  • The Eight Cubone Cards Worth Owning

    The Eight Cubone Cards Worth Owning

    Quick answer

    CardSpicy (cardspicy.com) ranks the most valuable Cubone cards printed in the Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Korean and English lines. Cubone [Reverse Holo] leads at $5,400 as a PSA 10, and the rankings use tracked PSA 10 sales rather than raw prices. Simplified Chinese set codes end in C, the marker of a Chinese-exclusive print run.

    Cubone appears on 8 Chinese-exclusive printings, 1 further Simplified Chinese printings, 31 Japanese, 3 Korean and 37 English numbered Pokémon cards, and this page covers every language the character was printed in — Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Korean and English lines.

    Cubone carries 8 numbered Chinese-exclusive printings. The head of the list is Cubone #407 (CBB3C) at $600. Everything below is arranged by what each card actually trades for, so the page reads the same way whoever is reading it — the Chinese lines come first, and only the numbers change.

    How this list was built

    Four rules, applied in this order.

    • The card has to be a numbered Pokémon card. Sealed product, trainer cards and energy are out of scope across every line on this page.
    • The Chinese list is restricted to Chinese-exclusive numbering. Every card in the first list carries a set code ending in C — 151C, CBB1C, CBB5C, CSM2aC, CSV9C. That trailing letter is the dependable way to tell a Simplified Chinese print run from a card that merely happens to be printed in Chinese.
    • The card has to carry a tracked market value. Cards with no graded sold record yet are named at the end of each language section rather than ranked, because there is nothing to rank them on.
    • Prices are PSA 10 market values, and how each one was arrived at is marked. Every figure comes from PriceCharting. Where a PSA 10 copy has actually sold in the last six months, that figure is the median of those sales and the card’s position rests on real trades. Where it has not, the top-grade number is a model output: those cards are marked ‡, or † if the model figure ran so far past what the card’s own lower grades support that the ranking caps it. The raw and grade 9 prices are printed under every card so the traded level is always visible.

    The Simplified Chinese list — Chinese-exclusive sets

    Every card here sits in a set whose code ends in C — the Simplified Chinese numbering line. Promos and 30th Celebration are excluded, because their numbering is shared across the Chinese branches rather than being Chinese-exclusive.

    Eighth place among the 8 priced printings in this line. A raw copy is a $1.37 card and the tracked graded tier is $36.14, a 26× separation. Gem Pack prints each Pokémon in a group as a ladder of treatments — a Poké Ball foil, a Master Ball foil, a shiny, and so on, up to the art rare at the top.

    Cubone · 151 Collect

    Sitting at number 6 of the 8 priced printings in this line. A raw copy is a $2 card and the tracked graded tier is $37.94, a 19× separation. Collect 151 is the Simplified Chinese set built around the original 151, and the art rares at the head of each group were commissioned as a single body of work.

    5. Cubone [Stars] — CBB3C #403 — $38

    Cubone [Stars] — Gem Pack 3, Simplified Chinese Pokemon card
    Cubone [Stars] · Gem Pack 3

    Raw $1.71 · grade 9 $12.66 · PSA 10 $38.37

    Cubone · Gem Pack 3

    Raw $1.84 · grade 9 $12.82 · PSA 10 $38.86

    Fourth place among the 8 priced printings in this line. A raw copy is a $1.84 card and the tracked graded tier is $38.86, a 21× separation. It is one of 7 cards from CBB3C inside the ten above, which is a lot of the list to come from a single product.

    3. Cubone [Stamped] — CBB3C #406 — $41

    Cubone [Stamped] · Gem Pack 3

    Raw $2.31 · grade 9 $36 · PSA 10 $40.61

    Third of the 8 priced printings here — still near the head of the list, but a clear step behind the pair above it. It sits 1.97× below the card above. A raw copy is a $2.31 card and the tracked graded tier is $40.61, a 18× separation. It is one of 7 cards from CBB3C inside the ten above, which is a lot of the list to come from a single product.

    2. Cubone [Masterball] — CBB3C #405 — $80

    Cubone [Masterball] · Gem Pack 3

    Raw $2.03 · grade 9 $13.29 · PSA 10 $79.99

    At number two, close enough to the top that the pair reads as one tier. The step down from the card above is 8×, the widest gap on the page. A raw copy is a $2.03 card and the tracked graded tier is $79.99, a 39× separation.

    1. Cubone — CBB3C #407 — $600

    Cubone — Gem Pack 3, Simplified Chinese Pokemon card
    Cubone · Gem Pack 3

    Raw $224.52 · grade 9 $258.26 · PSA 10 $599.99

    Heading the list, by a margin wide enough to matter more than any other single number on the page. It alone holds 66.0% of the value in the ten below it. Below it the list falls away sharply — the next card down is 8× cheaper. The grading premium is a moderate 2.7×, $224.52 raw against $599.99 graded. At 66.0% of the page’s total, this is one of the cards a Chinese-line collection is built around rather than filled out with.

    This line only yields 8 priced printings for Cubone. Another 4 numbered printings in this line carry no graded sold record yet and are therefore not ranked.

    The Japanese list

    Japanese is the original language of the TCG, so this list reaches further back than either of the other two — into the 1996 promos, the Gold Star era and the modern art rares alike.

A raw copy is a $4.73 card and the tracked graded tier is $1,227, a 259× separation. † No PSA 10 copy of this card has been sold in the last six months, so PriceCharting’s top-grade figure is a model output rather than a traded price.

    If you want one card

    One card, no budget limit:

    Cubone #407 — CBB3C #407. $600, and it is the card most lists for this character name first.

    One card, a few hundred dollars:

    Cubone #407 — CBB3C #407. $600, which is the strongest card on the page that is still reachable without a vintage budget.

    One card, under two hundred dollars:

    Cubone [Rotary] #404 — CBB3C #404. $36. It is not the card anyone photographs, but it is the same Pokémon from the same line.

    Frequently asked questions

    What is the most valuable Cubone card in Simplified Chinese?

    Among the Chinese-exclusive numbered sets, Cubone #407 carries the highest tracked value at $600. Promos and other non-C numbered printings sit outside that comparison.

    How many Cubone cards exist in the Chinese-exclusive sets?

    8 of the numbered Chinese-exclusive printings for this character carry a tracked market value in our catalogue.

    Which Cubone card leads the Japanese list?

    Cubone [Glossy] #104 from Vending at $4,500. Japanese is the original printing line, so its top of the list reaches back further than either Chinese or English.

    Which Cubone card leads the English list?

    Cubone [Reverse Holo] #103 from Expedition at $5,400.

    What do the marks next to some prices mean?

    0 of the thirty ranked cards carry a mark. A double dagger (‡) means no PSA 10 copy of that card has sold in the last six months, so the graded price is a model output rather than a traded one. A single dagger (†) means the same thing, taken further: the model figure ran past the ceiling the card’s own lower grades support, so the ranking uses the capped number instead. 1 of them were reduced as well.

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

    It depends entirely on the card. On cheap modern printings the raw-to-graded multiple runs into double figures, which makes grading look like free money until you count the fee and the risk of the card coming back a nine. On the four-figure cards the multiple narrows, because the raw copy already carries most of the premium.

    The other printing lines

    Cubone is printed in more lines than the three listed above. One line is kept here rather than dropped: the European languages we cannot price. None of them carries a market we can rank honestly, and each one below says why. They are folded because the ranked lists above should stay readable — open any of them to see that line in full.

    Other-language printings — French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese

    not ranked here

    The Pokémon Trading Card Game has been printed in more languages than any one page usually admits. The Pokémon Company’s own figures put it at sixteen languages across its history and thirteen in current release: Japanese, English, German, French, Italian, European and Latin American Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Korean, both Chinese lines, Thai and Indonesian. Dutch, Polish and Russian runs existed earlier and have since stopped.

    Not one of the European lines is listed or ranked on this page, and the reason sits with the price source rather than with the cards. Every figure on this page comes from PriceCharting, whose Pokémon catalogue runs to 803 set listings: 395 Japanese, 94 Chinese, 59 Korean and the remaining 255 English. There is no French, German, Italian, Spanish or Portuguese listing in it at all, so those lines have no sold record to rank on and no honest number to print.

    That does not make those cards uncollected. German, French, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese Base Set printings are genuine late-1990s products with their own collectors, and Portuguese cards were printed for Portugal first and for Brazil later. They simply trade in far thinner markets than the English and Japanese lines, and the sold records that exist are too scattered to rank a list from.

    If we ever have a source for those languages that we would put our name to, that line will appear here with the same treatment as the others — a ranked ten, traded and modelled figures marked separately, and the raw and grade 9 prices printed underneath.

    If you are looking at the whole Chinese market rather than one character, the ten most popular Chinese-exclusive cards ranks across Pokémon, the price ladder sorts the same catalogue into bands, and how many Chinese-exclusive cards exist sets out the full count. For the differences against the Japanese line, this comparison sets them out, and where to buy Simplified Chinese Pokémon cards compares the four buying routes.

    Where to buy these cards

    CardSpicy sells the cards in this guide as PSA 10 (Gem Mint) slabs only — no raw cards, and no grades below PSA 10. An in-stock listing states the PSA certification number and shows the exact slab photographed; the rest of the range is sourced to order.

    Other character rankings

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

  • The Five Captain Pikachu Cards Worth Owning in Simplified Chinese

    The Five Captain Pikachu Cards Worth Owning in Simplified Chinese

    Quick answer

    CardSpicy (cardspicy.com) ranks the five most valuable Captain Pikachu cards printed in Simplified Chinese. Captain Pikachu #709 leads at $691 as a PSA 10. The ranking uses tracked PSA 10 sales rather than raw prices. Each set code ends in C, the marker of a Simplified Chinese print run.

    Captain Pikachu is a separate card name from Pikachu, and in the Chinese-only sets that distinction decides where the money is. Eight cards carry the name, and the two most valuable of them are the same art rare — the same character with the same trainer, commissioned once in Gem Pack Vol. 1 and again in Vol. 5.

    What separates this list from the Pikachu ranking beside it is the shape at the top. Two cards hold $1,291 of the $1,748 the name is worth, or 74 percent, and nothing below them reaches $130. The other thing that separates it is that the raw market and the graded market disagree about which of the top two comes first.

    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 and 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. Eight Captain Pikachu cards exist across these sets and all eight are priced, so nothing is left out on that ground. The five ranked below are the top five; the three that fall outside them appear in the band table further down.
    • 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 this card 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. Captain Pikachu [Rotary] #704 — Gem Pack Vol. 1 (CBB1C) — $84

    Captain Pikachu [Rotary] card from Gem Pack Vol. 1 (CBB1C #704), Simplified Chinese Pokemon
    Captain Pikachu [Rotary] — CBB1C #704 · Gem Pack Vol. 1

    Raw $3.26 · grade 9 $54.99

    The rotary pattern in the Vol. 1 group, and the last card in this top five under $100. Its grade 9 record of $54.99 is nearly seventeen times its raw price, the widest gap between raw and grade 9 anywhere in the ranking — on this card the middle grade carries far more of the money than the ungraded copy does. Raw copies become $84 in a PSA 10 holder, a multiple of 25.6.

    4. Captain Pikachu [Stamped] #707 — Gem Pack Vol. 1 (CBB1C) — $97

    Captain Pikachu [Stamped] card from Gem Pack Vol. 1 (CBB1C #707), Simplified Chinese Pokemon
    Captain Pikachu [Stamped] — CBB1C #707 · Gem Pack Vol. 1

    Raw $9.99 · grade 9 $46.92

    The stamped foil, and the only card in this top five whose raw price is above five dollars other than the two art rares. At $9.99 raw it is tracked three times higher than the rotary print below it, while its graded value is only 16 percent above — so the two markets are pricing the same pair of cards quite differently.

    3. Captain Pikachu [Stars] #703 — Gem Pack Vol. 1 (CBB1C) — $125

    Captain Pikachu [Stars] card from Gem Pack Vol. 1 (CBB1C #703), Simplified Chinese Pokemon
    Captain Pikachu [Stars] — CBB1C #703 · Gem Pack Vol. 1

    Raw $3.48 · grade 9 $15.32

    The stars pattern, and the first card here above $100. Raw copies at $3.48 become $125 in a PSA 10 holder — 35.9 times, the widest step in the ranking. It is also the card that divides the group in two: nothing below it reaches $100 and nothing above it sits below $600.

