The Five Tatsugiri Cards Worth Owning in Simplified Chinese

Here are the top 5 Tatsugiri cards in Simplified Chinese, ranked by PSA 10 value.

Quick answer

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

Tatsugiri has ten cards in the Chinese-only sets and six of them carry a tracked PSA 10 value. All six come from Gem Pack Vol. 5, and together they add to $279.46. One card holds 29.0 percent of that total. The other five share the rest — and sit inside $1.63 of one another doing it.

#2807 is tracked at $81.00. The card beneath it, #2801, is tracked at $40.71, so the step from first to second is $40.29 — 24.7 times the entire distance from second place down to sixth. It is not a grading effect: raw copies of #2807 are tracked at $7.99 against $2.24 for the next print, a multiple of 3.6, and its grade 9 record of $19.99 is $7.00 clear of the next. Ungraded, mid-grade and top-grade readings all place the same card alone at the top of this run.

How this list was built

Three rules, applied in this order.

  • The card has to sit in a Chinese-only set. Every card below carries the set code CBB5C — Gem Pack Vol. 5. The trailing C marks a Simplified Chinese print run, and it is the dependable way to tell a Chinese-only card from a card that merely happens to be printed in Chinese. Reading a Chinese set code from end to end covers the whole system.
  • The card has to have a tracked PSA 10 value. Ten Tatsugiri cards exist in these sets and six have a PSA 10 price on record. The four that do not are listed at the end of this page. A card with no graded record cannot be ranked.
  • The card has to be a Pokémon card. Sealed product, trainer cards and energy are out of scope.

One exclusion applies here as it does to every character ranking we publish. Promo printings of Tatsugiri 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 top 5, ranked

5. Tatsugiri #2806 — Gem Pack Vol. 5 (CBB5C) — $39.49

Raw $1.87 · grade 9 $12.66

Raw copies are tracked at $1.87 against $39.49 graded, a multiple of 21.1 — the widest on this list. Its grade 9 record of $12.66 is shared exactly with the card ranked fourth. It sits one cent below that card and 41 cents above the floor, which makes the two of them the closest pair in this ranking.

4. Tatsugiri #2803 — Gem Pack Vol. 5 (CBB5C) — $39.50

Raw $1.90 · grade 9 $12.66

The middle of the run. Its multiple from raw to graded is 20.8, and its grade 9 figure matches #2806 exactly at $12.66 — the only two cards in the group that agree on a middle-grade value to the cent. The PSA 10 prices separate them by one cent, $39.50 against $39.49. It sits 18 cents below the card ranked third.

3. Tatsugiri #2804 — Gem Pack Vol. 5 (CBB5C) — $39.68

Raw $2.03 · grade 9 $12.71

The highest of the four cards that sit below the break. Its raw price of $2.03 is the third highest in the group, behind only #2807 and #2801, and the multiple from raw to graded is 19.5. It sits $1.03 below the card ranked second — the widest step anywhere beneath the top of this list — and 18 cents above the card ranked fourth.

2. Tatsugiri #2801 — Gem Pack Vol. 5 (CBB5C) — $40.71

Raw $2.24 · grade 9 $12.99

The lowest-numbered card of the run, and the only one of the five below the top that clears $40. Its multiple from raw to graded is 18.2, the narrowest of the five. It sits $40.29 below the card at number one and $1.03 above the card ranked third — one gap of forty dollars and one of a dollar, in the same list. Its grade 9 share of 31.9 percent is the lowest in the group after the card at number one.

1. Tatsugiri #2807 — Gem Pack Vol. 5 (CBB5C) — $81.00

Raw $7.99 · grade 9 $19.99

The most valuable Tatsugiri card in Simplified Chinese by a wide margin. It is the only card in the group above $50, it carries the highest raw price at $7.99 and the highest grade 9 record at $19.99, and its raw price is 3.6 times the next highest in the run. From raw to PSA 10 the step is 10.1 times, the narrowest on this list. It holds 29.0 percent of the character against an even share of 16.7 percent.

What the ranking shows

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

Band Cards Combined PSA 10 value Share of total
$50 and above — ranked 1 1 $81.00 29.0%
$39.50 to $41 — ranked 2 to 4 3 $119.89 42.9%
$39 to $39.50 — ranked 5 to 6 2 $78.57 28.1%
Every priced Tatsugiri card 6 $279.46 100%

Two points run across the whole group.

