Its grade 9 record of $12.21 is the third highest of the six priced cards, and its raw price is the second highest behind the full art.

2. Morpeko [Stamped] #1406 — Gem Pack Vol. 3 (CBB3C) — $39.82

Raw $2.19 · grade 9 $13.11

The stamped foil, and the last print of the group before the full art. It is the highest-priced Morpeko card that is not a full art, and it would be the top of this ranking on any other finish. Raw copies are tracked at $2.19 and grade 9 at $13.11, a multiple of 18.2 — the second smallest step in the group. It sits $2.82 above the card ranked third and $13.65 below the card at number one.

1. Morpeko [Full Art] #1407 — Gem Pack Vol. 3 (CBB3C) — $53.47

Raw $8.95 · grade 9 $22.50

The most valuable Morpeko card in Simplified Chinese, and the only one above $40. It is $13.65 clear of the card below it. Its raw price of $8.95 is more than four times the next highest raw price in the group, and its grade 9 record of $22.50 is the highest by more than nine dollars. From raw to PSA 10 the step is 6.0 times, the narrowest on this list by a wide margin — the same card is both the most expensive Morpeko raw and the one grading multiplies least. It holds 22.6 percent of the character against an even share of 16.7 percent.

What the ranking shows

Morpeko is one artwork and seven finishes, all of them from a single volume.

Band	Cards	Combined PSA 10 value	Share of total
$50 and above — ranked 1	1	$53.47	22.6%
$35 to $50 — ranked 2 to 5	4	$148.53	62.8%
Under $35 — ranked 6	1	$34.48	14.6%
Every priced Morpeko card	6	$236.48	100%

Two points run across the whole group, and they are two ways of reading the same number.

The step from raw to graded gets wider as the card gets cheaper. Read down the six priced cards and the multiples run 6.0, 18.2, 24.0, 27.2, 30.3 and 34.5 — rising at every step, with no exceptions. The pattern is not a coincidence of this character. On a card from a Gem Pack group the artwork is the same throughout, so what a raw copy costs is mostly a question of supply; a cheap raw card has room for grading to multiply it, and an expensive one does not. The full art is the extreme case: at $8.95 raw it is the most expensive Morpeko card before grading, and the 6.0 multiple it returns is the smallest in the group by a distance. Our grading guide covers why an individual result can land either side of a recorded average.

Rank the group by raw price and you get the same order as ranking it by PSA 10 value. The full art is the most expensive raw card and the most valuable graded one; the stars foil at #1403 is the least expensive on both counts. All six line up, with nothing swapped along the way. That is the shape a single-volume group takes when the finishes are issued at the same rarity and the raw market prices them in the order the graded market does. It is not how a character with cards spread across several products behaves — there, a card from one set can outrank a Gem Pack print raw and fall behind it graded. The volume-by-volume guide sets out how those groups are built.

Where Morpeko is printed

Product	Set code	Morpeko cards	Priced
Gem Pack Vol. 3	CBB3C	7	6
Blade Awakening	csv7C	3	0
Chasing Glory Together	csv10C	1	0
Grand Terastal Gathering	csv9.5C	1	0
cs3aC	cs3aC	1	0
Total		13	6

The counts are cards, not artworks. Gem Pack Vol. 3 gives Morpeko one group running #1401 to #1407 — a plain print, a Poké Ball foil, a stars foil, a rotary foil, a Master Ball foil, a stamped foil and a full art. Six of the seven carry a graded price; the Poké Ball foil at #1402 is the one that does not. The other six Morpeko cards in these sets come from four different products, and not one of them has a tracked value, so the whole of the character’s priced catalogue is the single Vol. 3 group.

Morpeko is an eighth-generation Galar Pokémon, so — unlike Charizard and Pikachu — he has no Collect 151 entry, since that set covers only the original 151 characters. One Gem Pack group and six unpriced cards from four other products are the whole of his Chinese-only catalogue.

If you want one card

• One card, no budget limit: the full art from Gem Pack Vol. 3 at #1407, at $53.47. It is the highest tracked Morpeko card in the language, the only one above $40, and the highest raw price in the group by more than four times.
• The highest-graded card that is not a full art: the stamped foil from Gem Pack Vol. 3 at #1406, at $39.82. Its raw price of $2.19 is the second highest of the six priced prints.
• The lowest entry point: the stars foil from Gem Pack Vol. 3 at #1403, at $34.48. It is the least expensive Morpeko card with a tracked value, and it sits $18.99 below the top of the list.

Frequently asked questions

Which Morpeko card is the most valuable in Simplified Chinese?

The full art from Gem Pack Vol. 3 — #1407 — carries the highest tracked PSA 10 value of any Morpeko card in the Chinese-only numbered sets, at $53.47. It is $13.65 above the second card, and the only Morpeko card above $40. Chinese promo printings sit outside that comparison, because their numbering is shared between the Chinese branches.

How many Morpeko cards are there in the Chinese-only sets?

Thirteen, across five products: seven from Gem Pack Vol. 3, three from Blade Awakening, and one each from Chasing Glory Together, Grand Terastal Gathering and cs3aC. Six of the thirteen carry a tracked PSA 10 value. The seven that do not are the Poké Ball foil at #1402 from Vol. 3, the three Blade Awakening printings of #87, and one card each from Chasing Glory Together, Grand Terastal Gathering and cs3aC.

Why is the full-art Morpeko worth so much more than the rest?

Because it is the only Morpeko card in these sets whose raw price stands apart. Raw copies are tracked at $8.95, against $2.19 for the next highest of the six priced prints — more than four times as much. A full art is a different kind of print from the foil treatments in the same group, and raw buyers price it accordingly. The graded gap follows the raw one rather than outgrowing it: the full art is $13.65 above the second card, while grading multiplies it 6.0 times against 18.2 for the card below it.

Is a PSA 10 worth the premium over a raw card?

Less on the full art than on anything else in the group. The full art at #1407 is tracked at $8.95 raw against $53.47 graded, a multiple of 6.0. The stars foil at #1403 is tracked at $1.00 raw against $34.48 graded, a multiple of 34.5 — almost six times the step. Between them the raw prices differ by a factor of nine while the graded prices differ by barely half. A printed figure is an observation, not a forecast, and grading outcomes are never certain.

How does Morpeko compare with the other characters ranked here?

His $236.48 total is one of the smallest, and the catalogue behind it is narrow: seven cards in one Gem Pack group, of which six carry a value. What makes him worth a page is how cleanly the group behaves — six finishes whose raw order and graded order agree at every position, and a step from raw to graded that climbs without a single reversal. For a wider view of the market rather than one character, the ten most popular Chinese-exclusive cards ranks across Pokémon, and the price ladder sorts the same catalogue into bands.

Other character rankings

Each character ranked here has its own page: Pikachu, Charizard, Gengar, Psyduck, Mew, Snorlax, Venusaur, Blastoise, Zapdos, Alakazam and Chansey, plus the nine forms of the Eevee family — Eevee, Umbreon, Sylveon, Espeon, Leafeon, Glaceon, Jolteon, Vaporeon and Flareon. Smaller catalogues in the same price band as this one include Floragato, Clefable, Magneton, Crocalor and Quaxwell.

Quick answer

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

Mismagius has seven cards in the Chinese-only sets and every one of them comes from the same volume. Six carry a tracked PSA 10 value and they add to $228.49 — a whole catalogue inside $5.50. The card with the highest raw price and the highest grade 9 record in the group is the least expensive one at PSA 10.

What makes the list worth reading is that nothing in it breaks away. The top card holds 17.5 percent of the character against an even share of 16.7 percent, and the six priced prints sit between $34.50 and $40.00. On a character like this, a ranking is not a story about scarcity. It is a record of what six finishes of one artwork are worth to the people buying them.

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 the set code CBB3C — Gem Pack Vol. 3. The trailing C 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. Seven Mismagius cards exist in these sets and six have a PSA 10 price on record. The one that does not is the Poké Ball foil at #902. A card with no graded record 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 Mismagius 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

5. Mismagius [Stars] #903 — Gem Pack Vol. 3 (CBB3C) — $36.99

Raw $1.56 · grade 9 $12.22

The lowest card on this list and the fifth of the seven prints in the group. Raw copies are tracked at $1.56 against $36.99 graded, a multiple of 23.7. Its grade 9 record of $12.22 is the second lowest of the six priced cards — the middle grade tracks the raw price closely here, and neither of them predicts the order of the graded cards.

4. Mismagius [Rotary] #904 — Gem Pack Vol. 3 (CBB3C) — $38.53

Raw $1.90 · grade 9 $12.70

The rotary-pattern foil, and the fourth of the seven prints. Its raw price of $1.90 is the third highest of the six priced cards, and the multiple from raw to PSA 10 is 20.3. It sits 34 cents below the card ranked third, in a list where the whole spread from first to sixth is $5.50.

3. Mismagius #901 — Gem Pack Vol. 3 (CBB3C) — $38.87

Raw $1.98 · grade 9 $12.82

The plain print of the group, and its lowest-numbered card. Raw copies are tracked at $1.98 and grade 9 at $12.82, a multiple of 19.6. It is one of five prints in the group priced between $36.99 and $40.00, which is the whole of the character’s priced catalogue apart from the full art.

2. Mismagius [Stamped] #906 — Gem Pack Vol. 3 (CBB3C) — $39.60

Raw $2.14 · grade 9 $13.04

The stamped foil, and the highest raw price of the six priced cards other than the full art. It is 40 cents below the card at number one and 73 cents above the card at number three. Its grade 9 record of $13.04 is the second highest in the group.

1. Mismagius [Masterball] #905 — Gem Pack Vol. 3 (CBB3C) — $40.00

Raw $1.28 · grade 9 $11.82

The most valuable Mismagius card in Simplified Chinese, and the only one that reaches a round $40. It also has the lowest raw price of the six priced cards, at $1.28, and the lowest grade 9 record at $11.82 — which gives it a step of 31.2 times, the widest on this list. It holds 17.5 percent of the character, barely above an even share of six.