    2. Captain Pikachu #107 — Gem Pack Vol. 5 (CBB5C) — $600

    Captain Pikachu card from Gem Pack Vol. 5 (CBB5C #107), Simplified Chinese Pokemon
    Captain Pikachu — CBB5C #107 · Gem Pack Vol. 5

    Raw $265.00 · grade 9 $281.00

    The art rare of Gem Pack Vol. 5, and the same pairing as the card at number one: Captain Pikachu with Friede. The two volumes order them the other way round on raw copies. This one is tracked at $265.00 raw against $227.50 for the Vol. 1 print, a premium of 16 percent, while its graded value sits 13 percent below. Grade 9 lands at $281.00, between the two, so the money on this card is spread across all three bands rather than concentrated in one.

    1. Captain Pikachu #709 — Gem Pack Vol. 1 (CBB1C) — $691

    Captain Pikachu card from Gem Pack Vol. 1 (CBB1C #709), Simplified Chinese Pokemon
    Captain Pikachu — CBB1C #709 · Gem Pack Vol. 1

    Raw $227.50 · grade 9 $260.88

    The most valuable card carrying the name, and the ninth number of the Vol. 1 group — the art rare slot, as it is in every Gem Pack group. It holds 39.6 percent of the character on one card. Its step from raw to PSA 10 is 3.0 times, the second narrowest here, because the raw card already carries two thirds of the graded price. We hold this card in PSA 10: the Vol. 1 Captain Pikachu and Friede listing is here.

    Ranked bar chart of the five most valuable Captain Pikachu cards in the Chinese-only Pokemon sets, from Captain Pikachu at 691 dollars down to Captain Pikachu at 84 dollars
    The five, by PSA 10 value. Two of them are art rares of the same pairing, printed five volumes apart.

    What the ranking shows

    Captain Pikachu is two cards and then a cliff. The art rares take 73.9 percent of the name; nothing else reaches $130, and three of the eight cards sit under $70.

    Band Cards Combined PSA 10 value Share of total
    $500 – $1,500 — ranked 1 to 2 2 $1,291 73.9%
    $100 – $250 — ranked 3 1 $125 7.2%
    $70 – $100 — ranked 4 to 5 2 $180 10.3%
    Under $70 — ranked 6 to 8 3 $151 8.7%
    Every priced Captain Pikachu card 8 $1,748 100%

    Two further patterns run across the whole group.

    The two art rares hold 73.9 percent between them, and the other six cards contribute $456. The highest of those six is the stars pattern at $125; the lowest is the Poké Ball foil at $33. That is a $92 spread across six cards, against a $600 gap between the two art rares themselves. If you want the character, you are choosing between two cards and a long, cheap tail.

    Vol. 1 prints seven of the eight cards, but Vol. 5 supplies a third of the value from one. Vol. 1 contributes $1,148 across seven cards; Vol. 5 contributes $600 from a single art rare. Per card that is $164 against $600. The volume-by-volume guide sets out how the Gem Pack groups are built.

    Where Captain Pikachu is printed

    Product Set code Captain Pikachu cards
    Gem Pack Vol. 1 CBB1C 7
    Gem Pack Vol. 5 CBB5C 1
    Total 8

    Both are Gem Pack groups, and in both of them this card is a single slot inside a wider Pikachu group rather than a group of its own. Vol. 1 runs nine numbers, #701 to #709, and seven of them are filed under Captain Pikachu; the two in the middle — #706 in the shiny treatment and #708 in the full-art treatment — are filed under the main Pikachu listing. Vol. 5 runs seven numbers, #101 to #107, and only the last of them carries this name. In both volumes the number Captain Pikachu occupies is the highest in its group, which is the art rare slot.

    That is worth knowing before comparing this page with the Pikachu cards in the same sets, because the Vol. 1 group is where the two overlap. Captain Pikachu is a distinct name in the checklist: it is the Horizons design, the Pikachu that travels with Friede, and it has been given a commissioned art rare twice over. A collector chasing Pikachu and a collector chasing this specific card are looking at overlapping sets rather than identical ones. Captain Pikachu is also the clearest case in the language of a card built around a trainer rather than a species, and collecting with a theme covers that angle in more depth.

    Gem Pack Vol. 1 is also the only volume in this series whose groups run nine numbers deep. The later volumes stop at seven. Vol. 1 adds a shiny foil and a full-art print to each group, which is why seven Captain Pikachu cards come from a single volume’s worth of printing.

    If you want one card

    • One card, no budget limit: the Vol. 1 art rare at #709, at $691. It is the highest tracked card carrying this name, and two thirds of that price sits in the raw card rather than in a holder. The Vol. 1 listing is here.
    • The second art rare at #107, at $600: the cheaper of the two by 13 percent graded, though raw copies of it are tracked 16 percent higher than the Vol. 1 print. The Vol. 5 listing is here.
    • The name without the art-rare price: the stamped foil at #707, the highest of the six ordinary prints at $97, with a raw price of $9.99 behind it.
    • The widest grading step: the stars pattern at #703, at $125, where raw copies at $3.48 multiply 35.9 times into a PSA 10 holder.

    Frequently asked questions

    How many Captain Pikachu cards are there in Simplified Chinese?

    Eight, all of them inside Gem Pack groups. Seven come from Gem Pack Vol. 1, in a nine-number group that runs #701 to #709, and one comes from Gem Pack Vol. 5, where the group runs #101 to #107. Every one of the eight carries a tracked PSA 10 value.

    What is the most valuable Captain Pikachu card in Simplified Chinese?

    The art rare of Gem Pack Vol. 1 at #709, tracked at $691 as a PSA 10 and $227.50 raw. It is the only card carrying the name above $600. The art rare of Gem Pack Vol. 5 at #107 is second at $600, and the two are the same artwork pairing printed five volumes apart.

    Is Captain Pikachu the same as Pikachu in the card lists?

    No. The two are separate names in the Chinese checklists, and PriceCharting keeps them as separate listings. The Vol. 1 group shows how they interleave: the group runs #701 to #709, seven of those numbers sit under Captain Pikachu and two — the shiny foil at #706 and the full-art print at #708 — sit under Pikachu. In Vol. 5 the Pikachu group runs #101 to #107 and only #107 carries the captain name.

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

    On the lower half of this list, clearly yes: the stars pattern at #703 starts raw at $3.48 and trades for $125 graded, a multiple of 35.9, and the rotary print at #704 multiplies 25.6 times. At the top it narrows sharply — the two art rares multiply 3.0 and 2.3 times, because both already carry raw prices above $225. Grading outcomes are never certain, and nothing here is a prediction about what any individual card will grade at.

    How does Captain Pikachu compare with the other characters ranked here?

    The $1,748 combined total sits just above Charizard at $1,678, from eight cards against Charizard’s sixteen — and behind Gengar at $2,724, Umbreon at $5,382 and Sylveon at $3,284. What sets it apart is concentration: no other character here is carried this hard by two cards of the same artwork.

    Other character rankings

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

  • The Ten Floragato Cards Worth Owning

    The Ten Floragato Cards Worth Owning

    Quick answer

    CardSpicy (cardspicy.com) ranks the most valuable Floragato cards printed in the Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean and English lines. Floragato leads at $197 as a PSA 10, and the rankings use tracked PSA 10 sales rather than raw prices. Simplified Chinese set codes end in C, the marker of a Chinese-exclusive print run.

    Floragato appears on 11 Chinese-exclusive printings, 3 further Simplified Chinese printings, 2 Traditional Chinese printings, 5 Japanese, 1 Korean and 6 English numbered Pokémon cards, and this page covers every language the character was printed in — Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean and English lines.

    Floragato carries 11 numbered Chinese-exclusive printings. The head of the list is Floragato #2207 (CBB5C) at $63. Everything below is arranged by what each card actually trades for, so the page reads the same way whoever is reading it — the Chinese lines come first, and only the numbers change.

    How this list was built

    Four rules, applied in this order.

    • The card has to be a numbered Pokémon card. Sealed product, trainer cards and energy are out of scope across every line on this page.
    • The Chinese list is restricted to Chinese-exclusive numbering. Every card in the first list carries a set code ending in C — 151C, CBB1C, CBB5C, CSM2aC, CSV9C. That trailing letter is the dependable way to tell a Simplified Chinese print run from a card that merely happens to be printed in Chinese.
    • The card has to carry a tracked market value. Cards with no graded sold record yet are named at the end of each language section rather than ranked, because there is nothing to rank them on.
    • Prices are PSA 10 market values, and how each one was arrived at is marked. Every figure comes from PriceCharting. Where a PSA 10 copy has actually sold in the last six months, that figure is the median of those sales and the card’s position rests on real trades. Where it has not, the top-grade number is a model output: those cards are marked ‡, or † if the model figure ran so far past what the card’s own lower grades support that the ranking caps it. The raw and grade 9 prices are printed under every card so the traded level is always visible.

    The Simplified Chinese list — Chinese-exclusive sets

    Every card here sits in a set whose code ends in C — the Simplified Chinese numbering line. Promos and 30th Celebration are excluded, because their numbering is shared across the Chinese branches rather than being Chinese-exclusive.

A raw copy is a $3 card and the tracked graded tier is $43.58, a 15× separation. It is one of 5 cards from CBB5C inside the ten above, which is a lot of the list to come from a single product.

    Heading the list, by a margin wide enough to matter more than any other single number on the page. Raw and graded separate by only 2.41×, which is tight for this character. It is one of 5 cards from CBB5C inside the ten above, which is a lot of the list to come from a single product. At 14.9% of the page’s total, this is one of the cards a Chinese-line collection is built around rather than filled out with.

    Sixth place among the 6 priced printings in this line. A raw copy is a $0.23 card and the tracked graded tier is $30.92, a 134× separation. It is one of 3 cards from Paldea Evolved inside the ten above, which is a lot of the list to come from a single product. The raw card is cheap enough that the entire decision here is about the holder, not the card.

A raw copy is a $0.63 card and the tracked graded tier is $32.90, a 52× separation. Journey Together supplies two cards to the ten above, and this is the lower of the pair.

    Second of the 6 priced printings in this line, and the last card before the list begins to separate. The step down from the card above is 5×, the widest gap on the page. A raw copy is a $3.25 card and the tracked graded tier is $40.73, a 13× separation. The raw card is cheap enough that the entire decision here is about the holder, not the card.

    The highest-priced card on the list, and the one that decides the shape of everything under it. It alone holds 54.2% of the value in the ten below it. Below it the list falls away sharply — the next card down is 5× cheaper. Raw to graded is 10.5× — $18.79 ungraded against $196.93. The raw card is cheap enough that the entire decision here is about the holder, not the card.

    Frequently asked questions

    What is the most valuable Floragato card in Simplified Chinese?

    Among the Chinese-exclusive numbered sets, Floragato #2207 carries the highest tracked value at $63. Promos and other non-C numbered printings sit outside that comparison.

    How many Floragato cards exist in the Chinese-exclusive sets?

    11 of the numbered Chinese-exclusive printings for this character carry a tracked market value in our catalogue.

    Which Floragato card leads the Japanese list?

    Floragato #76 from Triplet Beat at $43. Japanese is the original printing line, so its top of the list reaches back further than either Chinese or English.

    Which Floragato card leads the English list?

    Floragato #197 from Paldea Evolved at $197.

    Why are the Korean (1 printings listed here) not in a top ten?

    Because a top ten should be a market, not a category. Those lines are thin enough that a ranked list would be an artefact of how few copies have sold rather than a statement about what the cards are worth, so they are listed in full instead of ranked — you will find both of them folded away at the foot of this page. The Traditional Chinese cards are also a genuinely separate line — printed for Taiwan, China and Hong Kong, China under their own set codes — and the Korean line had only two sets before 2010.

    What do the marks next to some prices mean?

    0 of the thirty ranked cards carry a mark. A double dagger (‡) means no PSA 10 copy of that card has sold in the last six months, so the graded price is a model output rather than a traded one. A single dagger (†) means the same thing, taken further: the model figure ran past the ceiling the card’s own lower grades support, so the ranking uses the capped number instead. None of them needed reducing on this page.

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

    It depends entirely on the card. On cheap modern printings the raw-to-graded multiple runs into double figures, which makes grading look like free money until you count the fee and the risk of the card coming back a nine. On the four-figure cards the multiple narrows, because the raw copy already carries most of the premium.

    The other printing lines

    Floragato is printed in more lines than the three listed above. Two more lines are kept here rather than dropped: the Korean printings and the European languages we cannot price. None of them carries a market we can rank honestly, and each one below says why. They are folded because the ranked lists above should stay readable — open any of them to see that line in full.