The break at the top is wider than anything else in the character’s catalogue, and it is wide by the standards of the whole set of rankings. #2807 sits $40.29 above #2801. The four steps beneath that — $1.03, $0.18, $0.01 and $0.41 — come to $1.63 between them, so the single move at the top of this ranking is 24.7 times the entire descent from second place to sixth. Across the characters in these Chinese-only sets with six or more tracked PSA 10 values, only six put a wider distance between their first and second card. The volume-by-volume guide sets out how these groups are built.

The grade 9 column splits in the opposite direction, and the five cards below the top agree with each other almost exactly. #2807’s grade 9 value is 24.7 percent of its PSA 10 value — the lowest in the group. The other five are tracked at 31.9, 32.0, 32.1, 32.1 and 32.1 percent, which puts the whole five inside 0.2 of a percentage point of each other. That is what happens when the top grade of one print is genuinely scarcer than its own middle grade while the rest of the run is priced the same way it always is: the premium sits on the single card, not on the group. Our grading guide covers why a single result can land either side of a recorded average.

Product Set code Tatsugiri cards Priced
Gem Pack Vol. 5 CBB5C 7 6
Stellar Crystal csv9C 2 0
Brilliant Fantasy csv8C 1 0
Total 10 6

The counts are cards, not artworks. Gem Pack Vol. 5 gives Tatsugiri one group running #2801 to #2807, and the price record lists all seven by number alone — no finish names on any of the seven pages, which is also how Gem Pack Vol. 4 is laid out. Six of the seven carry a graded value. The one that does not is #2802, whose raw price of $2.00 sits in the middle of the group on ungraded money. The other four Tatsugiri cards in these sets are two ex printings from Stellar Crystal and one card from Brilliant Fantasy, none of them tracked.

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

If you want one card

  • One card, no budget limit: #2807 from Gem Pack Vol. 5, at $81.00. It is the highest tracked Tatsugiri card in the language, the only one above $50, and the highest raw price and the highest grade 9 record in the group.
  • The widest step below the top: #2804, at $39.68 graded and $2.03 raw — a multiple of 19.5. The move down to it from the card ranked second is $1.03, the largest anywhere beneath the top of this list.
  • The floor: #2805, at $39.08 graded and $1.90 raw — a multiple of 20.6. It is the least expensive Tatsugiri card with a tracked value, and it sits 41 cents under the card ranked fifth.

Frequently asked questions

Which Tatsugiri card is the most valuable in Simplified Chinese?

#2807 from Gem Pack Vol. 5 carries the highest tracked PSA 10 value of any Tatsugiri card in the Chinese-only numbered sets, at $81.00. It is $40.29 above the second card, the only Tatsugiri card above $50, and the highest raw price in the group at $7.99. Chinese promo printings sit outside that comparison, because their numbering is shared between the Chinese branches.

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

Ten, across three products: seven from Gem Pack Vol. 5, two from Stellar Crystal and one from Brilliant Fantasy. Six of the ten carry a tracked PSA 10 value, and all six are Vol. 5 prints. The four that do not are the Vol. 5 card at #2802, the two Stellar Crystal ex printings, and the Brilliant Fantasy card.

Why does #2807 sit so far above the rest of the group?

Because every market reading puts it there, not just the graded one. #2807 is tracked at $81.00 in PSA 10 against $40.71 for the next print, a gap of $40.29 — 24.7 times the $1.63 that separates second place from sixth. The same card is also the most expensive on raw copies at $7.99 against $2.24 for the next print, a multiple of 3.6, and the highest on grade 9 at $19.99 against $12.99. All three readings draw the line in the same place.

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

The multiple is narrowest on the card at the top and clustered for everything beneath it. #2807 is tracked at $7.99 raw against $81.00 graded, a multiple of 10.1. The five prints below it run between 18.2 and 21.1 times, with no order to them — the widest of the five is on the card ranked fifth. The graded prices differ by $41.92; the raw prices differ by $6.09. A printed figure is an observation, not a forecast, and grading outcomes are never certain.

How does Tatsugiri compare with the other characters ranked here?

Its six prints span $39.08 to $81.00, a top-to-bottom ratio of 2.07 to 1, and five of the six sit inside $1.63 of one another. The shape is the opposite of a flat Gem Pack run: one card carries 29.0 percent of the character against an even share of 16.7 percent, and the break at the top is wider than in all but six of the characters in these sets. For a wider view of the market rather than one character, the ten most popular Chinese-exclusive cards ranks across Pokémon, and the price ladder sorts the same catalogue into bands.

Other character rankings

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