Across the Simplified Chinese sets Chansey is 4 products, with Gem Pack Vol. 5 alone printing 7 of the 16 cards. The top card is Chansey #407 at $105.89, and no single card holds more than 22 percent of the graded value.
What makes the shape worth reading is where the cards sit. 7 of the 16 Chansey cards come out of Gem Pack Vol. 5 as a run from #401 to #407, and that one line supplies 6 of the 9 ranked cards — 74 percent of the character’s graded value. The first card outside that line is Chansey [Masterball] from Gem Pack Vol. 1, which reaches number 3 at $52.
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 — CBB5C, CBB1C, 151C and csv8C. 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. 16 Chansey cards exist across these sets and 9 have a PSA 10 price on record. The 7 that do not are Chansey [Master Ball] #113, Chansey [Reverse] #113 and 5 more — none of them has a graded sold record yet, and a card with no price cannot be ranked.
- The card has to be a Pokémon card. Sealed product, trainer cards and energy are out of scope.
One exclusion applies here as it does to every character ranking we publish. Promo printings of Chansey exist in Chinese and they are not on this list. Promo numbering is shared across the Chinese branches — the same promo number appears in Traditional Chinese product as well — so a promo number on its own cannot establish which branch a card came from. Everything below sits inside a numbered set whose code ends in C, which is unambiguous.
The five, ranked
1. Chansey #407 — Gem Pack Vol. 5 (CBB5C) — $105.89
Raw $11.18 · grade 9 $26
First on the list and part of the Gem Pack Vol. 5 Chansey group, which runs from #401 to #407. Its raw price of $11.18 multiplies 9.5 times into the graded value.
2. Chansey #401 — Gem Pack Vol. 5 (CBB5C) — $104.27
Raw $15.54 · grade 9 $30.73
Sitting at 2 of 9 and a Gem Pack Vol. 5 card inside the #401 to #407 run. The step below it is $52, wider than any other gap on the page. The raw-to-graded multiple is a modest 6.7.
3. Chansey [Masterball] #1504 — Gem Pack Vol. 1 (CBB1C) — $52
Raw $1.73 · grade 9 $13.07
Ranked 3 of 9 and the print that interrupts the Gem Pack Vol. 5 run. At $1.73 raw against $52 graded it multiplies 30.1 times.
4. Chansey #406 — Gem Pack Vol. 5 (CBB5C) — $40.22
Raw $2.14 · grade 9 $12.86
Number 4 of 9 and part of the Gem Pack Vol. 5 Chansey group, which runs from #401 to #407. It edges the card beneath it by less than a dollar, a margin too narrow to carry a whole position. The raw-to-graded step here is 18.8 times.
5. Chansey #113 — Collect 151 (151C) — $39.63
Raw $1.99 · grade 9 $13.51
Sitting at 5 of 9 and a Collect 151 print outside the main line. Less than a dollar separates it from the card below. Less than a dollar separates it from the card above. Its raw price of $1.99 multiplies 19.9 times into the graded value. Number 113 in Collect 151 is Chansey’s entry in the set of the original 151 Pokémon, the only product where every one of them has a card.
What the ranking shows
Chansey splits into 2 bands across 9 priced cards, and the top band is where the ranking is decided.
| Band | Cards | Combined PSA 10 value | Share of total |
|---|---|---|---|
| $52 – $106 — ranked 1 to 3 | 3 | $262 | 53.3% |
| $36 – $40 — ranked 4 to 9 | 6 | $229 | 46.7% |
| Every priced Chansey card | 9 | $491 | 100% |
Two further patterns run across the whole group.
The multiples are not uniform. Raw-to-graded ratios across the list run from 6.7 to 30.1 — a spread that says the raw market and the graded market are pricing these prints off different information.
The band is $70 wide. Between $105.89 at the top and $35.97 at the bottom, the whole ranked list sits inside a $70 window — narrow enough that assembling the entire run costs close to what the first card costs alone.
Where Chansey is printed
| Product | Set code | Chansey cards | With a PSA 10 value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gem Pack Vol. 5 | CBB5C | 7 | 6 |
| Gem Pack Vol. 1 | CBB1C | 5 | 2 |
| Collect 151 | 151C | 3 | 1 |
| Brilliant Fantasy | csv8C | 1 | 0 |
| Total | 16 | 9 |
Gem Pack Vol. 5 supplies 7 of the 16 Chansey cards and 74 percent of the $491 total, because the expensive cards are inside that line. Collect 151 prints Chansey as one of the original 151, and those prints are priced generously relative to the Gem Pack foils. 7 of the 16 cards carry no price at all, so the checklist in the table above is longer than the ranking it supports. If the goal is the group rather than the single card, completing a Simplified Chinese set sets out what a full run involves.
If you want one card
- One card, no budget limit: Chansey #407 from Gem Pack Vol. 5 at $105.89. It is the highest-priced Chansey card in these sets.
- The second line: Chansey #401 from Gem Pack Vol. 5 at $104.27, the second-highest Chansey card in these sets and the next step down from the top.
- The Kanto print: Chansey #113 from Collect 151 at $39.63 — the character’s entry in the set of the original 151, and the only Chansey card that exists in that product.
- If you want the whole shelf: 5 of the 9 ranked cards sit at $40 or below, inside a few dollars of each other, so the lower rungs can be assembled in one go.
Frequently asked questions
How many Chansey cards are there in Simplified Chinese?
16, across 4 products. 9 of the 16 carry a tracked PSA 10 value.
What is the most valuable Chansey card in Simplified Chinese?
Chansey #407 from Gem Pack Vol. 5, tracked at $105.89 as a PSA 10 and $11.18 raw. It is the only Chansey card in these sets above $104, and it holds 22 percent of the character’s combined value.
Why is there a Collect 151 Chansey card on the list?
Because Chansey is one of the original 151 Pokémon and Collect 151 prints every one of them. It lands at number 5 at $39.63. Characters from later generations are not in that set, so they have no Kanto print to break a Gem Pack run.
Is a PSA 10 worth the premium over a raw card?
Raw-to-graded multiples across the list run from 6.7 to 30.1, so on most cards the graded premium is real. Where the multiple is lowest, the raw price already carries most of the value. Grading outcomes are never certain, and nothing here is a prediction about what any individual card will grade at.
Do the Collect 151 prints come in more than one treatment?
Yes. A number in Collect 151 exists as a plain card, a reverse holo and a Master Ball reverse holo. Only the plain print usually trades enough to have a price attached. The series guide explains the two reverse holo patterns.
Other character rankings
Each character with a full five or ten-card ranking has its own page: Ceruledge, Charizard, Eevee, Espeon, Flareon, Floragato, Gengar, Glaceon, Jolteon, Leafeon, Mew, Pikachu, Sylveon, Umbreon, Vaporeon, and among the shorter runs Alakazam, Applin, Articuno, Blastoise, Captain Pikachu, Chandelure, Charmander, Clefable, Crocalor, Cubone, Fuecoco, Growlithe.
Beyond the single character, the ten most popular Chinese-exclusive cards ranks across Pokémon, the price ladder sorts the same catalogue into bands, and the collector’s index lists every Pokémon that appears in the Chinese-only sets with its card count, priced count and top value.