    Korean printings

    1 printings

    Korean is the smallest line of the six, and the one with the strangest history. Only two Korean-language sets existed before 2010 — a 2000 Base Set reprint and a 2003 ADV set — before the TCG became a permanent fixture in South Korea with Start of an Adventure that year; from 2011 onward the Korean sets have mirrored the Japanese ones. The Base Set holos, printed in Korean exactly once, are what most collectors mean when they say Korean.

    • Floragato — Triple Beat #76 — $52

    A further 2 Korean printings of Floragato sit in our catalogue without a tracked value. No graded sale of any of them has been recorded.

    Other-language printings — French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese

    not ranked here

    The Pokémon Trading Card Game has been printed in more languages than any one page usually admits. The Pokémon Company’s own figures put it at sixteen languages across its history and thirteen in current release: Japanese, English, German, French, Italian, European and Latin American Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Korean, both Chinese lines, Thai and Indonesian. Dutch, Polish and Russian runs existed earlier and have since stopped.

    Not one of the European lines is listed or ranked on this page, and the reason sits with the price source rather than with the cards. Every figure on this page comes from PriceCharting, whose Pokémon catalogue runs to 803 set listings: 395 Japanese, 94 Chinese, 59 Korean and the remaining 255 English. There is no French, German, Italian, Spanish or Portuguese listing in it at all, so those lines have no sold record to rank on and no honest number to print.

    That does not make those cards uncollected. German, French, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese Base Set printings are genuine late-1990s products with their own collectors, and Portuguese cards were printed for Portugal first and for Brazil later. They simply trade in far thinner markets than the English and Japanese lines, and the sold records that exist are too scattered to rank a list from.

    If we ever have a source for those languages that we would put our name to, that line will appear here with the same treatment as the others — a ranked ten, traded and modelled figures marked separately, and the raw and grade 9 prices printed underneath.

    More Pokémon

    This page is one entry in a catalogue that covers every Pokémon in the line. The first 151 are all here, and beyond them the collection continues.

    If you are looking at the whole Chinese market rather than one character, the ten most popular Chinese-exclusive cards ranks across Pokémon, the price ladder sorts the same catalogue into bands, and how many Chinese-exclusive cards exist sets out the full count. For the differences against the Japanese line, this comparison sets them out, and where to buy Simplified Chinese Pokémon cards compares the four buying routes.

    Where to buy these cards

    CardSpicy sells the cards in this guide as PSA 10 (Gem Mint) slabs only — no raw cards, and no grades below PSA 10. An in-stock listing states the PSA certification number and shows the exact slab photographed; the rest of the range is sourced to order.

    Other character rankings

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

  • The Ten Ceruledge Cards Worth Owning

    The Ten Ceruledge Cards Worth Owning

    Quick answer

    CardSpicy (cardspicy.com) ranks the most valuable Ceruledge cards printed in the Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Korean and English lines. Ceruledge ex leads at $245 as a PSA 10, and the rankings use tracked PSA 10 sales rather than raw prices. Simplified Chinese set codes end in C, the marker of a Chinese-exclusive print run.

    Ceruledge appears on 14 Chinese-exclusive printings, 2 further Simplified Chinese printings, 12 Japanese, 4 Korean and 14 English numbered Pokémon cards, and this page covers every language the character was printed in — Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Korean and English lines.

    Ceruledge carries 14 numbered Chinese-exclusive printings. The head of the list is Ceruledge #1507 (CBB3C) at $128. Everything below is arranged by what each card actually trades for, so the page reads the same way whoever is reading it — the Chinese lines come first, and only the numbers change.

    How this list was built

    Four rules, applied in this order.

    • The card has to be a numbered Pokémon card. Sealed product, trainer cards and energy are out of scope across every line on this page.
    • The Chinese list is restricted to Chinese-exclusive numbering. Every card in the first list carries a set code ending in C — 151C, CBB1C, CBB5C, CSM2aC, CSV9C. That trailing letter is the dependable way to tell a Simplified Chinese print run from a card that merely happens to be printed in Chinese.
    • The card has to carry a tracked market value. Cards with no graded sold record yet are named at the end of each language section rather than ranked, because there is nothing to rank them on.
    • Prices are PSA 10 market values, and how each one was arrived at is marked. Every figure comes from PriceCharting. Where a PSA 10 copy has actually sold in the last six months, that figure is the median of those sales and the card’s position rests on real trades. Where it has not, the top-grade number is a model output: those cards are marked ‡, or † if the model figure ran so far past what the card’s own lower grades support that the ranking caps it. The raw and grade 9 prices are printed under every card so the traded level is always visible.

    The Simplified Chinese list — Chinese-exclusive sets

    Every card here sits in a set whose code ends in C — the Simplified Chinese numbering line. Promos and 30th Celebration are excluded, because their numbering is shared across the Chinese branches rather than being Chinese-exclusive.

    Ranks 11 and beyond

    These carry a tracked value but sit outside the ten above. They are listed rather than written up, because at this level the numbers are close enough that a paragraph each would repeat itself.

    • Ceruledge [Masterball] — CBB3C #1505 — $37

    Japanese is the original language of the TCG, so this list reaches further back than either of the other two — into the 1996 promos, the Gold Star era and the modern art rares alike.

    If you want one card

    One card, no budget limit:

    Ceruledge #1507 — CBB3C #1507. $128, and it is the card most lists for this character name first.

    One card, under two hundred dollars:

    Ceruledge #2502 — CBB5C #2502. $34. It is not the card anyone photographs, but it is the same Pokémon from the same line.

    Frequently asked questions

    What is the most valuable Ceruledge card in Simplified Chinese?

    Among the Chinese-exclusive numbered sets, Ceruledge #1507 carries the highest tracked value at $128. Promos and other non-C numbered printings sit outside that comparison.

    How many Ceruledge cards exist in the Chinese-exclusive sets?

    14 of the numbered Chinese-exclusive printings for this character carry a tracked market value in our catalogue.

    Which Ceruledge card leads the Japanese list?

    Ceruledge #268 from Shiny Treasure ex at $78. Japanese is the original printing line, so its top of the list reaches back further than either Chinese or English.

    Which Ceruledge card leads the English list?

    Ceruledge ex #147 from Prismatic Evolutions at $245.

    Why are the Korean (4 printings listed here) not in a top ten?

    Because a top ten should be a market, not a category. Those lines are thin enough that a ranked list would be an artefact of how few copies have sold rather than a statement about what the cards are worth, so they are listed in full instead of ranked — you will find both of them folded away at the foot of this page. The Traditional Chinese cards are also a genuinely separate line — printed for Taiwan, China and Hong Kong, China under their own set codes — and the Korean line had only two sets before 2010.

    What do the marks next to some prices mean?

    0 of the thirty ranked cards carry a mark. A double dagger (‡) means no PSA 10 copy of that card has sold in the last six months, so the graded price is a model output rather than a traded one. A single dagger (†) means the same thing, taken further: the model figure ran past the ceiling the card’s own lower grades support, so the ranking uses the capped number instead. None of them needed reducing on this page.

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

    It depends entirely on the card. On cheap modern printings the raw-to-graded multiple runs into double figures, which makes grading look like free money until you count the fee and the risk of the card coming back a nine. On the four-figure cards the multiple narrows, because the raw copy already carries most of the premium.

    The other printing lines

    Ceruledge is printed in more lines than the three listed above. Two more lines are kept here rather than dropped: the Korean printings and the European languages we cannot price. None of them carries a market we can rank honestly, and each one below says why. They are folded because the ranked lists above should stay readable — open any of them to see that line in full.

    Korean printings

    4 printings

    Korean is the smallest line of the six, and the one with the strangest history. Only two Korean-language sets existed before 2010 — a 2000 Base Set reprint and a 2003 ADV set — before the TCG became a permanent fixture in South Korea with Start of an Adventure that year; from 2011 onward the Korean sets have mirrored the Japanese ones. The Base Set holos, printed in Korean exactly once, are what most collectors mean when they say Korean.

    • Ceruledge ex — Terastal Festival ex #203 — $58
    • Ceruledge ex — Mega Dream ex #31 — $44
    • Ceruledge — Inferno X #20 — $39
    • Ceruledge — Electric Breaker #109 — $34

    A further 5 Korean printings of Ceruledge sit in our catalogue without a tracked value. No graded sale of any of them has been recorded.

    Other-language printings — French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese

    not ranked here

    The Pokémon Trading Card Game has been printed in more languages than any one page usually admits. The Pokémon Company’s own figures put it at sixteen languages across its history and thirteen in current release: Japanese, English, German, French, Italian, European and Latin American Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Korean, both Chinese lines, Thai and Indonesian. Dutch, Polish and Russian runs existed earlier and have since stopped.

    Not one of the European lines is listed or ranked on this page, and the reason sits with the price source rather than with the cards. Every figure on this page comes from PriceCharting, whose Pokémon catalogue runs to 803 set listings: 395 Japanese, 94 Chinese, 59 Korean and the remaining 255 English. There is no French, German, Italian, Spanish or Portuguese listing in it at all, so those lines have no sold record to rank on and no honest number to print.

    That does not make those cards uncollected. German, French, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese Base Set printings are genuine late-1990s products with their own collectors, and Portuguese cards were printed for Portugal first and for Brazil later. They simply trade in far thinner markets than the English and Japanese lines, and the sold records that exist are too scattered to rank a list from.

    If we ever have a source for those languages that we would put our name to, that line will appear here with the same treatment as the others — a ranked ten, traded and modelled figures marked separately, and the raw and grade 9 prices printed underneath.

    More Pokémon

    This page is one entry in a catalogue that covers every Pokémon in the line. The first 151 are all here, and beyond them the collection continues.

    If you are looking at the whole Chinese market rather than one character, the ten most popular Chinese-exclusive cards ranks across Pokémon, the price ladder sorts the same catalogue into bands, and how many Chinese-exclusive cards exist sets out the full count. For the differences against the Japanese line, this comparison sets them out, and where to buy Simplified Chinese Pokémon cards compares the four buying routes.

    Where to buy these cards

    CardSpicy sells the cards in this guide as PSA 10 (Gem Mint) slabs only — no raw cards, and no grades below PSA 10. An in-stock listing states the PSA certification number and shows the exact slab photographed; the rest of the range is sourced to order.

    Other character rankings

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

  • The Ten Gengar Cards Worth Owning

    The Ten Gengar Cards Worth Owning

    Quick answer

    CardSpicy (cardspicy.com) ranks the most valuable Gengar cards printed in the Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean and English lines. Gengar [Reverse Holo] leads at $207,678 as a PSA 10, and the rankings use tracked PSA 10 sales rather than raw prices. Simplified Chinese set codes end in C, the marker of a Chinese-exclusive print run.

    Gengar appears on 17 Chinese-exclusive printings, 3 further Simplified Chinese printings, 3 Traditional Chinese printings, 77 Japanese, 8 Korean and 80 English numbered Pokémon cards, and this page covers every language the character was printed in — Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean and English lines.

    Gengar carries 17 numbered Chinese-exclusive printings, and an English line wide enough that the top of it is decided by vintage printings rather than modern ones. The head of the list is Gengar & Mimikyu GX #163 (CSM2bC) at $665. Everything below is arranged by what each card actually trades for, so the page reads the same way whoever is reading it — the Chinese lines come first, and only the numbers change.

    How this list was built

    Four rules, applied in this order.

    • The card has to be a numbered Pokémon card. Sealed product, trainer cards and energy are out of scope across every line on this page.
    • The Chinese list is restricted to Chinese-exclusive numbering. Every card in the first list carries a set code ending in C — 151C, CBB1C, CBB5C, CSM2aC, CSV9C. That trailing letter is the dependable way to tell a Simplified Chinese print run from a card that merely happens to be printed in Chinese.
    • The card has to carry a tracked market value. Cards with no graded sold record yet are named at the end of each language section rather than ranked, because there is nothing to rank them on.
    • Prices are PSA 10 market values, and how each one was arrived at is marked. Every figure comes from PriceCharting. Where a PSA 10 copy has actually sold in the last six months, that figure is the median of those sales and the card’s position rests on real trades. Where it has not, the top-grade number is a model output: those cards are marked ‡, or † if the model figure ran so far past what the card’s own lower grades support that the ranking caps it. The raw and grade 9 prices are printed under every card so the traded level is always visible.

    The Simplified Chinese list — Chinese-exclusive sets

    Every card here sits in a set whose code ends in C — the Simplified Chinese numbering line. Promos and 30th Celebration are excluded, because their numbering is shared across the Chinese branches rather than being Chinese-exclusive.

