About Chansey in the Pokémon world
A pink egg-carrying Pokémon. Notably the trainer in the Pokémon Centers in the games. High HP, low offensive stats. Base Set holo Chansey is one of the original 16 holos. Considered one of the harder Base holos to find well-centered. PSA 10 1st Edition Chansey commands a meaningful premium per population reports.
What is Chansey worth?
Chansey is a non-holo Rare. In Scarlet & Violet 151, value concentrates in the holo rares, so a Chansey trades modestly, though a clean, well-centered 1st Edition copy in PSA 10 is scarcer than the print run suggests and carries a real premium. Check the live price above for the figure by grade.
Print variants and how to spot them
Confirm the print and finish on Chansey before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Chansey grades on centering and edges more than surface. The card was played and traded more freely than the holos, so a clean, well-centered Chansey is worth more than collectors assume.
If you are collecting Chansey
For Chansey, check centering by eye, edge whitening on all four sides, and surface under angled light. Submission math on Chansey rarely works unless the card has independent demand.
