Cherubi · Brilliant Stars, what to know.
About the Cherubi card
Numbered 12 of 186 in Brilliant Stars, released in February 2022, Cherubi is a Common, a Basic Grass-type carrying 40 HP.
As a Basic Pokémon, Cherubi needs no prior evolution to put into play, which made it a practical card in the era's decks.

Printed on the card, the Cherubi Pokédex entry reads: "The deeper a Cherubi's red, the more nutrients it has stockpiled in its body. And the sweeter and tastier its small ball!"
What is Cherubi worth?
Cherubi is a Common, so raw copies trade for very little and most of the print run survives. The only real value is in pristine, high-grade copies, where even a Common can reach low triple digits in 1st Edition PSA 10. See the live price above for the current figure by grade.
Print variants and how to spot them
Confirm the print and finish on Cherubi before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Cherubi is the most forgiving tier to grade in the set. Centering on the framed border is the usual cap, and the soft cardstock picks up edge whitening easily, but high print runs keep clean copies affordable.
If you are collecting Cherubi
Raw copies of Cherubi are inexpensive enough that grading rarely pays unless you have a clearly pack-fresh example. For set completion, a clean sleeved Cherubi is the practical move.