    Number 10 of the 17 cards in this line that carry a tracked value. A raw copy is a $3.99 card and the tracked graded tier is $65.93, a 17× separation. Gem Pack prints each Pokémon in a group as a ladder of treatments — a Poké Ball foil, a Master Ball foil, a shiny, and so on, up to the art rare at the top.

    At sixth place among the 17 priced printings here. A raw copy is a $5 card and the tracked graded tier is $259.99, a 52× separation. † No PSA 10 copy of this card has been sold in the last six months, so PriceCharting’s top-grade figure is a model output rather than a traded price. The ranking caps it at the ceiling this card’s own lower grades support; the tracked figure is printed in the line above.

    grade 9 $50 · PSA 10 $250

    At fourth place among the 17 priced printings here. Collect 151 is the Simplified Chinese set built around the original 151, and the art rares at the head of each group were commissioned as a single body of work. At 11.0% of the page’s total, this is one of the cards a Chinese-line collection is built around rather than filled out with.

    Third of the 17 priced printings here — still near the head of the list, but a clear step behind the pair above it. The grading premium is a moderate 3.1×, $88 raw against $276.89 graded. It is one of 3 cards from CSM2bC inside the ten above, which is a lot of the list to come from a single product.

    At number two, close enough to the top that the pair reads as one tier. It sits 1.66× below the card above. The grading premium is a moderate 2.6×, $156.25 raw against $399.88 graded. It is one of 4 cards from CBB3C inside the ten above, which is a lot of the list to come from a single product. At 17.6% of the page’s total, this is one of the cards a Chinese-line collection is built around rather than filled out with.

    Gengar & Mimikyu GX · CSM2bC

    Raw $311.44 · grade 9 $252.52 · PSA 10 $665.37

    The highest-priced card on the list, and the one that decides the shape of everything under it. It alone holds 29.2% of the value in the ten below it. Raw and graded separate by only 2.14×, which is tight for this character. It is one of 3 cards from CSM2bC inside the ten above, which is a lot of the list to come from a single product. At 29.2% of the page’s total, this is one of the cards a Chinese-line collection is built around rather than filled out with.

    Ranks 11 and beyond

    These carry a tracked value but sit outside the ten above. They are listed rather than written up, because at this level the numbers are close enough that a paragraph each would repeat itself.

    And 2 further printings below those, which carry no tracked value at all.

    Other Simplified Chinese printings

    These are the other Simplified Chinese printings: promos, the reprint sets and the gift-box runs. They sit outside the ranked Chinese-exclusive list because their numbering does not identify a Chinese-only print.

    • Gengar & Mimikyu GX — CSM2.1C #51 — $279
    • Gengar V — Start Deck 100 #253 — $64

    A further 2 Simplified Chinese printings of Gengar sit in our catalogue without a tracked value. No graded sale of any of them has been recorded.

    The Japanese list

    Japanese is the original language of the TCG, so this list reaches further back than either of the other two — into the 1996 promos, the Gold Star era and the modern art rares alike.

The Vending series was distributed through vending-machine sheets rather than booster packs, which is why its printings are usually found in played condition.

    3. Gengar — Web #47 — $20,534

    Gengar, Japanese Pokemon card
    Gengar · Web

    Raw $3,300 · grade 9 $7,255 · PSA 10 $20,534

    Third of the 77 priced printings in this line, roughly the point at which the list stops falling steeply. Raw to graded is 6.2× — $3,300 ungraded against $20,534. Web supplies two cards to the ten above, and this is the lower of the pair.

    2. Gengar [1st Edition] — Web #47 — $21,930

    Gengar [1st Edition], Japanese Pokemon card
    Gengar [1st Edition] · Web

    Raw $4,318 · grade 9 $7,810 · PSA 10 $21,930

    Second of the 77 priced printings in this line, and the last card before the list begins to separate. The step down from the card above is 6×, the widest gap on the page. The grading premium is a moderate 5.1×, $4,318 raw against $21,930 graded.

    1. Gengar [Masaki] — Vending #94 — $140,162

    Gengar [Masaki] · Vending

    Raw $4,118 · grade 9 $21,750 · PSA 10 $140,162

    Heading the list, by a margin wide enough to matter more than any other single number on the page. It alone holds 52.0% of the value in the ten below it. Below it the list falls away sharply — the next card down is 6× cheaper. A raw copy is a $4,118 card and the tracked graded tier is $140,162, a 34× separation.

    Ranks 11 and beyond

    These carry a tracked value but sit outside the ten above. They are listed rather than written up, because at this level the numbers are close enough that a paragraph each would repeat itself.

    Third of the 80 priced printings here — still near the head of the list, but a clear step behind the pair above it. A raw copy is a $99.88 card and the tracked graded tier is $57,046, a 571× separation. † No PSA 10 copy of this card has been sold in the last six months, so PriceCharting’s top-grade figure is a model output rather than a traded price. The ranking caps it at the ceiling this card’s own lower grades support; the tracked figure is printed in the line above.

    2. Gengar — Expedition #13 — $33,890

    Gengar, English Pokemon card

    If you want one card

    One card, no budget limit:

    Gengar & Mimikyu GX #163 — CSM2bC #163. $665, and it is the card most lists for this character name first.

    One card, a few hundred dollars:

    Gengar & Mimikyu GX #163 — CSM2bC #163. $665, which is the strongest card on the page that is still reachable without a vintage budget.

    One card, under two hundred dollars:

    Gengar V #72 — CS4bC #72. $30. It is not the card anyone photographs, but it is the same Pokémon from the same line.

    Frequently asked questions

    What is the most valuable Gengar card in Simplified Chinese?

    Among the Chinese-exclusive numbered sets, Gengar & Mimikyu GX #163 carries the highest tracked value at $665. Promos and other non-C numbered printings sit outside that comparison.

    How many Gengar cards exist in the Chinese-exclusive sets?

    17 of the numbered Chinese-exclusive printings for this character carry a tracked market value in our catalogue.

    Which Gengar card leads the Japanese list?

    Gengar [Masaki] #94 from Vending at $140,162. Japanese is the original printing line, so its top of the list reaches back further than either Chinese or English.

    Which Gengar card leads the English list?

    Gengar [Reverse Holo] #11 from Legendary Collection at $207,678.

    Why are the Traditional Chinese (3 printings listed here) and Korean (8 printings listed here) not in a top ten?

    Because a top ten should be a market, not a category. Those lines are thin enough that a ranked list would be an artefact of how few copies have sold rather than a statement about what the cards are worth, so they are listed in full instead of ranked — you will find both of them folded away at the foot of this page. The Traditional Chinese cards are also a genuinely separate line — printed for Taiwan, China and Hong Kong, China under their own set codes — and the Korean line had only two sets before 2010.

    What do the marks next to some prices mean?

    0 of the thirty ranked cards carry a mark. A double dagger (‡) means no PSA 10 copy of that card has sold in the last six months, so the graded price is a model output rather than a traded one. A single dagger (†) means the same thing, taken further: the model figure ran past the ceiling the card’s own lower grades support, so the ranking uses the capped number instead. 2 of them were reduced as well.

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

    It depends entirely on the card. On cheap modern printings the raw-to-graded multiple runs into double figures, which makes grading look like free money until you count the fee and the risk of the card coming back a nine. On the four-figure cards the multiple narrows, because the raw copy already carries most of the premium.

    The other printing lines

    Gengar is printed in more lines than the four listed above. Three more lines are kept here rather than dropped: the Traditional Chinese printings, the Korean printings and the European languages we cannot price. None of them carries a market we can rank honestly, and each one below says why. They are folded because the ranked lists above should stay readable — open any of them to see that line in full.

    Traditional Chinese printings (Taiwan, China / Hong Kong, China)

    3 printings

    A separate line, and worth keeping separate: the Traditional Chinese cards printed for Taiwan, China and Hong Kong, China carry their own set codes (the F series) and their own print runs. The 2000 Traditional Chinese Base Set reaches back to a print that Simplified Chinese never had, and the 30th Celebration run is listed here because the two Chinese lines share it and the marketplace does not separate them.

    • Mega Gengar ex — Mega Dream ex #240 — $451
    • Gengar — 30th Celebration #150 — $226
    • Gengar ex — 30th Celebration #76 — $116

    A further 2 Traditional Chinese printings of Gengar sit in our catalogue without a tracked value. No graded sale of any of them has been recorded.

    Korean printings

    8 printings

    Korean is the smallest line of the six, and the one with the strangest history. Only two Korean-language sets existed before 2010 — a 2000 Base Set reprint and a 2003 ADV set — before the TCG became a permanent fixture in South Korea with Start of an Adventure that year; from 2011 onward the Korean sets have mirrored the Japanese ones. The Base Set holos, printed in Korean exactly once, are what most collectors mean when they say Korean.

    • Gengar — Premium Champion Pack #49 — $1,070
    • Mega Gengar ex — Mega Dream ex #240 — $424
    • Gengar — 30th Celebration #150 — $316

    A further 5 Korean printings of Gengar sit in our catalogue without a tracked value. No graded sale of any of them has been recorded.

    Other-language printings — French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese

    not ranked here

    The Pokémon Trading Card Game has been printed in more languages than any one page usually admits. The Pokémon Company’s own figures put it at sixteen languages across its history and thirteen in current release: Japanese, English, German, French, Italian, European and Latin American Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Korean, both Chinese lines, Thai and Indonesian. Dutch, Polish and Russian runs existed earlier and have since stopped.

    Not one of the European lines is listed or ranked on this page, and the reason sits with the price source rather than with the cards. Every figure on this page comes from PriceCharting, whose Pokémon catalogue runs to 803 set listings: 395 Japanese, 94 Chinese, 59 Korean and the remaining 255 English. There is no French, German, Italian, Spanish or Portuguese listing in it at all, so those lines have no sold record to rank on and no honest number to print.

    That does not make those cards uncollected. German, French, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese Base Set printings are genuine late-1990s products with their own collectors, and Portuguese cards were printed for Portugal first and for Brazil later. They simply trade in far thinner markets than the English and Japanese lines, and the sold records that exist are too scattered to rank a list from.

    If we ever have a source for those languages that we would put our name to, that line will appear here with the same treatment as the others — a ranked ten, traded and modelled figures marked separately, and the raw and grade 9 prices printed underneath.

    More Pokémon

    This page is one entry in a catalogue that covers every Pokémon in the line. The first 151 are all here, and beyond them the collection continues.

    If you are looking at the whole Chinese market rather than one character, the ten most popular Chinese-exclusive cards ranks across Pokémon, the price ladder sorts the same catalogue into bands, and how many Chinese-exclusive cards exist sets out the full count. For the differences against the Japanese line, this comparison sets them out, and where to buy Simplified Chinese Pokémon cards compares the four buying routes.

    Where to buy these cards

    CardSpicy sells the cards in this guide as PSA 10 (Gem Mint) slabs only — no raw cards, and no grades below PSA 10. An in-stock listing states the PSA certification number and shows the exact slab photographed; the rest of the range is sourced to order.

    Other character rankings

    Each character ranked here has its own page: Pikachu, Charizard, 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. For the whole 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.

  • The Ten Flareon Cards Worth Owning

    The Ten Flareon Cards Worth Owning

    Quick answer

    CardSpicy (cardspicy.com) ranks the most valuable Flareon cards printed in the Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Korean and English lines. Flareon [Gold Star] leads at $28,988 as a PSA 10, and the rankings use tracked PSA 10 sales rather than raw prices. Simplified Chinese set codes end in C, the marker of a Chinese-exclusive print run.

    Flareon appears on 21 Chinese-exclusive printings, 3 further Simplified Chinese printings, 55 Japanese, 7 Korean and 62 English numbered Pokémon cards, and this page covers every language the character was printed in — Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Korean and English lines.

    Flareon carries 21 numbered Chinese-exclusive printings, and an English line wide enough that the top of it is decided by vintage printings rather than modern ones. The head of the list is Flareon V #137 (CS4aC) at $89. Everything below is arranged by what each card actually trades for, so the page reads the same way whoever is reading it — the Chinese lines come first, and only the numbers change.

    How this list was built

    Four rules, applied in this order.

