Glaceon has the lowest combined value of any character in the Eevee family. Twenty-six cards exist in the Chinese-only sets, twenty of them priced, and the total across all twenty is barely a fifth of what Umbreon is worth.
What it does have is the steepest grading multiples in the family. Because so many of its cards come from the low rungs of Gem Pack, raw copies trade for two dollars and graded ones for forty. That ratio is higher than any other evolution form we have measured. This is the ranked ten, with the PSA 10 value of each and what a raw copy costs beside it.
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 — CS4aC, CBB2C, CSV7C, CSV9.5C. 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. Twenty-six Glaceon cards exist across these sets and twenty of them have a PSA 10 price on record. The six that do not are recent enough that graded copies have not changed hands yet, and a card with no price cannot be ranked. All six are CSV7C or Grand Terastal Gathering printings.
- 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 Glaceon 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 ten, ranked
10. Glaceon [Stars] #806 — Gem Pack Vol. 2 (CBB2C) — $39
Raw $2.19 · grade 9 $4.93
A Stars foil from Gem Pack Vol. 2, and the tenth card here at $39. Eighteen times its raw price in a PSA 10 holder, with grade 9 tracking at only $4.93 — on this card the mid grade is barely worth more than the raw one, so the whole step up is the top grade.
9. Glaceon VMAX — CS4aC #35 — $40
Raw $2.47 · grade 9 $14.77
The lowest-numbered CS4aC printing in this top ten, and the first card here where the VMAX tier appears. Sixteen times its raw price graded — and unlike the Stars foil below it, the grade 9 on this card does carry real value, at more than five times raw.
8. Glaceon [Stamped] #811 — Gem Pack Vol. 2 (CBB2C) — $45
Raw $2.09 · grade 9 $13.09
The lower of two stamped Glaceon foils in the Vol. 2 group. This is the lowest raw price in the top ten at $2.09, which makes its twenty-one-times multiple to a PSA 10 the steepest here apart from the art rare.
7. Glaceon [Stamped] #812 — Gem Pack Vol. 2 (CBB2C) — $46
Raw $2.99 · grade 9 $14.42
The higher of the two stamped foils, at $46 against $45. A dollar separates them in a PSA 10 holder while their raw prices differ by ninety cents — two rungs of the same ladder that the market treats as one card.
6. Glaceon VMAX #814 — Gem Pack Vol. 2 (CBB2C) — $50
Raw $4.76 · grade 9 $16.72
The top of the Vol. 2 ladder below the art rare, and the last card in this top ten at $50 or under. Everything above it comes from CS4aC or is the art rare itself.
5. Glaceon V — CS4aC #140 — $65
Raw $8.59 · grade 9 $24.96
The lower of the two CS4aC V cards, and the first card in this list above the $60 mark. CS4aC prints Glaceon at two quality levels — V and VMAX, three cards each — and both tiers appear in this top ten.
4. Glaceon VMAX — CS4aC #167 — $73
Raw $10.99 · grade 9 $28.54
The lower of the two CS4aC VMAX printings on this list, at $73. It is the last card below $75, and everything from here up is separated by much wider gaps.
3. Glaceon V — Gem Pack Vol. 2 (CBB2C) #813 — $75
Raw $1.79 · grade 9 $8.00
The only Gem Pack card in the top five, and the steepest multiple anywhere in this ranking: a dollar seventy-nine raw against $75 in a PSA 10 holder, forty-two times over. It sits above both of the CS4aC VMAX printings despite being a V-tier foil from a mini-set.
2. Glaceon V — CS4aC #141 — $123
Raw $47.04 · grade 9 $33.89
The stronger of the two CS4aC V cards, at nearly twice the price of #140. Raw copies are tracked well above grade 9 here, at $47.04 against $33.89 — that happens where a particular grade band has thin records, and it is not a statement that the card is worth less in a holder.
1. Glaceon VMAX — CS4aC #168 — $219
Raw $144.78 · grade 9 $164.16
The most valuable Glaceon in the Chinese-only sets, and the only card of the twenty above $125. It holds 19.7% of the value of every priced Glaceon card on its own. Note the grade 9 figure: at $164.16 it is the highest mid-grade price on this list, and only $55 separates it from the PSA 10 — the narrowest top-grade step in the ranking.
