Quaxwell’s Chinese-only cards sit in two Gem Pack volumes and stay inside a narrow price band. Fifteen Quaxwell cards exist in these sets, eight of them carry a PSA 10 price, and the priced set runs from $64.00 down to $35.97 — a range of $28.03, the tightest of the six Paldea starter lines apart from Crocalor. Its leading card is also the second-lowest leading card of any character in this series.
Nothing here is concentrated. The top four hold 56.5 percent between them, the seven cards below the leading one all fit inside $9.05, and the bottom three are separated by $1.26. Quaxwell appears in Gem Pack Vol. 1 as a middle-evolution group that stops at the full art, and again in Gem Pack Vol. 5 as a group of seven.
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. Fifteen Quaxwell cards exist across these sets and eight have a PSA 10 price on record. The seven that do not are the plain print at CBB1C #601, the Poké Ball foil at #602, the stars pattern at #603, and four numbers in the Vol. 5 group — #2401, #2402, #2404 and #2405. 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 Quaxwell 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. Quaxwell #2403 — Gem Pack Vol. 5 (CBB5C) — $39
Raw $1.89 · grade 9 $12.52
The third Vol. 5 number in this top five and the last of them, sitting $1.85 below the card above it. Raw copies at $1.89 becoming $39.04 is a multiple of 20.7, and its grade 9 record of $12.52 is 32 percent of the PSA 10 value — the shape almost every set-checklist foil in this series has.
4. Quaxwell #2406 — Gem Pack Vol. 5 (CBB5C) — $41
Raw $2.00 · grade 9 $13.04
The second Vol. 5 number in the top five, and the card that keeps the later volume in the middle of the list as well as at the top. Raw copies at $2.00 becoming $40.89 is a multiple of 20.4. There is no artwork here and no foil name on the card — it is one of the plain numbers that make up the Vol. 5 group, and it still outranks every ordinary Vol. 1 treatment.
3. Quaxwell [Stamped] #607 — Gem Pack Vol. 1 (CBB1C) — $43
Raw $2.74 · grade 9 $14.66
The stamped foil and the highest of the ordinary Vol. 1 treatments. Its raw price of $2.74 is the highest among the five priced Vol. 1 cards other than the full art, which makes its raw-to-grade step of 15.6 times the narrowest of the foils. The volume-by-volume guide sets out how a group like that is built.
2. Quaxwell [Full Art] #608 — Gem Pack Vol. 1 (CBB1C) — $45
Raw $3.56 · grade 9 $15.47
The full art that closes the Vol. 1 group and the last number in that run. The Vol. 1 middle-evolution groups stop here — eight treatments, where the base-form groups in the same volume run to nine and add a horizons full art. So this is the only artwork Quaxwell has in the earlier volume, and it is the most valuable Quaxwell card from it. Its raw price of $3.56 is the highest raw price in the whole list apart from the leader’s $15.75, and its grade 9 record of $15.47 is 34 percent of the PSA 10 value.
1. Quaxwell #2407 — Gem Pack Vol. 5 (CBB5C) — $64
Raw $15.75 · grade 9 $26.00
The art rare that closes the Vol. 5 group and the most valuable Quaxwell card in the language. It holds 18.8 percent of the character’s total, and its raw price of $15.75 is 4.4 times the highest raw price of any other priced Quaxwell card. That raw price already carries most of the premium, so it multiplies only 4.1 times into a PSA 10, where the other seven priced cards run from 12.6 to 25.0 times. Its grade 9 record of $26.00 is 41 percent of the PSA 10 value, the highest ratio in the list. We hold this card in PSA 10: the Vol. 5 Quaxwell and Dot listing is here.
What the ranking shows
Quaxwell’s prices sit in one band. Eight cards are priced, nothing reaches $65, and the seven cards below the leader are separated by nine dollars.
| Band | Cards | Combined PSA 10 value | Share of total |
|---|---|---|---|
| $50 – $70 — ranked 1 | 1 | $64 | 18.8% |
| $40 – $50 — ranked 2 to 4 | 3 | $129 | 37.7% |
| Under $40 — ranked 5 to 8 | 4 | $148 | 43.5% |
| Every priced Quaxwell card | 8 | $341 | 100% |
Two further patterns run across the whole group.