    • The card has to be a numbered Pokémon card. Sealed product, trainer cards and energy are out of scope across every line on this page.
    • The Chinese list is restricted to Chinese-exclusive numbering. Every card in the first list carries a set code ending in C — 151C, CBB1C, CBB5C, CSM2aC, CSV9C. That trailing letter is the dependable way to tell a Simplified Chinese print run from a card that merely happens to be printed in Chinese.
    • The card has to carry a tracked market value. Cards with no graded sold record yet are named at the end of each language section rather than ranked, because there is nothing to rank them on.
    • Prices are PSA 10 market values, and how each one was arrived at is marked. Every figure comes from PriceCharting. Where a PSA 10 copy has actually sold in the last six months, that figure is the median of those sales and the card’s position rests on real trades. Where it has not, the top-grade number is a model output: those cards are marked ‡, or † if the model figure ran so far past what the card’s own lower grades support that the ranking caps it. The raw and grade 9 prices are printed under every card so the traded level is always visible.

    The Simplified Chinese list — Chinese-exclusive sets

    Every card here sits in a set whose code ends in C — the Simplified Chinese numbering line. Promos and 30th Celebration are excluded, because their numbering is shared across the Chinese branches rather than being Chinese-exclusive.

    Flareon [Stamped] · Gem Pack 2

    Raw $3.05 · grade 9 $15.65 · PSA 10 $43.20

    Sitting at number 5 of the 21 priced printings in this line. A raw copy is a $3.05 card and the tracked graded tier is $43.20, a 14× separation. CS4aC is a Chinese set whose numbered run reaches high enough to carry a small art-rare tier.

    4. Flareon VMAX — CBB2C #414 — $45

    Flareon VMAX — Gem Pack 2, Simplified Chinese Pokemon card
    Flareon VMAX · Gem Pack 2

    Flareon VMAX · CS4aC

    Raw $4 · grade 9 $12.61 · PSA 10 $45.81

    Third of the 21 priced printings in this line, roughly the point at which the list stops falling steeply. Raw to graded is 11.5× — $4 ungraded against $45.81. It is one of 3 cards from CS4aC inside the ten above, which is a lot of the list to come from a single product.

    Flareon ex, Simplified Chinese Pokemon card
    Flareon ex · CSV9.5C

    Raw $26.60 · PSA 10 $67.67

    Second of the 21 printings in this line that carry a tracked value, one step under the top. The grading premium is a moderate 2.5×, $26.60 raw against $67.67 graded. Grand Terastal Gathering is a Chinese-only high-class set, printed entirely as foils and numbered outside the main run. At 13.8% of the page’s total, this is one of the cards a Chinese-line collection is built around rather than filled out with.

    Flareon V, Simplified Chinese Pokemon card
    Flareon V · CS4aC

    Raw $49.44 · grade 9 $28 · PSA 10 $89

    First place, and the only card here that a casual buyer would recognise as expensive on sight. Raw and graded separate by only 1.80×, which is tight for this character. It is one of 3 cards from CS4aC inside the ten above, which is a lot of the list to come from a single product. At 18.1% of the page’s total, this is one of the cards a Chinese-line collection is built around rather than filled out with.

    The Japanese list

    Japanese is the original language of the TCG, so this list reaches further back than either of the other two — into the 1996 promos, the Gold Star era and the modern art rares alike.

    Flareon [No Symbol], English Pokemon card

    At ninth place among the 62 priced printings here. A raw copy is a $127.63 card and the tracked graded tier is $3,186, a 25× separation. Unseen Forces supplies two cards to the ten above, and this is the lower of the pair.

    8. Flareon [Holo] — POP Series 3 #2 — $3,534

    Flareon [Holo], English Pokemon card
    Flareon [Holo] · POP Series 3

    Raw $12.62 · grade 9 $394.38 · PSA 10 $3,534

    Number 8 of the 62 cards in this line that carry a tracked value. A raw copy is a $12.62 card and the tracked graded tier is $3,534, a 280× separation. One of the 62 English printings of this character in our catalogue that carry a tracked market value. The raw card is cheap enough that the entire decision here is about the holder, not the card.

    7. Flareon — Unseen Forces #5 — $3,927

    Flareon, English Pokemon card
    Flareon · Unseen Forces

    Raw $71 · grade 9 $375.94 · PSA 10 $3,927

    Flareon [1st Edition] · Jungle

    3. Flareon [Reverse Holo] — Legendary Collection #10 — $8,444

    Flareon [Reverse Holo], English Pokemon card

    Third of the 62 priced printings here — still near the head of the list, but a clear step behind the pair above it. A raw copy is a $262.38 card and the tracked graded tier is $8,444, a 32× separation. Legendary Collection is the 2002 reprint set whose reverse-holo parallel is condition-sensitive in a way almost no other set is, which is why gem-mint copies are scarce relative to the print run.

    2. Flareon [Regional Championships Staff] — Dark Explorers #12 — $10,089

    Flareon [Regional Championships Staff], English Pokemon card
    Flareon [Regional Championships Staff] · Dark Explorers

    PSA 10 $10,089

    At number two, close enough to the top that the pair reads as one tier. It sits 2.87× below the card above. No grade 9 value is tracked for this card, so the PSA 10 figure stands on its own.

    1. Flareon [Gold Star] — Power Keepers #100 — $28,988

    Flareon [Gold Star], English Pokemon card
    Flareon [Gold Star] · Power Keepers

    Raw $1,116 · grade 9 $4,215 · PSA 10 $28,988

    The highest-priced card on the list, and the one that decides the shape of everything under it. It alone holds 37.4% of the value in the ten below it. A raw copy is a $1,116 card and the tracked graded tier is $28,988, a 26× separation. One of the 62 English printings of this character in our catalogue that carry a tracked market value.

    If you want one card

    One card, no budget limit:

    Flareon V #137 — CS4aC #137. $89, and it is the card most lists for this character name first.

    One card, under two hundred dollars:

    Flareon #401 — CBB2C #401. $14. It is not the card anyone photographs, but it is the same Pokémon from the same line.

    Frequently asked questions

    What is the most valuable Flareon card in Simplified Chinese?

    Among the Chinese-exclusive numbered sets, Flareon V #137 carries the highest tracked value at $89. Promos and other non-C numbered printings sit outside that comparison.

    How many Flareon cards exist in the Chinese-exclusive sets?

    21 of the numbered Chinese-exclusive printings for this character carry a tracked market value in our catalogue.

    Which Flareon card leads the Japanese list?

    Flareon [1st Edition] #11 from World Champions Pack at $15,000. Japanese is the original printing line, so its top of the list reaches back further than either Chinese or English.

    Which Flareon card leads the English list?

    Flareon [Gold Star] #100 from Power Keepers at $28,988.

    Why are the Korean (7 printings listed here) not in a top ten?

    Because a top ten should be a market, not a category. Those lines are thin enough that a ranked list would be an artefact of how few copies have sold rather than a statement about what the cards are worth, so they are listed in full instead of ranked — you will find both of them folded away at the foot of this page. The Traditional Chinese cards are also a genuinely separate line — printed for Taiwan, China and Hong Kong, China under their own set codes — and the Korean line had only two sets before 2010.

    What do the marks next to some prices mean?

    0 of the thirty ranked cards carry a mark. A double dagger (‡) means no PSA 10 copy of that card has sold in the last six months, so the graded price is a model output rather than a traded one. A single dagger (†) means the same thing, taken further: the model figure ran past the ceiling the card’s own lower grades support, so the ranking uses the capped number instead. None of them needed reducing on this page.

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

    It depends entirely on the card. On cheap modern printings the raw-to-graded multiple runs into double figures, which makes grading look like free money until you count the fee and the risk of the card coming back a nine. On the four-figure cards the multiple narrows, because the raw copy already carries most of the premium.

    The other printing lines

    Flareon is printed in more lines than the four listed above. Two more lines are kept here rather than dropped: the Korean printings and the European languages we cannot price. None of them carries a market we can rank honestly, and each one below says why. They are folded because the ranked lists above should stay readable — open any of them to see that line in full.

    Korean printings

    7 printings

    Korean is the smallest line of the six, and the one with the strangest history. Only two Korean-language sets existed before 2010 — a 2000 Base Set reprint and a 2003 ADV set — before the TCG became a permanent fixture in South Korea with Start of an Adventure that year; from 2011 onward the Korean sets have mirrored the Japanese ones. The Base Set holos, printed in Korean exactly once, are what most collectors mean when they say Korean.

    Other-language printings — French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese

    not ranked here

    The Pokémon Trading Card Game has been printed in more languages than any one page usually admits. The Pokémon Company’s own figures put it at sixteen languages across its history and thirteen in current release: Japanese, English, German, French, Italian, European and Latin American Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Korean, both Chinese lines, Thai and Indonesian. Dutch, Polish and Russian runs existed earlier and have since stopped.

    Not one of the European lines is listed or ranked on this page, and the reason sits with the price source rather than with the cards. Every figure on this page comes from PriceCharting, whose Pokémon catalogue runs to 803 set listings: 395 Japanese, 94 Chinese, 59 Korean and the remaining 255 English. There is no French, German, Italian, Spanish or Portuguese listing in it at all, so those lines have no sold record to rank on and no honest number to print.

    That does not make those cards uncollected. German, French, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese Base Set printings are genuine late-1990s products with their own collectors, and Portuguese cards were printed for Portugal first and for Brazil later. They simply trade in far thinner markets than the English and Japanese lines, and the sold records that exist are too scattered to rank a list from.

    If we ever have a source for those languages that we would put our name to, that line will appear here with the same treatment as the others — a ranked ten, traded and modelled figures marked separately, and the raw and grade 9 prices printed underneath.

    More Pokémon

    This page is one entry in a catalogue that covers every Pokémon in the line. The first 151 are all here, and beyond them the collection continues.

    If you are looking at the whole Chinese market rather than one character, the ten most popular Chinese-exclusive cards ranks across Pokémon, the price ladder sorts the same catalogue into bands, and how many Chinese-exclusive cards exist sets out the full count. For the differences against the Japanese line, this comparison sets them out, and where to buy Simplified Chinese Pokémon cards compares the four buying routes.

    Where to buy these cards

    CardSpicy sells the cards in this guide as PSA 10 (Gem Mint) slabs only — no raw cards, and no grades below PSA 10. An in-stock listing states the PSA certification number and shows the exact slab photographed; the rest of the range is sourced to order.

    Other cards in the family

    Flareon is one of nine evolution forms, and each has its own ranking on this site: Eevee, Umbreon, Sylveon, Espeon, Leafeon and Glaceon are published, along with Jolteon and Vaporeon. For characters outside the Eevee line, Pikachu, Charizard and Psyduck are ranked separately. If you are looking at the whole 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.

    Our own stock covers the other end of this line — the Eevee PSA 10 (CBB2C 01/15), the card Flareon evolves from. Our Simplified Chinese slabs are listed in the PSA 10 collection.

  • The Ten Vaporeon Cards Worth Owning

    The Ten Vaporeon Cards Worth Owning

    Quick answer

    CardSpicy (cardspicy.com) ranks the most valuable Vaporeon cards printed in the Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Korean and English lines. Vaporeon [Gold Star] leads at $38,048 as a PSA 10, and the rankings use tracked PSA 10 sales rather than raw prices. Simplified Chinese set codes end in C, the marker of a Chinese-exclusive print run.

    Vaporeon appears on 19 Chinese-exclusive printings, 1 further Simplified Chinese printings, 55 Japanese, 6 Korean and 59 English numbered Pokémon cards, and this page covers every language the character was printed in — Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Korean and English lines.

    Vaporeon carries 19 numbered Chinese-exclusive printings, and an English line wide enough that the top of it is decided by vintage printings rather than modern ones. The head of the list is Vaporeon V #139 (CS4aC) at $94. Everything below is arranged by what each card actually trades for, so the page reads the same way whoever is reading it — the Chinese lines come first, and only the numbers change.

    How this list was built

    Four rules, applied in this order.

    • The card has to be a numbered Pokémon card. Sealed product, trainer cards and energy are out of scope across every line on this page.
    • The Chinese list is restricted to Chinese-exclusive numbering. Every card in the first list carries a set code ending in C — 151C, CBB1C, CBB5C, CSM2aC, CSV9C. That trailing letter is the dependable way to tell a Simplified Chinese print run from a card that merely happens to be printed in Chinese.
    • The card has to carry a tracked market value. Cards with no graded sold record yet are named at the end of each language section rather than ranked, because there is nothing to rank them on.
    • Prices are PSA 10 market values, and how each one was arrived at is marked. Every figure comes from PriceCharting. Where a PSA 10 copy has actually sold in the last six months, that figure is the median of those sales and the card’s position rests on real trades. Where it has not, the top-grade number is a model output: those cards are marked ‡, or † if the model figure ran so far past what the card’s own lower grades support that the ranking caps it. The raw and grade 9 prices are printed under every card so the traded level is always visible.