What the ranking shows
Glaceon’s value is split almost evenly between two products and spread thinly across a large base. Twelve of the twenty priced cards sit under $40, and the two cards above $100 hold 30.7% of the total.
| Band | Cards | Combined PSA 10 value | Share of total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Above $100 — ranked 1 to 2 | 2 | $341 | 30.7% |
| $40 – $100 — ranked 3 to 8 | 6 | $354 | 31.9% |
| Under $40 — ranked 9 to 20 | 12 | $413 | 37.3% |
| Every priced Glaceon card | 20 | $1,109 | 100% |
Two further patterns run across the whole group.
Every card here is worth more in a PSA 10 than raw or in a grade 9. That holds across all twenty priced Glaceon cards without exception. The median raw-to-PSA-10 multiple is 18.65 — the highest of any character we have measured, ahead of Eevee’s 18.3 and well clear of Umbreon’s 12.55 — but the reason is not that Glaceon cards are valuable. It is that so many of them start at two dollars raw.
Two products hold almost the whole character, and they are worth almost the same. Gem Pack Vol. 2 contributes fourteen of the twenty-six Glaceon cards and $570 of the total; CS4aC contributes six cards and $539. An even split in value from products that differ by more than two to one in card count is unusual in this family. The volume-by-volume guide sets out the Gem Pack structure.
Where Glaceon is printed
| Product | Set code | Glaceon cards |
|---|---|---|
| Gem Pack Vol. 2 | CBB2C | 14 |
| CS4aC | CS4aC | 6 |
| CSV7C | CSV7C | 3 |
| Grand Terastal Gathering | CSV9.5C | 3 |
| Total | 26 |
The counts are cards, not artworks. Gem Pack prints each Pokémon in a group as a ladder of treatments — a Poké Ball foil, a Master Ball foil, a stars pattern, a stamped version, and so on, up to the art rare at the top — so a single Glaceon group can contribute fourteen separate cards to that total while only one of them is a chase.
If you want one card
- One card, no budget limit: Glaceon VMAX from CS4aC, #168, at $219. It is the highest tracked Glaceon in the language, and it is also the one card here where a grade 9 is close enough to the top grade that the step is only $55.
- One card with the widest gap to close: the Vol. 2 V card, CBB2C 813, at $75. At a dollar seventy-nine raw it is the least expensive way into a graded Glaceon above $50.
- The whole character in one product: a copy of either Gem Pack Vol. 2 or a CS4aC box. Between them they carry twenty of the twenty-six Glaceon cards, and each contributes roughly half the character’s value.
Frequently asked questions
Which Glaceon card is the most valuable in Simplified Chinese?
Glaceon VMAX from CS4aC — #168 — carries the highest tracked PSA 10 value among Glaceon cards in Chinese-only numbered sets, at $219. It is the only Glaceon card in the language above $125. Chinese promo printings sit outside that comparison, because their numbering is shared between the Chinese branches.
Are these cards Simplified Chinese exclusives?
No. Every card on this list is printed under a Chinese-only set code, but the Pokémon and the card design also appeared in other languages. “Chinese-only” describes the print run, not the artwork. Glaceon is not among the four commissioned Collect 151 art rares — those four are Pikachu — so nothing in this ranking is exclusive to the Chinese line.
Why does Glaceon have the highest grading multiples in the Eevee family?
Because fourteen of Glaceon’s twenty-six Chinese cards come from Gem Pack Vol. 2, where the lower rungs of each group trade raw for around two dollars, and those same cards trade for $39 to $75 in a PSA 10 holder. The median raw-to-PSA-10 multiple across the character is 18.65, the highest of any form we have measured. A high multiple is not the same as a high price: Glaceon’s total is the lowest in the family even though its ratios are the steepest.
Is a PSA 10 worth the premium over a raw card?
On this list, every card is worth more in a PSA 10 than raw or in a grade 9, and the median raw-to-PSA-10 multiple across the twenty priced Glaceon cards is 18.65. The multiple narrows sharply at the top — on the CS4aC VMAX at number one, raw and grade 9 are only $55 behind the PSA 10. Grading outcomes are never certain, and nothing here is a prediction about what any individual card will grade at.
How does Glaceon compare with the rest of the Eevee family?
Glaceon’s combined $1,109 is the lowest of the forms we have ranked, below Eevee at $1,987, Espeon at $1,311 and Leafeon at $1,324, and far below Umbreon at $5,382. It has twenty priced cards where those characters have twenty-two, and none of its cards clears $220.
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.