What the ranking shows

Mismagius is one artwork and seven finishes. Every card the character has in the language comes from Gem Pack Vol. 3, and the group runs #901 to #907 without a break.

Band	Cards	Combined PSA 10 value	Share of total
$40 and above — ranked 1	1	$40.00	17.5%
$36 to $40 — ranked 2 to 5	4	$153.99	67.4%
Under $36 — ranked 6	1	$34.50	15.1%
Every priced Mismagius card	6	$228.49	100%

Two further points run across the whole group.

The full-art print is the most valuable raw card and the least valuable graded one. The seventh print in the group, at #907, is listed as a full art. Its raw price of $7.22 is more than three times the next highest raw price in the catalogue, and its grade 9 record of $21.25 is the highest of the seven by more than eight dollars. At PSA 10 it is worth $34.50 — the least expensive card in this ranking, and the only one below $36. The step from raw to graded is 4.8 times, less than a fifth of the multiple on the card at number one. A high raw price does not survive grading proportionally on a print that raw buyers already chase; the premium a 10 adds is smaller precisely because the raw card is not cheap. It is the clearest example of that on any character we have ranked.

Six prints inside $5.50, and the order does not follow the raw card. Rank the six priced prints by raw price and you get #907, #906, #901, #904, #903, #905. Rank them by PSA 10 value and you get #905, #906, #901, #904, #903, #907 — the same list with the two ends swapped and the middle untouched. Inside a Gem Pack group nothing separates on scarcity, because every print is issued at the same rarity; what separates them is what a buyer will pay for the finish. The volume-by-volume guide sets out how those groups are built.

Where Mismagius is printed

Product	Set code	Mismagius cards	Priced
Gem Pack Vol. 3	CBB3C	7	6
Total		7	6

The counts are cards, not artworks. Gem Pack Vol. 3 gives Mismagius exactly one group, running #901 to #907 — the plain print, the Poké Ball foil, the stars foil, the rotary foil, the Master Ball foil, the stamped foil and a full art. Six of the seven carry a graded price; the Poké Ball foil at #902 is the one that does not, and it is also the only print in the group whose raw price has no grade 9 record beside it.

Mismagius is a fourth-generation Sinnoh Pokémon, so — unlike Charizard and Pikachu — she has no Collect 151 entry, since that set covers only the original 151 characters. One volume and one group is the whole of her Chinese-only catalogue.

If you want one card

• One card, no budget limit: the Master Ball foil from Gem Pack Vol. 3 at #905, at $40.00. It is the highest tracked Mismagius card in the language and the only one that reaches $40, and it carries the lowest raw price of the six priced prints.
• The highest raw card: the full art at #907, at $34.50 graded but $7.22 raw — the most expensive Mismagius card in the group before grading, and the least expensive after it.
• The lowest entry point: the stars foil at #903, at $36.99. It is the least expensive Mismagius card with a tracked value, and it sits only $3.01 below the top of the list.

Frequently asked questions

Which Mismagius card is the most valuable in Simplified Chinese?

The Master Ball foil from Gem Pack Vol. 3 — #905 — carries the highest tracked PSA 10 value of any Mismagius card in the Chinese-only numbered sets, at $40.00. It is the only Mismagius card that reaches $40, and the gap to the second card is 40 cents. Chinese promo printings sit outside that comparison, because their numbering is shared between the Chinese branches.

How many Mismagius cards are there in the Chinese-only sets?

Seven, and all seven are from one product: Gem Pack Vol. 3, running #901 to #907. Six of the seven carry a tracked PSA 10 value. The one that does not is the Poké Ball foil at #902, which has a raw price on record but no graded sale behind it.

Why are all the Mismagius prices so close?

Because the character has one product and one group, and a Gem Pack group is a single artwork issued in a fixed set of finishes at the same rarity. Nothing inside it is scarcer than anything else in it, so there is no mechanism to pull one print away from the rest. The result on Mismagius is $34.50 to $40.00 across the whole catalogue — a top-to-bottom ratio of 1.16 to 1, tighter than any other character ranking published here that carries six or more priced cards.

Is a PSA 10 worth the premium over a raw card?

It varies more than the flat graded prices suggest. The Master Ball foil at #905 is tracked at $1.28 raw against $40.00 graded, a multiple of 31.2. The full art at #907 is tracked at $7.22 raw against $34.50 graded, a multiple of 4.8. The graded prices differ by $5.50; the raw prices differ by more than a factor of five. Grading outcomes are never certain, and nothing here is a prediction about what any individual card will grade at.

How does Mismagius compare with the other characters ranked here?

Her $228.49 total is one of the smallest, and her catalogue is one of the narrowest — seven cards, one product, no shared prints and nothing outside a single Gem Pack volume. What makes her worth a page is the shape rather than the size: a full catalogue inside $5.50, and a full-art print that is the most expensive card raw and the least expensive one graded. For a wider view of the market rather than one character, the ten most popular Chinese-exclusive cards ranks across Pokémon, and the price ladder sorts the same catalogue into bands.

Other character rankings

Each character ranked here has its own page: Pikachu, Charizard, Gengar, Psyduck, Mew, Snorlax, Venusaur, Blastoise, Zapdos, Alakazam and Chansey, plus the nine forms of the Eevee family — Eevee, Umbreon, Sylveon, Espeon, Leafeon, Glaceon, Jolteon, Vaporeon and Flareon. Smaller catalogues in the same price band as this one include Floragato, Clefable, Magneton, Crocalor and Quaxwell.

Quick answer

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

Meltan has eleven cards in the Chinese-only sets and six of them carry a tracked PSA 10 value. All six come from Gem Pack Vol. 4, and two of the six are recorded at exactly the same figure on all three measures — $34.66 graded, $1.00 raw and $11.37 at grade 9. The print numbered between them costs $3.50 more.

That is the whole story of this group in one line. The six priced prints run #2402 to #2407, and the numbering does almost nothing to predict the price: the two least expensive cards are #2402 and #2404, and the one that sits between them at #2403 is three and a half dollars clear of both. What the group does follow is the top of the range, where a single print stands alone.

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 the set code CBB4C — Gem Pack Vol. 4. The trailing C 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. Eleven Meltan cards exist in these sets and six have a PSA 10 price on record. The five that do not are listed at the end of this page. A card with no graded record 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 Meltan 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

5. Meltan #2404 — Gem Pack Vol. 4 (CBB4C) — $34.66

Raw $1.00 · grade 9 $11.37

The fourth print of the group, and a raw multiple of 34.7 — the joint highest on this list. On all three recorded measures it is identical to the card ranked sixth: $34.66 graded, $1.00 raw, $11.37 at grade 9. Its grade 9 record is the lowest of the six priced cards, shared with the card below it, and the pair accounts for more than a quarter of the character between them.

4. Meltan #2403 — Gem Pack Vol. 4 (CBB4C) — $38.16

Raw $1.75 · grade 9 $12.39

The third print of the group, and the card that sits between the two identical prints in the numbering. It is $3.50 above the card ranked fifth and $3.50 above the card ranked sixth — the same distance going down in both directions, because those two cards are the same card by price. Raw copies are tracked at $1.75 against $38.16 graded, a multiple of 21.8.

3. Meltan #2406 — Gem Pack Vol. 4 (CBB4C) — $39.28

Raw $1.99 · grade 9 $12.72

The sixth print of the group. Raw copies are tracked at $1.99 and grade 9 at $12.72, a multiple of 19.7. It is $1.12 above the card ranked fourth and 86 cents below the card ranked second — a spread of $1.98 across three consecutive places, which is the compressed middle of this ranking.

2. Meltan #2405 — Gem Pack Vol. 4 (CBB4C) — $40.14

Raw $2.17 · grade 9 $12.98

The fifth print of the group, and the highest card that does not lead the list. Raw copies are tracked at $2.17 and grade 9 at $12.98, a multiple of 18.5. It is only 86 cents above the card ranked third, and $13.09 below the card at number one — the whole of this ranking’s top half turns on that difference.

1. Meltan #2407 — Gem Pack Vol. 4 (CBB4C) — $53.23

Raw $4.71 · grade 9 $16.83

The most valuable Meltan card in Simplified Chinese, the last print of the group, and the only one above $40. It is also the only card in the group with a raw price above three dollars, and its raw figure of $4.71 is more than twice the next highest. From raw to PSA 10 the step is 11.3 times, the narrowest on this list. It sits $13.09 above the card at number two — more than three times the gap between the second and third cards. It holds 22.2 percent of the character against an even share of 16.7 percent.

What the ranking shows

Meltan is one artwork and seven finishes, six of which carry a value.

Band	Cards	Combined PSA 10 value	Share of total
$50 and above — ranked 1	1	$53.23	22.2%
$38 to $50 — ranked 2 to 4	3	$117.58	49.0%
$34 to $38 — ranked 5 to 6	2	$69.32	28.8%
Every priced Meltan card	6	$240.13	100%

Two points run across the whole group.

Two prints are recorded at the same figure on all three measures, and there is a different print numbered between them. #2402 and #2404 are both recorded at $34.66 graded, $1.00 raw and $11.37 at grade 9, and they are the two least expensive cards in the ranking. Their numbers are not consecutive: #2403 sits between them, and #2403 costs $3.50 more than either of them. Across the characters tracked in these sets, only three produce a pair that agrees on all three prices with a further print numbered between the two — which makes Meltan’s group a neat test of what numbering does and does not tell you about price. It is worth being careful about what this does and does not mean. It is a record of two finishes that buyers treat as interchangeable, not a claim that any two copies of either card will sell for the same amount. Our grading guide covers why an individual result can land either side of a recorded average.