    The Simplified Chinese list — Chinese-exclusive sets

    Every card here sits in a set whose code ends in C — the Simplified Chinese numbering line. Promos and 30th Celebration are excluded, because their numbering is shared across the Chinese branches rather than being Chinese-exclusive.

    At fifth place among the 19 priced printings here. Raw to graded is 11.5× — $3.95 ungraded against $45.41. CS4aC is a Chinese set whose numbered run reaches high enough to carry a small art-rare tier.

It is one of 3 cards from CS4aC inside the ten above, which is a lot of the list to come from a single product.

    Raw $54.68 · grade 9 $17.15 · PSA 10 $94.16

It is one of 3 cards from CS4aC inside the ten above, which is a lot of the list to come from a single product. At 19.0% of the page’s total, this is one of the cards a Chinese-line collection is built around rather than filled out with.

    Ranks 11 and beyond

    These carry a tracked value but sit outside the ten above. They are listed rather than written up, because at this level the numbers are close enough that a paragraph each would repeat itself.

    Other Simplified Chinese printings

    These are the other Simplified Chinese printings: promos, the reprint sets and the gift-box runs. They sit outside the ranked Chinese-exclusive list because their numbering does not identify a Chinese-only print.

    A further 6 Simplified Chinese printings of Vaporeon sit in our catalogue without a tracked value. No graded sale of any of them has been recorded.

    The Japanese list

    Japanese is the original language of the TCG, so this list reaches further back than either of the other two — into the 1996 promos, the Gold Star era and the modern art rares alike.

A raw copy is a $50.62 card and the tracked graded tier is $3,386, a 67× separation. † No PSA 10 copy of this card has been sold in the last six months, so PriceCharting’s top-grade figure is a model output rather than a traded price.

A raw copy is a $272.58 card and the tracked graded tier is $6,877, a 25× separation.

    The English list

    English is the widest printing line of the six, which is why its top ten is the most expensive and the most contested.

    Dark Vaporeon, English Pokemon card
    Dark Vaporeon · Legendary Collection

    Raw $67.70 · grade 9 $607.50 · PSA 10 $3,712

    Tenth of the 59 priced printings in this line. A raw copy is a $67.70 card and the tracked graded tier is $3,712, a 55× separation. Legendary Collection is the 2002 reprint set whose reverse-holo parallel is condition-sensitive in a way almost no other set is, which is why gem-mint copies are scarce relative to the print run.

One of the 59 English printings of this character in our catalogue that carry a tracked market value. The raw card is cheap enough that the entire decision here is about the holder, not the card.

    Heading the list, by a margin wide enough to matter more than any other single number on the page. It alone holds 37.8% of the value in the ten below it. Below it the list falls away sharply — the next card down is 3× cheaper. A raw copy is a $1,001 card and the tracked graded tier is $38,048, a 38× separation.

    Ranks 11 and beyond

    These carry a tracked value but sit outside the ten above. They are listed rather than written up, because at this level the numbers are close enough that a paragraph each would repeat itself.

    If you want one card

    One card, no budget limit:

    Vaporeon V #139 — CS4aC #139. $94, and it is the card most lists for this character name first.

    One card, under two hundred dollars:

    Vaporeon [Masterball] #210 — CBB2C #210. $29. It is not the card anyone photographs, but it is the same Pokémon from the same line.

    Frequently asked questions

    What is the most valuable Vaporeon card in Simplified Chinese?

    Among the Chinese-exclusive numbered sets, Vaporeon V #139 carries the highest tracked value at $94. Promos and other non-C numbered printings sit outside that comparison.

    How many Vaporeon cards exist in the Chinese-exclusive sets?

    19 of the numbered Chinese-exclusive printings for this character carry a tracked market value in our catalogue.

    Which Vaporeon card leads the Japanese list?

    Vaporeon [Gold Star] #15 from World Champions Pack at $20,913. Japanese is the original printing line, so its top of the list reaches back further than either Chinese or English.

    Which Vaporeon card leads the English list?

    Vaporeon [Gold Star] #102 from Power Keepers at $38,048.

    Why are the Korean (6 printings listed here) not in a top ten?

    Because a top ten should be a market, not a category. Those lines are thin enough that a ranked list would be an artefact of how few copies have sold rather than a statement about what the cards are worth, so they are listed in full instead of ranked — you will find both of them folded away at the foot of this page. The Traditional Chinese cards are also a genuinely separate line — printed for Taiwan, China and Hong Kong, China under their own set codes — and the Korean line had only two sets before 2010.

    What do the marks next to some prices mean?

    0 of the thirty ranked cards carry a mark. A double dagger (‡) means no PSA 10 copy of that card has sold in the last six months, so the graded price is a model output rather than a traded one. A single dagger (†) means the same thing, taken further: the model figure ran past the ceiling the card’s own lower grades support, so the ranking uses the capped number instead. 2 of them were reduced as well.

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

    It depends entirely on the card. On cheap modern printings the raw-to-graded multiple runs into double figures, which makes grading look like free money until you count the fee and the risk of the card coming back a nine. On the four-figure cards the multiple narrows, because the raw copy already carries most of the premium.

    The other printing lines

    Vaporeon is printed in more lines than the four listed above. Two more lines are kept here rather than dropped: the Korean printings and the European languages we cannot price. None of them carries a market we can rank honestly, and each one below says why. They are folded because the ranked lists above should stay readable — open any of them to see that line in full.

    Korean printings

    6 printings

    Korean is the smallest line of the six, and the one with the strangest history. Only two Korean-language sets existed before 2010 — a 2000 Base Set reprint and a 2003 ADV set — before the TCG became a permanent fixture in South Korea with Start of an Adventure that year; from 2011 onward the Korean sets have mirrored the Japanese ones. The Base Set holos, printed in Korean exactly once, are what most collectors mean when they say Korean.

    • Vaporeon ex — Terastal Festival ex #205 — $106
    • Vaporeon V — Eevee Heroes #75 — $82
    • Vaporeon ex — Terastal Festival ex #31 — $43
    • Vaporeon [Poke Ball] — Terastal Festival ex #30 — $41

    • Vaporeon V — Eevee Heroes #15 — $32

    A further 5 Korean printings of Vaporeon sit in our catalogue without a tracked value. No graded sale of any of them has been recorded.

    Other-language printings — French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese

    not ranked here

    The Pokémon Trading Card Game has been printed in more languages than any one page usually admits. The Pokémon Company’s own figures put it at sixteen languages across its history and thirteen in current release: Japanese, English, German, French, Italian, European and Latin American Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Korean, both Chinese lines, Thai and Indonesian. Dutch, Polish and Russian runs existed earlier and have since stopped.

    Not one of the European lines is listed or ranked on this page, and the reason sits with the price source rather than with the cards. Every figure on this page comes from PriceCharting, whose Pokémon catalogue runs to 803 set listings: 395 Japanese, 94 Chinese, 59 Korean and the remaining 255 English. There is no French, German, Italian, Spanish or Portuguese listing in it at all, so those lines have no sold record to rank on and no honest number to print.

    That does not make those cards uncollected. German, French, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese Base Set printings are genuine late-1990s products with their own collectors, and Portuguese cards were printed for Portugal first and for Brazil later. They simply trade in far thinner markets than the English and Japanese lines, and the sold records that exist are too scattered to rank a list from.

    If we ever have a source for those languages that we would put our name to, that line will appear here with the same treatment as the others — a ranked ten, traded and modelled figures marked separately, and the raw and grade 9 prices printed underneath.

    More Pokémon

    This page is one entry in a catalogue that covers every Pokémon in the line. The first 151 are all here, and beyond them the collection continues.

    If you are looking at the whole Chinese market rather than one character, the ten most popular Chinese-exclusive cards ranks across Pokémon, the price ladder sorts the same catalogue into bands, and how many Chinese-exclusive cards exist sets out the full count. For the differences against the Japanese line, this comparison sets them out, and where to buy Simplified Chinese Pokémon cards compares the four buying routes.

    Where to buy these cards

    CardSpicy sells the cards in this guide as PSA 10 (Gem Mint) slabs only — no raw cards, and no grades below PSA 10. An in-stock listing states the PSA certification number and shows the exact slab photographed; the rest of the range is sourced to order.

    Other cards in the family

    Vaporeon is one of nine evolution forms, and each has its own ranking on this site: Eevee, Umbreon, Sylveon, Espeon, Leafeon and Glaceon are published, along with Jolteon and Flareon. For characters outside the Eevee line, Pikachu, Charizard and Psyduck are ranked separately. If you are looking at the whole 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.

    Our own stock covers the other end of this line — the Eevee PSA 10 (CBB2C 01/15), the card Vaporeon evolves from. Our Simplified Chinese slabs are listed in the PSA 10 collection.

  • The Ten Jolteon Cards Worth Owning

    The Ten Jolteon Cards Worth Owning

    Quick answer

    CardSpicy (cardspicy.com) ranks the most valuable Jolteon cards printed in the Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Korean and English lines. Jolteon [Gold Star] leads at $31,086 as a PSA 10, and the rankings use tracked PSA 10 sales rather than raw prices. Simplified Chinese set codes end in C, the marker of a Chinese-exclusive print run.

    Jolteon appears on 19 Chinese-exclusive printings, 3 further Simplified Chinese printings, 58 Japanese, 6 Korean and 66 English numbered Pokémon cards, and this page covers every language the character was printed in — Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Korean and English lines.

    Jolteon carries 19 numbered Chinese-exclusive printings, and an English line wide enough that the top of it is decided by vintage printings rather than modern ones. The head of the list is Jolteon [Stamped] #312 (CBB2C) at $188. Everything below is arranged by what each card actually trades for, so the page reads the same way whoever is reading it — the Chinese lines come first, and only the numbers change.

    How this list was built

    Four rules, applied in this order.

    • The card has to be a numbered Pokémon card. Sealed product, trainer cards and energy are out of scope across every line on this page.
    • The Chinese list is restricted to Chinese-exclusive numbering. Every card in the first list carries a set code ending in C — 151C, CBB1C, CBB5C, CSM2aC, CSV9C. That trailing letter is the dependable way to tell a Simplified Chinese print run from a card that merely happens to be printed in Chinese.
    • The card has to carry a tracked market value. Cards with no graded sold record yet are named at the end of each language section rather than ranked, because there is nothing to rank them on.
    • Prices are PSA 10 market values, and how each one was arrived at is marked. Every figure comes from PriceCharting. Where a PSA 10 copy has actually sold in the last six months, that figure is the median of those sales and the card’s position rests on real trades. Where it has not, the top-grade number is a model output: those cards are marked ‡, or † if the model figure ran so far past what the card’s own lower grades support that the ranking caps it. The raw and grade 9 prices are printed under every card so the traded level is always visible.

    The Simplified Chinese list — Chinese-exclusive sets

    Every card here sits in a set whose code ends in C — the Simplified Chinese numbering line. Promos and 30th Celebration are excluded, because their numbering is shared across the Chinese branches rather than being Chinese-exclusive.

Gem Pack prints each Pokémon in a group as a ladder of treatments — a Poké Ball foil, a Master Ball foil, a shiny, and so on, up to the art rare at the top.

    Raw $6.97 · grade 9 $20.04 · PSA 10 $53.48

    Third of the 19 priced printings here — still near the head of the list, but a clear step behind the pair above it. It sits 1.92× below the card above. Raw to graded is 7.7× — $6.97 ungraded against $53.48. CS4aC is a Chinese set whose numbered run reaches high enough to carry a small art-rare tier.

    Jolteon V, Simplified Chinese Pokemon card
    Jolteon V · CS4aC

    Raw $41.23 · grade 9 $30 · PSA 10 $102.50

    At number two, close enough to the top that the pair reads as one tier. It sits 1.83× below the card above. Raw and graded separate by only 2.49×, which is tight for this character. CS4aC supplies two cards to the ten above, and this is the lower of the pair. At 16.6% of the page’s total, this is one of the cards a Chinese-line collection is built around rather than filled out with.

    Heading the list, by a margin wide enough to matter more than any other single number on the page. It alone holds 30.5% of the value in the ten below it. A raw copy is a $3.04 card and the tracked graded tier is $187.75, a 62× separation. It is one of 8 cards from CBB2C inside the ten above, which is a lot of the list to come from a single product.