The two volumes trade the top of the list rather than one of them owning it. Vol. 1 supplies five of the eight priced cards and $197.10 of the $341.03 total; Vol. 5 supplies three cards and $143.93, and takes the highest place. Ranked by value the two alternate near the top — the Vol. 5 art rare first, the Vol. 1 full art and stamped foil second and third, then three Vol. 5 numbers in a row — and the bottom three priced cards are all Vol. 1 foils sitting inside $1.26 of one another.
One card in the group has a middle-grade market that behaves differently. The Master Ball foil at #605 carries a grade 9 record of $4.99, which is 13 percent of its PSA 10 value, where every other priced Quaxwell card sits between 32 and 41 percent. That is the shape of a card whose graded sales sit at the top grade and whose middle grade is barely traded: the PSA 10 record is firm, the grade 9 record is thin, and the two prices sit far apart rather than close together.
Where Quaxwell is printed
| Product | Set code | Quaxwell cards |
|---|---|---|
| Gem Pack Vol. 1 | CBB1C | 8 |
| Gem Pack Vol. 5 | CBB5C | 7 |
| Total | 15 |
The counts are cards, not artworks. Gem Pack prints each Pokémon in a volume as its own group of treatments rather than as a single set position, which is why one Quaxwell entry in a volume turns into fifteen cards on a checklist. The Vol. 1 group runs #601 to #608 and stops at the full art; the Vol. 5 group runs #2401 to #2407. Quaxwell is a Paldea-generation evolution, which is why there is no Collect 151 entry: that set prints only the original 151 Pokémon.
Vol. 1 carries the heavier half of the money — $197.10 of $341.03 — because five of its eight cards have a price against three of the Vol. 5 group’s seven. Vol. 5 carries the single most valuable card. Completing a Simplified Chinese set sets out what a full run of one of these volumes involves.
If you want one card
- One card, no budget limit: the Vol. 5 art rare at #2407, at $64. It is the most valuable Quaxwell card in the language and the only one above $45.02. The Vol. 5 Quaxwell and Dot listing is here.
- The earlier artwork: the full art at #608, at $45.02 — the only Quaxwell artwork in Vol. 1 and the last number in that group.
- The lowest-priced entry onto this list: the rotary pattern at #604, at $35.97, the lowest-priced of the five Vol. 1 cards with a price.
- If you want the whole priced set: eight cards add up to $341.03, and the four below $40 come to $148.34 of it.
Frequently asked questions
How many Quaxwell cards are there in Simplified Chinese?
Fifteen, across two products: eight in the Gem Pack Vol. 1 group and seven in the Gem Pack Vol. 5 group. Eight of the fifteen carry a tracked PSA 10 value, and the other seven have no graded sold record yet.
What is the most valuable Quaxwell card in Simplified Chinese?
The art rare that closes the Gem Pack Vol. 5 group at #2407, tracked at $64.00 as a PSA 10 and $15.75 raw. It is the only Quaxwell card in these sets above $45.02, and it holds 18.8 percent of the character’s combined value.
Why is Quaxwell’s top card lower than the other Paldea starter lines?
Because of which slot sets the ceiling. Sprigatito, Fuecoco and Quaxly are the base forms, and each of their ceilings is a Vol. 1 horizons full art — $129.82, $100.75 and $115.25. Quaxwell, Floragato and Crocalor are the middle evolutions, and each of their ceilings is a Vol. 5 art rare — $64.00, $68.85 and $52.60. Both sets of cards are commissioned artwork; the difference in price is a difference between the two products rather than between the three evolutions.
Is a PSA 10 worth the premium over a raw card?
On seven of the eight priced cards, clearly yes: raw prices sit between $1.44 and $3.56 while graded values run from $36 to $45, multiples of 12.6 to 25.0. The art rare at #2407 narrows to 4.1 times, because its raw price of $15.75 already carries most of the $64. Grading outcomes are never certain, and nothing here is a prediction about what any individual card will grade at.
Is Quaxwell in Collect 151?
No. Collect 151 prints only the original 151 Pokémon, and Quaxwell is the first evolution of a Paldea starter introduced eight generations later. Characters from later generations have no entry in that set, so their card lists are made up entirely of Gem Pack and Scarlet & Violet era prints. The Collect 151 guide explains what the set covers.
Other character rankings
Each character ranked here has its own page: Pikachu, Charizard, Psyduck, Ponyta, Meowth, Chandelure, Gengar, Ceruledge, Captain Pikachu, Cubone, Applin, Blastoise, the other Paldea starter lines — Sprigatito, Floragato, Fuecoco, Crocalor and Quaxly — 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.