The number on the card is not what sets the price. Run the six priced prints by number and the prices go $34.66, $38.16, $34.66, $40.14, $39.28, $53.23 — no pattern at all through the first five. Run them by price and the numbering order is #2407, #2405, #2406, #2403, then the identical pair. Inside a Gem Pack group every print is issued at the same rarity, so there is no scarcity reason for one number to sit above another; what separates them is what buyers will pay for the finish, and on this group that is decided almost entirely by the top of the range. The volume-by-volume guide sets out how those groups are built.

Where Meltan is printed

Product	Set code	Meltan cards	Priced
Gem Pack Vol. 4	CBB4C	7	6
Blade Awakening	csv7C	3	0
CSM2aC	CSM2aC	1	0
Total		11	6

The counts are cards, not artworks. Gem Pack Vol. 4 gives Meltan one group running #2401 to #2407 — a plain print, a Poké Ball foil, a stars foil, a rotary foil, a Master Ball foil, a stamped foil and a full art. Six of the seven carry a graded price; the lowest-numbered print, #2401, is the one that does not. The other four Meltan cards in these sets are the three Blade Awakening printings of #149 and one card from CSM2aC, and none of them has a tracked value, so the whole of the character’s priced catalogue is the single Vol. 4 group.

Meltan is a Mythical Pokémon from the seventh generation, obtainable in the games through a special route rather than found in the wild, so — unlike Charizard and Pikachu — he has no Collect 151 entry. One Gem Pack group and four unpriced cards from two other products are the whole of his Chinese-only catalogue.

If you want one card

• One card, no budget limit: the last print from Gem Pack Vol. 4 at #2407, at $53.23. It is the highest tracked Meltan card in the language, the only one above $40, and the only card in the group with a raw price above three dollars.
• The card the raw market rates highest for its money: the print at #2404, at $34.66 graded and $1.00 raw — the widest step in the group at 34.7 times. It is priced identically to #2402.
• The two that are priced as one: #2404 and #2402, both at $34.66. They are the least expensive Meltan cards with a tracked value, and they sit $18.57 below the top of the list.

Frequently asked questions

Which Meltan card is the most valuable in Simplified Chinese?

The last print of the Gem Pack Vol. 4 group — #2407 — carries the highest tracked PSA 10 value of any Meltan card in the Chinese-only numbered sets, at $53.23. It is $13.09 above the second card, the only Meltan card above $40, and the only one in the group with a raw price above three dollars. Chinese promo printings sit outside that comparison, because their numbering is shared between the Chinese branches.

How many Meltan cards are there in the Chinese-only sets?

Eleven, across three products: seven from Gem Pack Vol. 4, three from Blade Awakening and one from CSM2aC. Six of the eleven carry a tracked PSA 10 value. The five that do not are the lowest-numbered print of the Vol. 4 group at #2401, the three Blade Awakening printings of #149, and one card from CSM2aC.

Why are #2402 and #2404 priced exactly the same?

Because both are prints from the same Gem Pack group, where the finishes are issued at the same rarity and there is nothing inside the group to separate one from another on scarcity. #2402 and #2404 are both recorded at $34.66 graded, $1.00 raw and $11.37 at grade 9. Note that #2403, which is numbered between them, is recorded at $38.16 — $3.50 higher. Recorded prices are secondary-market observations at a point in time, not fixed tags; two prints can agree on one day and drift apart later.

Is a PSA 10 worth the premium over a raw card?

Across this group the step widens as the raw price falls. The top card at #2407 is tracked at $4.71 raw against $53.23 graded, a multiple of 11.3 — the smallest step in the list, because a raw copy already carries a real price. The identical pair at $34.66 is tracked at $1.00 raw, a multiple of 34.7. The graded values differ by $18.57; the raw values differ by under four dollars. A printed figure is an observation, not a forecast, and grading outcomes are never certain.

How does Meltan compare with the other characters ranked here?

His $240.13 total is one of the smallest, and the group behind it is a single complete run of seven numbers from one volume, six of them priced. What makes him worth a page is the pair inside it: two prints recorded at the same figure on every measure, with a third print numbered between them that costs $3.50 more. For a wider view of the market rather than one character, the ten most popular Chinese-exclusive cards ranks across Pokémon, and the price ladder sorts the same catalogue into bands.

Other character rankings

Each character ranked here has its own page: Pikachu, Charizard, Gengar, Psyduck, Mew, Snorlax, Venusaur, Blastoise, Zapdos, Alakazam and Chansey, plus the nine forms of the Eevee family — Eevee, Umbreon, Sylveon, Espeon, Leafeon, Glaceon, Jolteon, Vaporeon and Flareon. Smaller catalogues in the same price band as this one include Floragato, Clefable, Magneton, Crocalor and Quaxwell.

Quick answer

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

Lechonk has nine cards in the Chinese-only sets and seven of them carry a tracked PSA 10 value. Together they add to $279.34, from $50.00 at the top down to $36.78 — a top-to-bottom ratio of 1.36 to 1. The prices are not what makes this list unusual. The grade 9 column is.

On six of the seven cards here, a grade 9 copy is tracked at between 33.0 and 34.2 percent of the PSA 10 value. On the seventh — #137 from Dark Crystal Blaze — it is tracked at $36.00 against $50.00, or 72.0 percent. A grade 9 copy of that one card is worth 78 cents less than a PSA 10 copy of the card at the bottom of this ranking. It is the single sharpest split between the top two grades anywhere in the character’s catalogue.

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 for Gem Pack Vol. 1, csv5C for Dark Crystal Blaze. The trailing C 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. Nine Lechonk cards exist in these sets and seven have a PSA 10 price on record. The two that do not are listed at the end of this page. A card with no graded record 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 Lechonk 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

5. Lechonk #1601 — Gem Pack Vol. 1 (CBB1C) — $37.10

Raw $1.69 · grade 9 $12.59

The plain print of the group. Raw copies are tracked at $1.69 against $37.10 graded, a multiple of 22.0. Its grade 9 record of $12.59 is the second lowest of the seven priced cards, and its grade 9 share of 33.9 percent is almost exactly the group’s norm. It sits 8 cents above the card ranked sixth — the narrowest gap in this ranking — and $1.32 below the card ranked fourth.

4. Lechonk [Stars] #1603 — Gem Pack Vol. 1 (CBB1C) — $38.42

Raw $2.00 · grade 9 $13.06

The stars foil, and the third print of the run. Raw copies are tracked at $2.00 and grade 9 at $13.06, a multiple of 19.2. Its grade 9 record is the second highest of the six cards that are not #137. It sits 46 cents below the card ranked third and $1.32 above the card ranked fifth.

3. Lechonk #110 — Dark Crystal Blaze (csv5C) — $38.88

Raw $1.99 · grade 9 $12.84

The lower-numbered of the two Dark Crystal Blaze Lechonk cards, and the third most valuable Lechonk card in the language. Its multiple from raw to graded is 19.5, and its grade 9 share is 33.0 percent — the lowest of the seven priced cards. It sits $2.26 below the card ranked second and 46 cents above the card ranked fourth.

2. Lechonk [Stamped] #1605 — Gem Pack Vol. 1 (CBB1C) — $41.14

Raw $2.96 · grade 9 $14.07

The stamped foil, and the highest of the five Gem Pack prints. Its raw price of $2.96 is the second highest of the seven priced cards and its grade 9 record of $14.07 is the highest of the six cards that are not #137, which puts its grade 9 share at 34.2 percent — the widest of the six. It sits $8.86 below the card at number one and $2.26 above the card ranked third.

1. Lechonk #137 — Dark Crystal Blaze (csv5C) — $50.00

Raw $3.50 · grade 9 $36.00

The most valuable Lechonk card in Simplified Chinese, and the only one at $50. Its grade 9 record of $36.00 is more than two and a half times the next grade 9 figure in the list, and it is 78 cents below the lowest PSA 10 value here. Raw copies are tracked at $3.50, the highest in the group. From raw to PSA 10 the step is 14.3 times, the narrowest on this list. It holds 17.9 percent of the character against an even share of 14.3 percent.

What the ranking shows

Lechonk is nine cards across two Chinese-only products, and seven of them carry a value.

Band	Cards	Combined PSA 10 value	Share of total
$50 and above — ranked 1	1	$50.00	17.9%
$38 to $42 — ranked 2 to 4	3	$118.44	42.4%
$36 to $38 — ranked 5 to 7	3	$110.90	39.7%
Every priced Lechonk card	7	$279.34	100%

Two points run across the whole group.

One card breaks the grade 9 column away from the rest, and the other six sit in a band barely a point wide. The five Gem Pack prints and the two Dark Crystal Blaze cards are priced within 1.2 points of each other on grade 9 — 33.0, 33.9, 33.9, 33.9, 34.0 and 34.2 percent — while #137 sits at 72.0 percent. A gap that size between one card and its own group is a difference in how the middle grade is bought, not in how much the card is worth at the top. Looking across the characters in these sets with six or more tracked PSA 10 values, seven show the same shape: one card whose grade 9 value is above sixty percent of its PSA 10 figure while every other priced card stays below forty percent. Lechonk’s peak is the third highest of those seven. Our grading guide covers why a single result can land either side of a recorded average.

The row of multiples runs backwards at the top and forwards at the bottom. From raw to PSA 10 the steps are 14.3, 13.9, 19.5, 19.2, 22.0, 22.2 and 22.7 down the list. #137 and #1605 are both cheap on the multiple because they are the two most expensive raw cards here — $3.50 and $2.96 against $1.62 to $2.00 for everything else — so there is less room left for grading to move them. From fourth place down the multiple climbs at every position. What the two ends of that column describe is a top of the list that raw buyers already chase and a bottom of the list that only graded buyers do. The volume-by-volume guide sets out how the Gem Pack groups are built.