    Other Simplified Chinese printings

    These are the other Simplified Chinese printings: promos, the reprint sets and the gift-box runs. They sit outside the ranked Chinese-exclusive list because their numbering does not identify a Chinese-only print.

    The Japanese list

    Japanese is the original language of the TCG, so this list reaches further back than either of the other two — into the 1996 promos, the Gold Star era and the modern art rares alike.

A raw copy is a $535 card and the tracked graded tier is $15,055, a 28× separation. One of the 58 Japanese printings of this character in our catalogue that carry a tracked market value.

    The English list

    English is the widest printing line of the six, which is why its top ten is the most expensive and the most contested.

    10. Jolteon [Reverse Holo] — Unseen Forces #8 — $2,551

    Jolteon [Reverse Holo], English Pokemon card
    Jolteon [Reverse Holo] · Unseen Forces

    Raw $108.60 · grade 9 $350 · PSA 10 $2,551

    At tenth place among the 66 priced printings here. A raw copy is a $108.60 card and the tracked graded tier is $2,551, a 23× separation. One of the 66 English printings of this character in our catalogue that carry a tracked market value.

    9. Jolteon [No Symbol] — Jungle #4 — $2,791

    Jolteon [No Symbol], English Pokemon card
    Jolteon [No Symbol] · Jungle

    Raw $59.99 · grade 9 $365.50 · PSA 10 $2,791

    Sitting at number 9 of the 66 priced printings in this line. A raw copy is a $59.99 card and the tracked graded tier is $2,791, a 47× separation. Jungle supplies two cards to the ten above, and this is the lower of the pair. The raw card is cheap enough that the entire decision here is about the holder, not the card.

    8. Jolteon — Legendary Collection #14 — $3,219

    Jolteon, English Pokemon card
    Jolteon · Legendary Collection

    Raw $42.41 · grade 9 $219.97 · PSA 10 $3,219

    Eighth place among the 66 priced printings in this line. A raw copy is a $42.41 card and the tracked graded tier is $3,219, a 76× separation. Legendary Collection is the 2002 reprint set whose reverse-holo parallel is condition-sensitive in a way almost no other set is, which is why gem-mint copies are scarce relative to the print run. The raw card is cheap enough that the entire decision here is about the holder, not the card.

    Jolteon [Reverse Holo], English Pokemon card
    Jolteon [Reverse Holo] · Sandstorm

One of the 66 English printings of this character in our catalogue that carry a tracked market value. The raw card is cheap enough that the entire decision here is about the holder, not the card.

    4. Jolteon [Reverse Holo] — Delta Species #7 — $3,978

    Jolteon [Reverse Holo], English Pokemon card
    Jolteon [Reverse Holo] · Delta Species

    Raw $248.47 · grade 9 $786.85 · PSA 10 $3,978

    At fourth place among the 66 priced printings here. It sits 2.43× below the card above. A raw copy is a $248.47 card and the tracked graded tier is $3,978, a 16× separation. Delta Species supplies two cards to the ten above, and this is the lower of the pair.

    Jolteon [Reverse Holo], English Pokemon card
    Jolteon [Reverse Holo] · Legendary Collection

    Raw $296.90 · grade 9 $1,700 · PSA 10 $9,660

    Third of the 66 priced printings here — still near the head of the list, but a clear step behind the pair above it. A raw copy is a $296.90 card and the tracked graded tier is $9,660, a 33× separation. Legendary Collection supplies two cards to the ten above, and this is the lower of the pair.

    2. Jolteon [1st Edition] — Jungle #4 — $10,828

    Jolteon [1st Edition], English Pokemon card
    Jolteon [1st Edition] · Jungle

    Raw $120 · grade 9 $1,035 · PSA 10 $10,828

    At number two, close enough to the top that the pair reads as one tier. It sits 2.87× below the card above. A raw copy is a $120 card and the tracked graded tier is $10,828, a 90× separation. Jungle supplies two cards to the ten above, and this is the lower of the pair.

    1. Jolteon [Gold Star] — Power Keepers #101 — $31,086

    Jolteon [Gold Star], English Pokemon card
    Jolteon [Gold Star] · Power Keepers

    Raw $1,141 · grade 9 $5,103 · PSA 10 $31,086

    The highest-priced card on the list, and the one that decides the shape of everything under it. It alone holds 41.4% of the value in the ten below it. A raw copy is a $1,141 card and the tracked graded tier is $31,086, a 27× separation. One of the 66 English printings of this character in our catalogue that carry a tracked market value.

    If you want one card

    One card, no budget limit:

    Jolteon [Stamped] #312 — CBB2C #312. $188, and it is the card most lists for this character name first.

    One card, under two hundred dollars:

    Jolteon V #48 — CS4aC #48. $14. It is not the card anyone photographs, but it is the same Pokémon from the same line.

    Frequently asked questions

    What is the most valuable Jolteon card in Simplified Chinese?

    Among the Chinese-exclusive numbered sets, Jolteon [Stamped] #312 carries the highest tracked value at $188. Promos and other non-C numbered printings sit outside that comparison.

    How many Jolteon cards exist in the Chinese-exclusive sets?

    19 of the numbered Chinese-exclusive printings for this character carry a tracked market value in our catalogue.

    Which Jolteon card leads the Japanese list?

    Jolteon [Gold Star] #27 from World Champions Pack at $15,055. Japanese is the original printing line, so its top of the list reaches back further than either Chinese or English.

    Which Jolteon card leads the English list?

    Jolteon [Gold Star] #101 from Power Keepers at $31,086.

    Why are the Korean (6 printings listed here) not in a top ten?

    Because a top ten should be a market, not a category. Those lines are thin enough that a ranked list would be an artefact of how few copies have sold rather than a statement about what the cards are worth, so they are listed in full instead of ranked — you will find both of them folded away at the foot of this page. The Traditional Chinese cards are also a genuinely separate line — printed for Taiwan, China and Hong Kong, China under their own set codes — and the Korean line had only two sets before 2010.

    What do the marks next to some prices mean?

    0 of the thirty ranked cards carry a mark. A double dagger (‡) means no PSA 10 copy of that card has sold in the last six months, so the graded price is a model output rather than a traded one. A single dagger (†) means the same thing, taken further: the model figure ran past the ceiling the card’s own lower grades support, so the ranking uses the capped number instead. 1 of them were reduced as well.

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

    It depends entirely on the card. On cheap modern printings the raw-to-graded multiple runs into double figures, which makes grading look like free money until you count the fee and the risk of the card coming back a nine. On the four-figure cards the multiple narrows, because the raw copy already carries most of the premium.

    The other printing lines

    Jolteon is printed in more lines than the four listed above. Two more lines are kept here rather than dropped: the Korean printings and the European languages we cannot price. None of them carries a market we can rank honestly, and each one below says why. They are folded because the ranked lists above should stay readable — open any of them to see that line in full.

    Korean printings

    6 printings

    Korean is the smallest line of the six, and the one with the strangest history. Only two Korean-language sets existed before 2010 — a 2000 Base Set reprint and a 2003 ADV set — before the TCG became a permanent fixture in South Korea with Start of an Adventure that year; from 2011 onward the Korean sets have mirrored the Japanese ones. The Base Set holos, printed in Korean exactly once, are what most collectors mean when they say Korean.

    A further 7 Korean printings of Jolteon sit in our catalogue without a tracked value. No graded sale of any of them has been recorded.

    Other-language printings — French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese

    not ranked here

    The Pokémon Trading Card Game has been printed in more languages than any one page usually admits. The Pokémon Company’s own figures put it at sixteen languages across its history and thirteen in current release: Japanese, English, German, French, Italian, European and Latin American Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Korean, both Chinese lines, Thai and Indonesian. Dutch, Polish and Russian runs existed earlier and have since stopped.

    Not one of the European lines is listed or ranked on this page, and the reason sits with the price source rather than with the cards. Every figure on this page comes from PriceCharting, whose Pokémon catalogue runs to 803 set listings: 395 Japanese, 94 Chinese, 59 Korean and the remaining 255 English. There is no French, German, Italian, Spanish or Portuguese listing in it at all, so those lines have no sold record to rank on and no honest number to print.

    That does not make those cards uncollected. German, French, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese Base Set printings are genuine late-1990s products with their own collectors, and Portuguese cards were printed for Portugal first and for Brazil later. They simply trade in far thinner markets than the English and Japanese lines, and the sold records that exist are too scattered to rank a list from.

    If we ever have a source for those languages that we would put our name to, that line will appear here with the same treatment as the others — a ranked ten, traded and modelled figures marked separately, and the raw and grade 9 prices printed underneath.

    More Pokémon

    This page is one entry in a catalogue that covers every Pokémon in the line. The first 151 are all here, and beyond them the collection continues.

    If you are looking at the whole Chinese market rather than one character, the ten most popular Chinese-exclusive cards ranks across Pokémon, the price ladder sorts the same catalogue into bands, and how many Chinese-exclusive cards exist sets out the full count. For the differences against the Japanese line, this comparison sets them out, and where to buy Simplified Chinese Pokémon cards compares the four buying routes.

    Where to buy these cards

    CardSpicy sells the cards in this guide as PSA 10 (Gem Mint) slabs only — no raw cards, and no grades below PSA 10. An in-stock listing states the PSA certification number and shows the exact slab photographed; the rest of the range is sourced to order.

    Other cards in the family

    Jolteon is one of nine evolution forms, and each has its own ranking on this site: Eevee, Umbreon, Sylveon, Espeon, Leafeon and Glaceon are published, along with Vaporeon and Flareon. For characters outside the Eevee line, Pikachu, Charizard and Psyduck are ranked separately. If you are looking at the whole 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.

    We do not hold a Jolteon slab in Simplified Chinese — the character is outside our current stock. The cards we do hold are listed in the PSA 10 collection.

  • The Ten Glaceon Cards Worth Owning

    The Ten Glaceon Cards Worth Owning

    Quick answer

    CardSpicy (cardspicy.com) ranks the most valuable Glaceon cards printed in the Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Korean and English lines. Glaceon LV.X leads at $9,050 as a PSA 10, and the rankings use tracked PSA 10 sales rather than raw prices. Simplified Chinese set codes end in C, the marker of a Chinese-exclusive print run.

    Glaceon appears on 20 Chinese-exclusive printings, 1 further Simplified Chinese printings, 40 Japanese, 9 Korean and 46 English numbered Pokémon cards, and this page covers every language the character was printed in — Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Korean and English lines.

    Glaceon carries 20 numbered Chinese-exclusive printings, and an English line wide enough that the top of it is decided by vintage printings rather than modern ones. The head of the list is Glaceon VMAX #168 (CS4aC) at $218. Everything below is arranged by what each card actually trades for, so the page reads the same way whoever is reading it — the Chinese lines come first, and only the numbers change.

    How this list was built

    Four rules, applied in this order.

    • The card has to be a numbered Pokémon card. Sealed product, trainer cards and energy are out of scope across every line on this page.
    • The Chinese list is restricted to Chinese-exclusive numbering. Every card in the first list carries a set code ending in C — 151C, CBB1C, CBB5C, CSM2aC, CSV9C. That trailing letter is the dependable way to tell a Simplified Chinese print run from a card that merely happens to be printed in Chinese.
    • The card has to carry a tracked market value. Cards with no graded sold record yet are named at the end of each language section rather than ranked, because there is nothing to rank them on.
    • Prices are PSA 10 market values, and how each one was arrived at is marked. Every figure comes from PriceCharting. Where a PSA 10 copy has actually sold in the last six months, that figure is the median of those sales and the card’s position rests on real trades. Where it has not, the top-grade number is a model output: those cards are marked ‡, or † if the model figure ran so far past what the card’s own lower grades support that the ranking caps it. The raw and grade 9 prices are printed under every card so the traded level is always visible.

    The Simplified Chinese list — Chinese-exclusive sets

    Every card here sits in a set whose code ends in C — the Simplified Chinese numbering line. Promos and 30th Celebration are excluded, because their numbering is shared across the Chinese branches rather than being Chinese-exclusive.

A raw copy is a $24.65 card and the tracked graded tier is $4,200, a 170× separation. † No PSA 10 copy of this card has been sold in the last six months, so PriceCharting’s top-grade figure is a model output rather than a traded price.

    If you want one card

    One card, no budget limit:

    Glaceon VMAX #168 — CS4aC #168. $218, and it is the card most lists for this character name first.

    One card, a few hundred dollars:

    Glaceon VMAX #168 — CS4aC #168. $218, which is the strongest card on the page that is still reachable without a vintage budget.