Where Lechonk is printed

Product	Set code	Lechonk cards	Priced
Gem Pack Vol. 1	CBB1C	5	5
Dark Crystal Blaze	csv5C	4	2
Total		9	7

The counts are cards, not artworks. Gem Pack Vol. 1 gives Lechonk one group running #1601 to #1605 — five finishes, and every one of them carries a tracked value. Dark Crystal Blaze contributes the other four as two cards rather than as a run of finishes: #110 and #137. Only #110 has extra foils in that set, a Poké Ball and a Master Ball printing, and those two printings are the only Lechonk cards in these sets with no tracked value — which is why the Dark Crystal Blaze column shows four cards and two prices.

Lechonk is a ninth-generation Paldea Pokémon, so — unlike Charizard and Pikachu — it has no Collect 151 entry, since that set covers only the original 151 characters. One Gem Pack group and two Dark Crystal Blaze cards, plus the two unvalued foils of #110, are the whole of its Chinese-only catalogue.

If you want one card

• One card, no budget limit: #137 from Dark Crystal Blaze, at $50.00. It is the highest tracked Lechonk card in the language, the only one at $50, and the highest raw price and the highest grade 9 record in the group.
• The card with the narrowest step from raw to PSA 10: the stamped foil at #1605, at $41.14 graded and $2.96 raw — a multiple of 13.9, the lowest on this list.
• The middle of the priced list: #110 from Dark Crystal Blaze, at $38.88. It sits $2.26 below the card ranked second and 46 cents above the card ranked fourth, which puts it almost exactly halfway between the top of the group and the run of Gem Pack prints.

Frequently asked questions

Which Lechonk card is the most valuable in Simplified Chinese?

#137 from Dark Crystal Blaze carries the highest tracked PSA 10 value of any Lechonk card in the Chinese-only numbered sets, at $50.00. It is $8.86 above the second card, the only Lechonk card at $50, and the highest on raw copies at $3.50 as well as on grade 9 at $36.00. Chinese promo printings sit outside that comparison, because their numbering is shared between the Chinese branches.

How many Lechonk cards are there in the Chinese-only sets?

Nine, across two products: five from Gem Pack Vol. 1 and four from Dark Crystal Blaze. Seven of the nine carry a tracked PSA 10 value. The two that do not are the Poké Ball and Master Ball printings of the Dark Crystal Blaze card at #110.

What is unusual about the grade 9 value of #137?

It is the only grade 9 figure in the character’s catalogue that comes anywhere near the top grade. #137 is tracked at $36.00 in grade 9 against $50.00 in PSA 10 — 72.0 percent. The other six priced Lechonk cards are tracked between 33.0 and 34.2 percent, a band barely more than a percentage point wide, and the next highest grade 9 figure in the list is $14.07. A recorded figure is an observation at a date, not a forecast, and grading outcomes are never certain.

Is a PSA 10 worth the premium over a raw card?

The multiple falls at the top of this list and rises at the bottom. #137 is tracked at $3.50 raw against $50.00 graded, a multiple of 14.3, and the stamped foil at #1605 is tracked at $2.96 raw against $41.14 graded, a multiple of 13.9. From there the sequence runs 19.5, 19.2, 22.0, 22.2 and 22.7 down to the card at the bottom. The graded prices differ by $13.22; the raw prices differ by $1.88.

How does Lechonk compare with the other characters ranked here?

His seven prints span $36.78 to $50.00, a top-to-bottom ratio of 1.36 to 1, with six of the seven sitting inside $4.36 of one another. The shape that sets the list apart is in the grade 9 column rather than the prices: one card at 72.0 percent of its PSA 10 figure against six between 33.0 and 34.2 percent. For a wider view of the market rather than one character, the ten most popular Chinese-exclusive cards ranks across Pokémon, and the price ladder sorts the same catalogue into bands.

Other character rankings

Each character ranked here has its own page: Pikachu, Charizard, Gengar, Psyduck, Mew, Snorlax, Venusaur, Blastoise, Zapdos, Alakazam and Chansey, plus the nine forms of the Eevee family — Eevee, Umbreon, Sylveon, Espeon, Leafeon, Glaceon, Jolteon, Vaporeon and Flareon. Smaller catalogues in the same price band as this one include Floragato, Clefable, Magneton, Crocalor and Quaxwell.

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 five, 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.

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.

Quick answer

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

Joltik has fourteen cards in the Chinese-only sets. Eight of them carry a tracked PSA 10 value and they add to $326.38 — and seven of those eight sit above $34. The eighth sits at $17.00, less than half the card above it, even though its raw price is the second highest in the whole group.

The split at the top is wide for a character this small. The card at number one holds 21.8 percent of the character against an even share of 12.5 percent, and the step from its raw price to its graded value is 35.7 times. The card at the bottom of the list returns 6.1 times. Nothing about the artwork explains the gap; the two cards come from different volumes, and the volume does most of the talking.

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 that ends in C — CBB5C for Gem Pack Vol. 5 and csv5C for Dark Crystal Blaze. The trailing C 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. Fourteen Joltik cards exist in these sets and eight have a PSA 10 price on record. The six that do not are listed at the end of this page. A card with no graded record 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 Joltik 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

5. Joltik #1504 — Gem Pack Vol. 5 (CBB5C) — $37.93

Raw $1.66 · grade 9 $12.22

The fifth of the seven Joltik prints in Gem Pack Vol. 5, and the fifth most valuable card overall. Raw copies are tracked at $1.66 against $37.93 graded, a multiple of 22.8. Its grade 9 record of $12.22 is the second lowest of the eight priced cards, and it sits $1.01 above the card ranked sixth.

4. Joltik #1503 — Gem Pack Vol. 5 (CBB5C) — $39.51

Raw $1.99 · grade 9 $12.65

The third print of the group. Its raw price of $1.99 matches the card at number one exactly, and the multiple from raw to PSA 10 is 19.9 — less than three fifths of the 35.7 the number one card returns on the same raw figure. Its grade 9 record of $12.65 is the fourth highest in the group.

3. Joltik #1506 — Gem Pack Vol. 5 (CBB5C) — $41.33

Raw $2.16 · grade 9 $13.16

The sixth print of the group, and the third most valuable. Raw copies are tracked at $2.16 and grade 9 at $13.16, a multiple of 19.1. It is $6.87 below the card at number two and $1.82 above the card at number four, which makes the middle of this ranking much tighter than its top.

2. Joltik #1507 — Gem Pack Vol. 5 (CBB5C) — $48.20

Raw $3.91 · grade 9 $15.08

The seventh and last print of the Vol. 5 group, and the only Joltik card in these sets with a raw price above three dollars. Its raw figure of $3.91 is the highest of the eight priced cards and nearly twice the raw price of the card at number one. From raw to PSA 10 the step is 12.3 times, the second narrowest on this list — a raw price that is already high leaves less room for grading to multiply it.

1. Joltik #1501 — Gem Pack Vol. 5 (CBB5C) — $71.07

Raw $1.99 · grade 9 $21.45

The most valuable Joltik card in Simplified Chinese, and the first print of the Vol. 5 group. It is $22.87 above the card at number two — more than three times the gap between the second card and the third. It also carries the highest grade 9 record on this list, at $21.45, and the widest step from raw to graded, at 35.7 times. It holds 21.8 percent of the character against an even share of 12.5 percent.

What the ranking shows

Joltik is one of the few characters here whose priced cards do not all come from a single volume. Six of the eight come from Gem Pack Vol. 5, and the other two come from Dark Crystal Blaze.

Band	Cards	Combined PSA 10 value	Share of total
$70 and above — ranked 1	1	$71.07	21.8%
$34 to $70 — ranked 2 to 7	6	$238.31	73.0%
Under $34 — ranked 8	1	$17.00	5.2%
Every priced Joltik card	8	$326.38	100%

Two points run across the whole group.

One card from the second volume lands inside the first volume’s band; the other lands a group below it. The Poké Ball foil at #44, from Dark Crystal Blaze, is tracked at $34.42 — below every Vol. 5 print but close enough to be read as part of the same shelf. The other Dark Crystal Blaze card with a value, at #132, is tracked at $17.00. That is $17.42 under the Poké Ball foil from its own volume, and less than half the price of the least expensive Vol. 5 print. Two cards, one volume, and the gap between them is wider than the gap between the first and seventh cards of this ranking.

The second most expensive raw card is the least valuable graded one. Rank the eight priced cards by raw price and #132 comes second, at $2.79, behind only the stamped print at #1507. Rank them by PSA 10 value and #132 is last, at $17.00 — $17.42 below the card above it. The step from raw to graded on that card is 6.1 times, the narrowest in the group; on the card at number one it is 35.7 times. A raw price near the top of a group while the graded value sits at the bottom is a mismatch between two markets rather than a signal about the card itself. Inside a single Gem Pack volume, by contrast, nothing separates on scarcity at all: every print is issued at the same rarity, so the order is set by what a buyer will pay for the finish. The volume-by-volume guide sets out how those groups are built.

Where Joltik is printed

Product	Set code	Joltik cards	Priced
Gem Pack Vol. 5	CBB5C	7	6
Dark Crystal Blaze	csv5C	4	2
CSM2aC	CSM2aC	1	0
Chasing Glory Together	csv10C	1	0
Brilliant Fantasy	csv8C	1	0
Total		14	8

The counts are cards, not artworks. Gem Pack Vol. 5 gives Joltik one group running #1501 to #1507, and six of the seven carry a graded price; the print at #1502 is the one that does not. Dark Crystal Blaze contributes four cards: three printings of #44 — a plain print, a Poké Ball foil and a Master Ball foil — plus the print at #132. Only the Poké Ball foil and #132 have values on record, and they are the two cards that give this ranking its shape.