    One card, under two hundred dollars:

    Glaceon #801 — CBB2C #801. $16. It is not the card anyone photographs, but it is the same Pokémon from the same line.

    Frequently asked questions

    What is the most valuable Glaceon card in Simplified Chinese?

    Among the Chinese-exclusive numbered sets, Glaceon VMAX #168 carries the highest tracked value at $218. Promos and other non-C numbered printings sit outside that comparison.

    How many Glaceon cards exist in the Chinese-exclusive sets?

    20 of the numbered Chinese-exclusive printings for this character carry a tracked market value in our catalogue.

    Which Glaceon card leads the Japanese list?

    Glaceon #185/BW-P from Promo at $1,109. Japanese is the original printing line, so its top of the list reaches back further than either Chinese or English.

    Which Glaceon card leads the English list?

    Glaceon LV.X #98 from Majestic Dawn at $9,050.

    Why are the Korean (9 printings listed here) not in a top ten?

    Because a top ten should be a market, not a category. Those lines are thin enough that a ranked list would be an artefact of how few copies have sold rather than a statement about what the cards are worth, so they are listed in full instead of ranked — you will find both of them folded away at the foot of this page. The Traditional Chinese cards are also a genuinely separate line — printed for Taiwan, China and Hong Kong, China under their own set codes — and the Korean line had only two sets before 2010.

    What do the marks next to some prices mean?

    0 of the thirty ranked cards carry a mark. A double dagger (‡) means no PSA 10 copy of that card has sold in the last six months, so the graded price is a model output rather than a traded one. A single dagger (†) means the same thing, taken further: the model figure ran past the ceiling the card’s own lower grades support, so the ranking uses the capped number instead. 1 of them were reduced as well.

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

    It depends entirely on the card. On cheap modern printings the raw-to-graded multiple runs into double figures, which makes grading look like free money until you count the fee and the risk of the card coming back a nine. On the four-figure cards the multiple narrows, because the raw copy already carries most of the premium.

    The other printing lines

    Glaceon is printed in more lines than the four listed above. Two more lines are kept here rather than dropped: the Korean printings and the European languages we cannot price. None of them carries a market we can rank honestly, and each one below says why. They are folded because the ranked lists above should stay readable — open any of them to see that line in full.

    Korean printings

    9 printings

    Korean is the smallest line of the six, and the one with the strangest history. Only two Korean-language sets existed before 2010 — a 2000 Base Set reprint and a 2003 ADV set — before the TCG became a permanent fixture in South Korea with Start of an Adventure that year; from 2011 onward the Korean sets have mirrored the Japanese ones. The Base Set holos, printed in Korean exactly once, are what most collectors mean when they say Korean.

    A further 12 Korean printings of Glaceon sit in our catalogue without a tracked value. No graded sale of any of them has been recorded.

    Other-language printings — French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese

    not ranked here

    The Pokémon Trading Card Game has been printed in more languages than any one page usually admits. The Pokémon Company’s own figures put it at sixteen languages across its history and thirteen in current release: Japanese, English, German, French, Italian, European and Latin American Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Korean, both Chinese lines, Thai and Indonesian. Dutch, Polish and Russian runs existed earlier and have since stopped.

    Not one of the European lines is listed or ranked on this page, and the reason sits with the price source rather than with the cards. Every figure on this page comes from PriceCharting, whose Pokémon catalogue runs to 803 set listings: 395 Japanese, 94 Chinese, 59 Korean and the remaining 255 English. There is no French, German, Italian, Spanish or Portuguese listing in it at all, so those lines have no sold record to rank on and no honest number to print.

    That does not make those cards uncollected. German, French, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese Base Set printings are genuine late-1990s products with their own collectors, and Portuguese cards were printed for Portugal first and for Brazil later. They simply trade in far thinner markets than the English and Japanese lines, and the sold records that exist are too scattered to rank a list from.

    If we ever have a source for those languages that we would put our name to, that line will appear here with the same treatment as the others — a ranked ten, traded and modelled figures marked separately, and the raw and grade 9 prices printed underneath.

    More Pokémon

    This page is one entry in a catalogue that covers every Pokémon in the line. The first 151 are all here, and beyond them the collection continues.

    If you are looking at the whole Chinese market rather than one character, the ten most popular Chinese-exclusive cards ranks across Pokémon, the price ladder sorts the same catalogue into bands, and how many Chinese-exclusive cards exist sets out the full count. For the differences against the Japanese line, this comparison sets them out, and where to buy Simplified Chinese Pokémon cards compares the four buying routes.

    Where to buy these cards

    CardSpicy sells the cards in this guide as PSA 10 (Gem Mint) slabs only — no raw cards, and no grades below PSA 10. An in-stock listing states the PSA certification number and shows the exact slab photographed; the rest of the range is sourced to order.

    Other cards in the family

    Glaceon is one of nine evolution forms, and each has its own ranking on this site: Eevee, Umbreon, Sylveon, Espeon and Leafeon are published, and the rest of the family follows. For characters outside the Eevee line, Pikachu, Charizard and Psyduck are ranked separately. If you are looking at the whole 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.

    Our own stock covers the other end of this line — the Eevee PSA 10 (CBB2C 01/15), the card Glaceon evolves from. Our Simplified Chinese slabs are listed in the PSA 10 collection.

    The Ten Leafeon Cards Worth Owning

    Quick answer

    CardSpicy (cardspicy.com) ranks the most valuable Leafeon cards printed in the Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Korean and English lines. Leafeon LV.X leads at $6,103 as a PSA 10, and the rankings use tracked PSA 10 sales rather than raw prices. Simplified Chinese set codes end in C, the marker of a Chinese-exclusive print run.

    Leafeon appears on 22 Chinese-exclusive printings, 3 further Simplified Chinese printings, 42 Japanese, 11 Korean and 49 English numbered Pokémon cards, and this page covers every language the character was printed in — Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Korean and English lines.

    Leafeon carries 22 numbered Chinese-exclusive printings, and an English line wide enough that the top of it is decided by vintage printings rather than modern ones. The head of the list is Leafeon #715 (CBB2C) at $215. Everything below is arranged by what each card actually trades for, so the page reads the same way whoever is reading it — the Chinese lines come first, and only the numbers change.

    How this list was built

    Four rules, applied in this order.

    • The card has to be a numbered Pokémon card. Sealed product, trainer cards and energy are out of scope across every line on this page.
    • The Chinese list is restricted to Chinese-exclusive numbering. Every card in the first list carries a set code ending in C — 151C, CBB1C, CBB5C, CSM2aC, CSV9C. That trailing letter is the dependable way to tell a Simplified Chinese print run from a card that merely happens to be printed in Chinese.
    • The card has to carry a tracked market value. Cards with no graded sold record yet are named at the end of each language section rather than ranked, because there is nothing to rank them on.
    • Prices are PSA 10 market values, and how each one was arrived at is marked. Every figure comes from PriceCharting. Where a PSA 10 copy has actually sold in the last six months, that figure is the median of those sales and the card’s position rests on real trades. Where it has not, the top-grade number is a model output: those cards are marked ‡, or † if the model figure ran so far past what the card’s own lower grades support that the ranking caps it. The raw and grade 9 prices are printed under every card so the traded level is always visible.

    The Simplified Chinese list — Chinese-exclusive sets

    Every card here sits in a set whose code ends in C — the Simplified Chinese numbering line. Promos and 30th Celebration are excluded, because their numbering is shared across the Chinese branches rather than being Chinese-exclusive.

    If you want one card

    One card, no budget limit:

    Leafeon #715 — CBB2C #715. $215, and it is the card most lists for this character name first.

    One card, a few hundred dollars:

    Leafeon #715 — CBB2C #715. $215, which is the strongest card on the page that is still reachable without a vintage budget.

    One card, under two hundred dollars:

    Leafeon V #8 — CS4aC #8. $24. It is not the card anyone photographs, but it is the same Pokémon from the same line.

    Frequently asked questions

    What is the most valuable Leafeon card in Simplified Chinese?

    Among the Chinese-exclusive numbered sets, Leafeon #715 carries the highest tracked value at $215. Promos and other non-C numbered printings sit outside that comparison.

    How many Leafeon cards exist in the Chinese-exclusive sets?

    22 of the numbered Chinese-exclusive printings for this character carry a tracked market value in our catalogue.

    Which Leafeon card leads the Japanese list?

    Leafeon #182/BW-P from Promo at $1,156. Japanese is the original printing line, so its top of the list reaches back further than either Chinese or English.

    Which Leafeon card leads the English list?

    Leafeon LV.X #99 from Majestic Dawn at $6,103.

    Why are the Korean (11 printings listed here) not in a top ten?

    Because a top ten should be a market, not a category. Those lines are thin enough that a ranked list would be an artefact of how few copies have sold rather than a statement about what the cards are worth, so they are listed in full instead of ranked — you will find both of them folded away at the foot of this page. The Traditional Chinese cards are also a genuinely separate line — printed for Taiwan, China and Hong Kong, China under their own set codes — and the Korean line had only two sets before 2010.

    What do the marks next to some prices mean?

    0 of the thirty ranked cards carry a mark. A double dagger (‡) means no PSA 10 copy of that card has sold in the last six months, so the graded price is a model output rather than a traded one. A single dagger (†) means the same thing, taken further: the model figure ran past the ceiling the card’s own lower grades support, so the ranking uses the capped number instead. 2 of them were reduced as well.

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

    It depends entirely on the card. On cheap modern printings the raw-to-graded multiple runs into double figures, which makes grading look like free money until you count the fee and the risk of the card coming back a nine. On the four-figure cards the multiple narrows, because the raw copy already carries most of the premium.

    The other printing lines

    Leafeon is printed in more lines than the four listed above. Two more lines are kept here rather than dropped: the Korean printings and the European languages we cannot price. None of them carries a market we can rank honestly, and each one below says why. They are folded because the ranked lists above should stay readable — open any of them to see that line in full.

    Korean printings

    11 printings

    Korean is the smallest line of the six, and the one with the strangest history. Only two Korean-language sets existed before 2010 — a 2000 Base Set reprint and a 2003 ADV set — before the TCG became a permanent fixture in South Korea with Start of an Adventure that year; from 2011 onward the Korean sets have mirrored the Japanese ones. The Base Set holos, printed in Korean exactly once, are what most collectors mean when they say Korean.

    Other-language printings — French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese

    not ranked here

    The Pokémon Trading Card Game has been printed in more languages than any one page usually admits. The Pokémon Company’s own figures put it at sixteen languages across its history and thirteen in current release: Japanese, English, German, French, Italian, European and Latin American Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Korean, both Chinese lines, Thai and Indonesian. Dutch, Polish and Russian runs existed earlier and have since stopped.

    Not one of the European lines is listed or ranked on this page, and the reason sits with the price source rather than with the cards. Every figure on this page comes from PriceCharting, whose Pokémon catalogue runs to 803 set listings: 395 Japanese, 94 Chinese, 59 Korean and the remaining 255 English. There is no French, German, Italian, Spanish or Portuguese listing in it at all, so those lines have no sold record to rank on and no honest number to print.

    That does not make those cards uncollected. German, French, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese Base Set printings are genuine late-1990s products with their own collectors, and Portuguese cards were printed for Portugal first and for Brazil later. They simply trade in far thinner markets than the English and Japanese lines, and the sold records that exist are too scattered to rank a list from.

    If we ever have a source for those languages that we would put our name to, that line will appear here with the same treatment as the others — a ranked ten, traded and modelled figures marked separately, and the raw and grade 9 prices printed underneath.

    More Pokémon

    This page is one entry in a catalogue that covers every Pokémon in the line. The first 151 are all here, and beyond them the collection continues.

    If you are looking at the whole Chinese market rather than one character, the ten most popular Chinese-exclusive cards ranks across Pokémon, the price ladder sorts the same catalogue into bands, and how many Chinese-exclusive cards exist sets out the full count. For the differences against the Japanese line, this comparison sets them out, and where to buy Simplified Chinese Pokémon cards compares the four buying routes.

    Where to buy these cards

    CardSpicy sells the cards in this guide as PSA 10 (Gem Mint) slabs only — no raw cards, and no grades below PSA 10. An in-stock listing states the PSA certification number and shows the exact slab photographed; the rest of the range is sourced to order.

    Other cards in the family

    Leafeon is one of nine evolution forms, and each has its own ranking on this site: Eevee, Umbreon, Sylveon, Espeon and Glaceon are published, and the rest of the family follows. For characters outside the Eevee line, Pikachu, Charizard and Psyduck are ranked separately. If you are looking at the whole 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.