Joltik is a fifth-generation Unova Pokémon, so — unlike Charizard and Pikachu — he has no Collect 151 entry, since that set covers only the original 151 characters. Two volumes and three single-card sets are the whole of his Chinese-only catalogue.

If you want one card

• One card, no budget limit: the first print from Gem Pack Vol. 5 at #1501, at $71.07. It is the highest tracked Joltik card in the language, the widest step in the group at 35.7 times, and $22.87 clear of the card below it.
• The card the raw market rates highest: the stamped foil from Gem Pack Vol. 5 at #1507, at $48.20 graded but $3.91 raw — the most expensive Joltik card before grading, and the second most expensive after it.
• The lowest entry point: the Poké Ball foil from Dark Crystal Blaze at #44, at $34.42. It is the least expensive Joltik card in the $34-and-above band, and it sits under the whole Vol. 5 group.

Frequently asked questions

Which Joltik card is the most valuable in Simplified Chinese?

The first print from Gem Pack Vol. 5 — #1501 — carries the highest tracked PSA 10 value of any Joltik card in the Chinese-only numbered sets, at $71.07. It is $22.87 above the second card, and the only Joltik card above $50. Chinese promo printings sit outside that comparison, because their numbering is shared between the Chinese branches.

How many Joltik cards are there in the Chinese-only sets?

Fourteen, across five products: seven from Gem Pack Vol. 5, four from Dark Crystal Blaze, and one each from CSM2aC, Chasing Glory Together and Brilliant Fantasy. Eight of the fourteen carry a tracked PSA 10 value. The six that do not are the print at #1502 from Vol. 5, two cards from Dark Crystal Blaze — the plain print at #44 and the Master Ball foil at #44 — and one card each from CSM2aC, Chasing Glory Together and Brilliant Fantasy.

Why is one Joltik card worth less than half the rest?

Because it comes from a different volume and its raw price is unusually high for where it sits. The print at #132, from Dark Crystal Blaze, is tracked at $2.79 raw — the second highest raw price of the eight priced Joltik cards — but grades into a PSA 10 value of $17.00, the lowest on the list and the only one under $34. The step from raw to graded on it is 6.1 times, against 35.7 times on the card at number one. The raw price is high relative to its graded value, not the other way round. Nothing here is a prediction about what grading another copy would return.

Is a PSA 10 worth the premium over a raw card?

It depends on which card and which volume. On the Vol. 5 prints the step from raw to graded runs from 12.3 to 35.7 times, because raw copies are tracked between 99 cents and $3.91. The card at #132 inverts that: a raw price of $2.79, near the top of the group, against a graded value at the bottom of it. A printed figure is an observation, not a forecast, and grading outcomes are never certain.

How does Joltik compare with the other characters ranked here?

His $326.38 total is in the middle of the pack, but the catalogue behind it is unusual for a character this size: eight priced cards drawn from two volumes, with a twenty-four dollar gap between the seventh and eighth of them. What makes him worth a page is that split — a card whose raw price is nearly the highest in the group and whose graded value is the lowest. For a wider view of the market rather than one character, the ten most popular Chinese-exclusive cards ranks across Pokémon, and the price ladder sorts the same catalogue into bands.

Other character rankings

Each character ranked here has its own page: Pikachu, Charizard, Gengar, Psyduck, Mew, Snorlax, Venusaur, Blastoise, Zapdos, Alakazam and Chansey, plus the nine forms of the Eevee family — Eevee, Umbreon, Sylveon, Espeon, Leafeon, Glaceon, Jolteon, Vaporeon and Flareon. Smaller catalogues in the same price band as this one include Floragato, Clefable, Magneton, Crocalor and Quaxwell.

Quick answer

CardSpicy works the grading decision from the fee and the recorded sale prices rather than from the grade alone, because the fee is the same whether the card comes back a 10 or a 7.

Grading turns a loose card into a certified object. It also costs the same whether the verdict comes back a 10 or a 7 — and that asymmetry is the entire decision. This page works through what the fee actually buys, where the extra value would have to come from, and the cases where the arithmetic plainly does not work.

The question gets asked as though it has one answer, usually with a specific card in mind that the asker already suspects is not the case. It does not have one answer. It has a formula, and the formula is the same for a $12 common and a $900 alt-art: a fixed cost goes out, an uncertain price comes back, and the only thing you control is whether the gap between them is wide enough to be worth the wait.

What follows is written from the position of a shop that sells only PSA 10 cards, which means we buy graded, not raw. That gives us a specific and slightly unusual view of this question: we are the party that pays for someone else’s grading decision after the fact. If you want the mechanics of grading itself — the scale, the sub-grades, how to read a label — that is the grading guide. This page is only about whether to spend the money.

The short answer

Grading is worth the fee when the card has a real, existing price gap between its raw state and its graded state, and when the raw copy is clean enough that the gap is plausibly reachable. Grading is not worth the fee when the card is abundant and cheap, when the copy already shows visible wear, or when you are not planning to sell and do not value the certification for its own sake.

Notice what is not in that answer: how much you like the card, and how much the fee costs relative to your budget. Those matter to you, but they do not change the arithmetic. The number that decides it is the spread between what the card sells for raw and what it sells for graded — and that spread is not the same for every card, which is why a flat “grading is worth it” rule is wrong in both directions.

What the fee actually buys

Grading is not one price. It is a ladder, and where you land on it is set mostly by one number: the declared value of the card you are submitting. Higher declared value means a higher tier, a higher fee, and a shorter queue. Declare lower than the card is worth to save money and you are also lowering the amount you are insured for if the package is lost.

The published US tiers for new submissions in 2026 run roughly as follows. Treat this as a shape, not a quote: fees and turnaround commitments change, and the only current figure is the one on the grader’s own site the day you submit.

Service level	Fee per card	Declared value ceiling	Stated turnaround
Value Bulk	$24.99	about $499	95–120 business days
Value	$32.99	about $499	45 business days
Regular	$74.99	about $1,499	20–30 business days
Express	$149	about $2,500	10 business days
Super Express	$299	about $5,000	5 business days

Three additions sit on top of the headline fee, and they are the ones people forget when they divide the fee by the card. The entry tier requires an annual membership, which only pays for itself if you are submitting in volume. Return shipping and insurance are charged separately and scale with the declared value. And the card has to get there: a sleeve, a semi-rigid holder, a rigid outer box and a tracked carrier, all before the grader sees anything.

The turnaround figure is also worth reading carefully. The stated window usually starts when the submission enters grading, not when you post it, and the door-to-door time is longer than the published number on every tier. If you are grading toward a specific sale date, build in more buffer than the ladder suggests rather than paying for a faster tier at the last minute. The label itself — what the number and the four-letter descriptors mean — is explained in the grading guide, and what to do when the slab lands is its own short procedure: check it in the first five minutes, because the cases where something is wrong are exactly the cases with a deadline.

Where the value would have to come from

For the fee to be worth paying, the graded card has to sell for more than the raw card plus the all-in cost of grading. That premium is not magic. It comes from three places, and only one of them is about the card being nicer to own.

Source of the premium	What it means in practice	Does it apply to your card?
Certification	A third party has verified the card is genuine, unaltered and in the stated condition. Buyers who cannot inspect in person pay for that assurance.	Yes, on any card sold remotely — which is every card sold online.
Condition certainty	The buyer is not gambling on what arrives in the envelope. A graded card removes the “is it as clean as the photos?” discount.	Only where the raw copy is genuinely clean. A worn card grades low and the discount returns.
Scarcity at that grade	If very few copies exist at the top grade, competition for those copies pushes the price up.	Depends entirely on how many exist. This is the number a population report measures.

The third row is the one that separates two cards that look identical in a photo. Two copies of the same card can both be PSA 10 and sell for very different money, because the premium tracks how many others are already at that grade. A card with a large graded population has a small top-grade premium however beautiful the copy is; a card with a tiny one can hold a premium far above anything the raw market suggested. That is why the population report matters more than the grade itself when you are estimating value, and it is why “graded sells for more” is true on average and useless in a specific case.

The decision, as arithmetic

Stripped of everything else, the question reduces to a comparison of two numbers you can look up and one you cannot know in advance. The two you can look up: the all-in cost of grading, and the current selling price of the graded card. The one you cannot know: what grade your specific copy will receive.

That last unknown is what turns a simple subtraction into a judgement, and it is why the honest version of this article cannot end with a number. What it can do is set out which conditions make the judgement easy and which make it hard.

A worked shape, using round numbers rather than any specific card. Suppose a raw copy sells for $120 and a graded top-grade copy sells for $300. The all-in cost of grading that card, at a middle tier with shipping, is comfortably under $100. The gap is wide enough that the decision survives a bad outcome — if the card grades one step below the top, you are still roughly level rather than down. Now suppose the raw copy sells for $25 and the graded top-grade copy sells for $45. The all-in cost exceeds the entire upside, and the decision only works if nearly every card in a batch comes back at the top. The fee is the same in both examples. The answer is not.

Two practical consequences follow. First, grade in batches, not one card at a time, because the fixed costs of shipping and membership are shared across the submission. Second, decide before you submit what you will do with a card that comes back below the grade you wanted, because the market for a mid-grade copy of a common card is thin and the fee is already spent.

Where the math fails

Five situations where the arithmetic, run honestly, comes out against submitting.

Abundant modern cards with a low raw price. If the card sells raw for less than the all-in cost of grading, the top-grade copy has to command a multiple of the raw price to break even, and on a card printed in the millions that multiple usually is not there. Quantity is not scarcity.

Copies with visible flaws. A crease, a soft corner, whitening along an edge or a surface scratch is visible in a photograph and permanent. Those are the defects that cannot be undone, and they cap the grade no matter what the rest of the card looks like. Submitting a card with a bent corner is paying to have the flaw certified.

Cards whose realistic outcome is a middle grade. If the copy is likely to land at a 9 or a 7, the fee buys a slab that trades close to the raw price. The certification is real, but the premium that justified the fee is not.

Cards you are keeping. Grading is a market instrument before it is a storage instrument. If the card is not going to be sold, the fee buys protection and a number, which may be worth it — but that is a different question, and it should be answered as a storage question. A card in a good slab case or a binder built for slabs is protected without ever being graded.

Quantities of the same card. Grading forty copies of one card produces forty slabs competing with each other for the same buyers, and the price of each falls as the supply you created grows. Submitting the same card repeatedly is the most direct way to destroy the premium you were trying to capture.

What changes for Simplified Chinese cards

Grading is language-neutral in mechanism and not in economics. A certified card carries the same assurance whether the printing is English, Japanese or Simplified Chinese, but the scarcity half of the premium depends on how many copies exist at that grade in that language — and the Simplified Chinese print runs are a fraction of the English and Japanese ones.

The practical effect is that the top-grade population for a Simplified Chinese card is usually thinner than for the same Pokémon in another language, which tends to support a larger structural premium. It also means the graded copy is easier to sell across borders: a buyer who cannot read the card can still read the label, and the certificate number is verifiable regardless of language. That is a large part of why this shop deals in graded Simplified Chinese cards at all — the reasoning is set out in full in why these cards are worth collecting and, for the language comparison specifically, in Chinese versus Japanese cards.

None of that makes a specific Simplified Chinese card worth grading. It changes the base rate, not the individual case.

What we promise, and what we do not

We sell graded cards, so it is worth being plain about where our interest lies. We benefit when grading is trusted and when graded cards hold value. We do not benefit from you grading badly, and a customer who submits a batch, gets mediocre grades and concludes the whole hobby is a trap does not come back.

So, stated directly: we do not predict grades. We do not tell you a card will come back a 10, because no honest party can — the grade is decided by an inspector looking at the physical card, and the same card can genuinely be argued either way at the margins. We do not quote a return you can rely on, and we do not claim grading is a good investment in general. It is a cost you pay for a certification and a market, and whether that cost is worth it depends on the card in your hand.

What we will do is describe a card accurately enough that you can judge it yourself. Every graded listing here states the grade, the cert number and the language of the printing, and we would rather answer a question before you buy than process a return after. Our policy of selling only PSA 10 is part of the same position: one grade, stated plainly, with no half-grades and no qualifiers to interpret.

Frequently asked questions

Is it worth grading a card worth $20?

Almost never, on the numbers alone. At that raw price the all-in cost of grading is comparable to the card itself, so the top-grade copy would have to sell for a multiple of the raw price just to break even. Cards at that price are usually printed in quantity, and quantity is what keeps the top-grade premium small. The exception is a card you plan to keep and want certified for its own sake, which is a storage decision rather than a value one.

Does grading always increase a card’s value?

No. Grading adds a certification and a market, and on many cards the added cost exceeds any price difference the grade creates. A card that grades in the middle of the scale often sells close to its raw price, which means the fee was spent without a matching premium. Grading reliably adds value only where a certified copy already sells for meaningfully more than a raw one.

How long does PSA actually take?

Longer than the stated turnaround, on every tier. The published window typically begins when a submission enters grading rather than when you post it, and transit, logging and quality assurance sit outside it. The entry tiers run into months, not weeks. If the timing matters because you are grading toward a sale, plan around the slower figure rather than the faster one.

Should I grade a card I am keeping, not selling?

That is a different question, and it deserves a different answer. If you are not selling, the premium that justifies the fee does not apply, so the case has to rest on protection and on wanting the card certified. Both are legitimate reasons. They should just be weighed as storage decisions, because a good rigid case or a slab-sized binder protects a card without the waiting or the fee.

Can I grade a Simplified Chinese card?

Yes. The major graders accept Simplified Chinese printings, and the certificate works exactly as it does for any other language. What differs is the economics: the top-grade population for a Simplified Chinese card is typically thinner than for the same card in English or Japanese, which tends to support a larger premium. That is a general tendency about the market, not a statement about any particular card.

Infernape’s entire priced catalogue is one Gem Pack group. Ten cards exist in the Chinese-only sets; the seven that carry a tracked PSA 10 value are all the treatments of a single group inside Gem Pack Vol. 4, running #901 to #907. Six of them sit within seven dollars of each other, and the seventh is $140.

That is what separates this list from the ones around it. Most characters here draw their ranked cards from three or four products, so the list mixes a Gem Pack group with a tag-team line and a scattered print or two. Infernape has no such spread. Its list is one product, one group of seven treatments, and a single card at the top that is worth three times the next one.

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 — CBB4C, with three unpriced prints from csv7C. 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. Ten Infernape cards exist in these sets and seven have a PSA 10 price on record. The three that do not are all the same card number — Infernape #42 from Blade Awakening, in its plain, Master Ball and Poké Ball printings. 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 Infernape 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

5. Infernape #901 — Gem Pack Vol. 4 (CBB4C) — $38.58

Raw $1.84 · grade 9 $12.51

The first of the group by card number and the last card in this top five. Raw copies are tracked at $1.84 against a grade 9 record of $12.51, so the step from raw to PSA 10 is 21.0 times. It finishes thirteen cents below the card above it and eighty-nine cents above the last card in the group.

4. Infernape #905 — Gem Pack Vol. 4 (CBB4C) — $38.71

Raw $1.99 · grade 9 $12.56

The fifth card of the group, and one of three in this top five priced within twenty-six cents of each other. Raw copies sit at $1.99 — the second highest raw price of the six ordinary treatments — and the multiple to PSA 10 is 19.5, the second lowest of the six. It holds 10.3 percent of the character.

3. Infernape #904 — Gem Pack Vol. 4 (CBB4C) — $38.84

Raw $1.90 · grade 9 $12.60

The third card of the group by number, and the highest of the ordinary treatments after #906. Its raw price of $1.90 is mid-table for the group, and its grade 9 record of $12.60 is the second highest of the six. It finishes thirteen cents above the card below it.

2. Infernape #906 — Gem Pack Vol. 4 (CBB4C) — $43.73

Raw $2.95 · grade 9 $14.04

The highest card in the group apart from the seventh print, and the only treatment here above $40. Raw copies are tracked at $2.95 — the highest raw price of any Infernape card except the one at number one — and grade 9 at $14.04. The step to PSA 10 is 14.8 times, the narrowest multiple on the list, because the raw price already carries a visible share of the value. It holds 11.6 percent of the character.

1. Infernape #907 — Gem Pack Vol. 4 (CBB4C) — $140

Raw $5.75 · grade 9 $17.87

The most valuable Infernape card in Simplified Chinese, and the only one above $100. It is the seventh and final print of the Vol. 4 group, and it is worth 3.2 times the card below it. Raw copies are tracked at $5.75, nearly double the most expensive ordinary treatment in the same group, so part of the gap exists before grading as well. It holds 37.2 percent of the character on its own, and the step from raw to PSA 10 is 24.3 times.

What the ranking shows

Infernape is the clearest example on this site of what a Gem Pack group looks like when nothing else is attached to it. Seven cards, six of them ordinary treatments within seven dollars of each other, and a seventh print that stands well clear at the top.

Band	Cards	Combined PSA 10 value	Share of total
$100 – $250 — ranked 1	1	$140	37.2%
Under $100 — ranked 2 to 7	6	$236	62.8%
Every priced Infernape card	7	$376	100%

Two further points run across the whole group.

The six ordinary treatments are one card priced six ways. They run from $37.69 to $43.73, and three of them — #904, #905 and #901 — sit within twenty-six cents of each other. Their raw prices are between $1.65 and $2.95 and their grade 9 records between $12.26 and $14.04. This is what a Gem Pack group is by construction: one artwork reprinted six ways — a plain print and five foil or patterned treatments, all issued at the same rarity — with a seventh print closing the run. In Vol. 4 that seventh print is the most valuable card of its group in 27 of the 28 groups the volume contains, and Infernape is one of them. The volume-by-volume guide sets out how those groups are built.

The seventh print separates on the raw price, not only on the grade. At $5.75 it is nearly twice the most expensive ordinary treatment in the group, so the gap between #907 at $140 and #906 at $43.73 is not a grading effect. The card is scarce as a raw printing and the market prices it that way both before and after grading.

Where Infernape is printed

Product	Set code	Infernape cards	Priced
Gem Pack Vol. 4	CBB4C	7	7
Blade Awakening	csv7C	3	0
Total		10	7

The counts are cards, not artworks. Gem Pack Vol. 4 gives Infernape one full group, running #901 to #907 — six ordinary treatments plus the seventh print at the top. Blade Awakening prints the same card number three times at #42, and none of the three carries a price. There is no third product, and no tag-team line.

Infernape is a fourth-generation Pokémon, so — unlike Charizard and Pikachu — he has no Collect 151 entry, since that set covers only the original 151 characters. He has no tag-team printing either, which is why a character with ten cards still produces a list that is a single product from top to bottom.

If you want one card

• One card, no budget limit: the seventh print from Gem Pack Vol. 4 at #907, at $140. It is the highest tracked Infernape card in the language by a factor of 3.2, and its raw price of $5.75 is nearly double the next card in its own group.
• The card that grades up most: the same #907, at 24.3 times its raw price. It is also the card with the highest raw price in the group, so the multiple comes from a high graded value rather than from a low raw one.
• The lowest entry point: the group print at #902, at $37.69. It is the last Infernape card in the ranking, and all seven priced cards fall inside a band of $102 in total, most of it accounted for by the single card at the top.

Frequently asked questions

Which Infernape card is the most valuable in Simplified Chinese?

The seventh print from Gem Pack Vol. 4 — #907 — carries the highest tracked PSA 10 value of any Infernape card in the Chinese-only numbered sets, at $140.00. It is the only Infernape card in the language above $100, and the next card below it is tracked at $43.73. Chinese promo printings sit outside that comparison, because their numbering is shared between the Chinese branches.

How many Infernape cards are there in the Chinese-only sets?

Ten, across two products: seven from Gem Pack Vol. 4 and three from Blade Awakening. All seven Gem Pack cards carry a tracked PSA 10 value; none of the three Blade Awakening prints does. The seven priced cards run #901 to #907.

Why does one Infernape card cost three times the others?

Because it is the seventh print of the group rather than one of its six ordinary treatments. A Gem Pack group prints the same artwork six ways at the same rarity and then closes the run with a seventh print, and in Vol. 4 that seventh print is the most valuable card of its group in 27 of the 28 groups the volume contains. Infernape’s is among the clearest: it is tracked raw at $5.75 against $1.65 to $2.95 for the six treatments, so the gap exists before grading.

Is a PSA 10 worth the premium over a raw card?

Broadly yes, and the multiples are consistent across the group. Raw prices of $1.65 to $2.95 turn into $37.69 to $43.73 for the six treatments, multiples between 14.8 and 22.8, and the seventh print moves 24.3 times from $5.75 to $140.00. There is no card on this list where grading does nothing, and none where it does dramatically more than the rest. Grading outcomes are never certain, and nothing here is a prediction about what any individual card will grade at.

How does Infernape compare with the other characters ranked here?

His $376 combined total is the second smallest of the character rankings published on this site, and his ranked cards all come from a single Gem Pack group. His top card at $140 sits below the Psyduck, Charizard and Gengar ceilings. For a wider view of the market rather than one character, the ten most popular Chinese-exclusive cards ranks across Pokémon, and the price ladder sorts the same catalogue into bands.

Other character rankings

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

Quick answer

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

Houndstone has eleven cards in the Chinese-only sets and six of them carry a tracked PSA 10 value. All six come from Gem Pack Vol. 3, and together they add to $225.32. Every one of the six sits between $34.33 and $41.23, a top-to-bottom ratio of 1.20 to 1.

A spread that narrow is unusual. Among the character rankings this site has published so far that fill every place in their list, only two close tighter — Vulpix and Clefable. And the six prints agree with each other in a second way: sort them by raw price, by grade 9 or by PSA 10 value and the order comes out the same every time, card for card, with nothing swapped. A group whose tiering holds up whichever column you read is a group where the order is set by the cards rather than by the graders.

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 the set code CBB3C — Gem Pack Vol. 3. The trailing C 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. Eleven Houndstone cards exist in these sets and six have a PSA 10 price on record. The five that do not are listed at the end of this page. A card with no graded record 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 Houndstone 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

5. Houndstone #1701 — Gem Pack Vol. 3 (CBB3C) — $36.09

Raw $1.34 · grade 9 $11.94

The plain print of the group, and its lowest-numbered card. Raw copies are tracked at $1.34 against $36.09 graded, a multiple of 26.9. It sits 19 cents below the card ranked fourth — the narrowest gap anywhere in this ranking — and $1.76 above the card ranked sixth.

4. Houndstone [Pokeball] #1702 — Gem Pack Vol. 3 (CBB3C) — $36.28

Raw $1.40 · grade 9 $11.99

The Poké Ball foil, and the second print of the group. Raw copies are tracked at $1.40 and grade 9 at $11.99, a multiple of 25.9. It is 19 cents above the card ranked fifth and $1.60 below the card ranked third, so the two cards at the bottom of this list are separated by less than a fifth of the gap between the top two.

3. Houndstone ex #1707 — Gem Pack Vol. 3 (CBB3C) — $37.88

Raw $1.76 · grade 9 $12.51

The last print of the group, and the only one in the set that carries an ex. Raw copies are tracked at $1.76 against $37.88 graded, a multiple of 21.5. Its grade 9 record of $12.51 is the third highest of the six priced cards. It is $1.63 below the card ranked second and $1.60 above the card ranked fourth.

2. Houndstone [Stamped] #1706 — Gem Pack Vol. 3 (CBB3C) — $39.51

Raw $2.12 · grade 9 $13.01

The stamped foil, and the sixth print of the group. Its raw price of $2.12 is the second highest of the six priced cards, and the multiple from raw to graded is 18.6. It sits $1.72 below the card at number one and $1.63 above the card ranked third, in a ranking whose widest single step is the $1.76 from fifth to sixth.

1. Houndstone [Stars] #1703 — Gem Pack Vol. 3 (CBB3C) — $41.23

Raw $2.51 · grade 9 $13.58

The most valuable Houndstone card in Simplified Chinese, and the only one above $40. It also carries the highest raw price in the group, at $2.51, and the highest grade 9 record, at $13.58. From raw to PSA 10 the step is 16.4 times, the narrowest on this list. It holds 18.3 percent of the character against an even share of 16.7 percent.

What the ranking shows

Houndstone is one artwork and seven finishes, of which six carry a value.

Band	Cards	Combined PSA 10 value	Share of total
$40 and above — ranked 1	1	$41.23	18.3%
$36 to $40 — ranked 2 to 5	4	$149.76	66.5%
$34 to $36 — ranked 6	1	$34.33	15.2%
Every priced Houndstone card	6	$225.32	100%

Two points run across the whole group.

Six prints inside $6.90, with a top-to-bottom ratio of 1.20 to 1. Among the character rankings this site has published so far that fill every place in their list, only two close tighter — Vulpix and Clefable. The reason is structural. Six of the seven Houndstone prints come from one Gem Pack group, and a group is a single artwork issued in a fixed set of finishes at the same rarity, so there is no rarity difference inside it to pull one print away from another. The volume-by-volume guide sets out how those groups are built.

Rank the group by raw price and you get the same order as ranking it by PSA 10 value — all six positions. The stars foil at #1703 is the most expensive raw card and the most valuable graded one; the Master Ball foil at #1705 is the least expensive on both counts; and the four prints between them line up in the same sequence either way. The step from raw to graded also climbs steadily down the list, from 16.4 times at the top to 34.7 at the bottom, rising at every position. When the two orderings agree and the multiples rise together, what the group is showing is a raw market and a graded market that price the same finish the same way. Our grading guide covers why a single result can land either side of a recorded average.

Where Houndstone is printed

Product	Set code	Houndstone cards	Priced
Gem Pack Vol. 3	CBB3C	7	6
Dark Crystal Blaze	csv5C	3	0
Reward Round	csv4C	1	0
Total		11	6

The counts are cards, not artworks. Gem Pack Vol. 3 gives Houndstone one group running #1701 to #1707 — a plain print, a Poké Ball foil, a stars foil, a rotary foil, a Master Ball foil, a stamped foil and an ex. Six of the seven carry a graded price; the rotary foil at #1704 is the one that does not, which makes it the only treatment this character is missing a value for. The other four Houndstone cards in these sets are the three Dark Crystal Blaze printings of #58 and one card from Reward Round, and none of them has a tracked value.

Houndstone is a ninth-generation Paldea Pokémon, so — unlike Charizard and Pikachu — he has no Collect 151 entry, since that set covers only the original 151 characters. One Gem Pack group and four unpriced cards from two other products are the whole of his Chinese-only catalogue.

If you want one card

• One card, no budget limit: the stars foil from Gem Pack Vol. 3 at #1703, at $41.23. It is the highest tracked Houndstone card in the language, the only one above $40, and the highest raw price in the group.
• The card with the widest step: the Master Ball foil at #1705, at $34.33 graded and 99 cents raw — a multiple of 34.7. It is the least expensive Houndstone card with a tracked value.
• The middle of the group: the ex at #1707, at $37.88. It sits $3.35 below the top of the list and $3.55 above the floor, and it is the only ex in the character’s Chinese-only catalogue.

Frequently asked questions

Which Houndstone card is the most valuable in Simplified Chinese?

The stars foil from Gem Pack Vol. 3 — #1703 — carries the highest tracked PSA 10 value of any Houndstone card in the Chinese-only numbered sets, at $41.23. It is $1.72 above the second card, the only Houndstone card above $40, and the highest raw price in the group. Chinese promo printings sit outside that comparison, because their numbering is shared between the Chinese branches.

How many Houndstone cards are there in the Chinese-only sets?

Eleven, across three products: seven from Gem Pack Vol. 3, three from Dark Crystal Blaze and one from Reward Round. Six of the eleven carry a tracked PSA 10 value, and all six are Vol. 3 prints. The five that do not are the rotary foil at #1704 from Vol. 3, the three Dark Crystal Blaze printings of #58, and one card from Reward Round.

Why are all the Houndstone prices so close?

Because the character has one Gem Pack group and a group is one artwork issued as a fixed set of finishes at the same rarity. Nothing inside it is scarcer than anything else in it, so there is no mechanism to pull one print away from the rest. The result is $34.33 to $41.23 across the whole priced catalogue — a top-to-bottom ratio of 1.20 to 1, tighter than every character ranking published on this site so far that fills every place in its list, except two.

Is a PSA 10 worth the premium over a raw card?

The step is modest at the top of this list and wide at the bottom, and it moves in one direction the whole way down. The stars foil at #1703 is tracked at $2.51 raw against $41.23 graded, a multiple of 16.4. The Master Ball foil at #1705 is tracked at 99 cents raw against $34.33 graded, a multiple of 34.7. The graded prices differ by $6.90; the raw prices differ by $1.52. A printed figure is an observation, not a forecast, and grading outcomes are never certain.

How does Houndstone compare with the other characters ranked here?

His six prints sit inside $6.90, a top-to-bottom ratio of 1.20 to 1, and the raw order and the graded order match at every one of the six positions. Among the rankings published on this site so far that fill every place in their list, only Vulpix and Clefable close tighter — two catalogues whose prices sit closer together than this one’s, with no card in either pulling clear of the group. For a wider view of the market rather than one character, the ten most popular Chinese-exclusive cards ranks across Pokémon, and the price ladder sorts the same catalogue into bands.

Other character rankings

Each character ranked here has its own page: Pikachu, Charizard, Gengar, Psyduck, Mew, Snorlax, Venusaur, Blastoise, Zapdos, Alakazam and Chansey, plus the nine forms of the Eevee family — Eevee, Umbreon, Sylveon, Espeon, Leafeon, Glaceon, Jolteon, Vaporeon and Flareon. Smaller catalogues in the same price band as this one include Floragato, Clefable, Magneton, Crocalor and Quaxwell.

Quick answer

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

Greavard has ten cards in the Chinese-only sets and six of them carry a tracked PSA 10 value. All six come from Gem Pack Vol. 3, and one of them breaks the pattern of the group: the Master Ball foil at #1605 has a grade 9 value of $25.00 — the highest in the set by more than six dollars — while its PSA 10 value of $34.98 ranks fifth of the six.

The other five grade 9 records sit between $11.42 and $18.53. On the four cards in the middle of the list the step from grade 9 to PSA 10 is between 2.97 and 3.04 times, so a grade 9 copy is worth roughly a third of a PSA 10 copy. On the Master Ball foil that step is 1.40 times. Of the 1,143 cards in these sets that carry both a PSA 10 value and a grade 9 value, only 37 sit closer together than that.

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 the set code CBB3C — Gem Pack Vol. 3. The trailing C 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. Ten Greavard cards exist in these sets and six have a PSA 10 price on record. The four that do not are listed at the end of this page. A card with no graded record 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 Greavard 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

5. Greavard [Masterball] #1605 — Gem Pack Vol. 3 (CBB3C) — $34.98

Raw $1.11 · grade 9 $25.00

The fifth print of the seven-card group, and the outlier. Its grade 9 value of $25.00 is the highest of the six priced cards by $6.47, and its raw price of $1.11 is the second lowest. The step from raw to PSA 10 is 31.5 times, and the step from grade 9 to PSA 10 is 1.40 — where every other card in this list runs close to three. It sits 49 cents above the card ranked sixth and $1.21 below the card ranked fourth.

4. Greavard [Rotary] #1604 — Gem Pack Vol. 3 (CBB3C) — $36.19

Raw $1.39 · grade 9 $11.96

The fourth print of the group. Raw copies are tracked at $1.39 and grade 9 at $11.96, a multiple of 26.0. Its grade 9 record is the second lowest of the six priced cards, and it sits 50 cents below the card ranked third and $1.21 above the card ranked fifth — the three cards at the bottom of this list are separated by $1.70 in total.

3. Greavard [Stars] #1603 — Gem Pack Vol. 3 (CBB3C) — $36.69

Raw $1.49 · grade 9 $12.12

The third print of the group. Raw copies are tracked at $1.49 against $36.69 graded, a multiple of 24.6. Its grade 9 record of $12.12 is the third highest among the five cards that are not the Master Ball foil. It is $3.21 below the card ranked second, and $18.31 below the card at number one.

2. Greavard [Stamped] #1606 — Gem Pack Vol. 3 (CBB3C) — $39.90

Raw $2.21 · grade 9 $13.14

The stamped foil, and the last print of the group before the full art. It is the highest-priced Greavard card that is not a full art, and it carries the second highest grade 9 value among the five non-Master-Ball prints, at $13.14. Raw copies are tracked at $2.21 and the multiple from raw to graded is 18.1. It sits $3.21 above the card ranked third and $15.10 below the card at number one.

1. Greavard [Full Art] #1607 — Gem Pack Vol. 3 (CBB3C) — $55.00

Raw $5.99 · grade 9 $18.53

The most valuable Greavard card in Simplified Chinese, the only one above $40, and the only card in the group with a raw price above three dollars. It is $15.10 clear of the card below it. Its grade 9 record of $18.53 is the second highest in the group, behind only the Master Ball foil, and the step from raw to PSA 10 is 9.2 times — the narrowest on this list. It holds 23.2 percent of the character against an even share of 16.7 percent.

What the ranking shows

Greavard is one artwork and seven finishes, six of which carry a value.

Band	Cards	Combined PSA 10 value	Share of total
$55 and above — ranked 1	1	$55.00	23.2%
$36 to $40 — ranked 2 to 4	3	$112.78	47.5%
$34 to $36 — ranked 5 to 6	2	$69.47	29.3%
Every priced Greavard card	6	$237.25	100%

Two points run across the whole group.

One card’s grade 9 value sits far above the rest, and it is not the card at the top. Five of the six priced Greavard cards carry a grade 9 value between $11.42 and $18.53. The sixth, the Master Ball foil at #1605, is recorded at $25.00 — $6.47 above the next highest, and the only one of the six whose grade 9 value comes within 40 percent of its PSA 10 value. The same card ranks fifth on PSA 10. The record does not explain itself, and it is worth reading it carefully: a grade 9 figure is built from however many sales were recorded, and on a print with a thinner sales history that sample is smaller. Our grading guide covers why a single result can land either side of a recorded average.

A high grade 9 value and a high PSA 10 value are two different things here. Rank this group by grade 9 and the Master Ball foil leads it; rank it by PSA 10 and the same card is fifth. Rank it by raw price and the order is the full art, the stamped foil, the stars foil, the rotary foil, the Master Ball foil, the Poké Ball foil — which is the PSA 10 order, card for card. So on this group the raw market and the graded market agree at every position while the middle grade does not, and the single card that disagrees is the one that decides how the rest of the table reads. Inside a Gem Pack group every print is issued at the same rarity, so there is no scarcity difference to explain the gap; what a finish sells for is set by the buyers who want that finish. The volume-by-volume guide sets out how those groups are built.

The counts are cards, not artworks. Gem Pack Vol. 3 gives Greavard one group running #1601 to #1607 — a plain print, a Poké Ball foil, a stars foil, a rotary foil, a Master Ball foil, a stamped foil and a full art. Six of the seven carry a graded price; the lowest-numbered print, #1601, is the one that does not. The other three Greavard cards in these sets are the Dark Crystal Blaze printings of #57 — a plain print, a Poké Ball foil and a Master Ball foil — and none of the three has a tracked value.

Greavard is a ninth-generation Paldea Pokémon, so — unlike Charizard and Pikachu — he has no Collect 151 entry, since that set covers only the original 151 characters. One Gem Pack group and three unpriced cards from a second volume are the whole of his Chinese-only catalogue.

If you want one card

• One card, no budget limit: the full art from Gem Pack Vol. 3 at #1607, at $55.00. It is the highest tracked Greavard card in the language, the only one above $40, and the only card in the group with a raw price above three dollars.
• The card the grade 9 market rates highest: the Master Ball foil from Gem Pack Vol. 3 at #1605, at $34.98. Its grade 9 value of $25.00 is the highest in the group by $6.47 — and the same card ranks fifth on PSA 10.
• The lowest entry point: the Poké Ball foil from Gem Pack Vol. 3 at #1602, at $34.49. It is the least expensive Greavard card with a tracked value, and it sits $20.51 below the top of the list.

Frequently asked questions

Which Greavard card is the most valuable in Simplified Chinese?

The full art from Gem Pack Vol. 3 — #1607 — carries the highest tracked PSA 10 value of any Greavard card in the Chinese-only numbered sets, at $55.00. It is $15.10 above the second card, and the only Greavard card above $40. Chinese promo printings sit outside that comparison, because their numbering is shared between the Chinese branches.

How many Greavard cards are there in the Chinese-only sets?

Ten, across two products: seven from Gem Pack Vol. 3 and three from Dark Crystal Blaze. Six of the ten carry a tracked PSA 10 value, and all six are Vol. 3 prints. The four that do not are the lowest-numbered print of the Vol. 3 group at #1601, and the three Dark Crystal Blaze printings of #57.

Why does #1605 rank so high on grade 9 but only fifth on PSA 10?

The record does not explain itself, and it is worth reading carefully. #1605 is a Master Ball foil, one of the treatments a Gem Pack group issues alongside the plain print and the stamped foil. Its grade 9 value is $25.00, the highest in the group by $6.47, while its PSA 10 value of $34.98 ranks fifth of six. A grade 9 figure is built from however many sales were recorded, and on a print with a thinner sales history that sample is smaller — a reason to read any single graded value as an observation rather than a settled price.

Is a PSA 10 worth the premium over a raw card?

Across this group the step widens as the raw price falls. The full art at #1607 is tracked at $5.99 raw against $55.00 graded, a multiple of 9.2 — the smallest step in the list, because a raw copy already carries a real price. The Poké Ball foil at #1602 is tracked at $1.00 raw against $34.49 graded, a multiple of 34.5. The graded values differ by $20.51; the raw values differ by under six dollars. A printed figure is an observation, not a forecast, and grading outcomes are never certain.

How does Greavard compare with the other characters ranked here?

His $237.25 total is one of the smallest, and the group behind it is a single run of seven numbers from one volume, six of them priced. What makes him worth a page is the one card that refuses to line up: the highest grade 9 value in the group belongs to the fifth most valuable card on PSA 10. For a wider view of the market rather than one character, the ten most popular Chinese-exclusive cards ranks across Pokémon, and the price ladder sorts the same catalogue into bands.

Other character rankings

Each character ranked here has its own page: Pikachu, Charizard, Gengar, Psyduck, Mew, Snorlax, Venusaur, Blastoise, Zapdos, Alakazam and Chansey, plus the nine forms of the Eevee family — Eevee, Umbreon, Sylveon, Espeon, Leafeon, Glaceon, Jolteon, Vaporeon and Flareon. Smaller catalogues in the same price band as this one include Floragato, Clefable, Magneton, Crocalor and Quaxwell.
