Cinccino · Brilliant Stars, what to know.
About the Cinccino card
Cinccino is card 125 of 186 in Brilliant Stars, released in February 2022, an Uncommon. It is a Stage 1 Colorless-type with 90 HP.
As a Stage 1, it evolves from Minccino, which places Cinccino deeper in its line and means most collectors hold it alongside the cards it evolves from.
Illustrated by Atsuko Nishida. Nishida is the original designer of Pikachu and many Gen 1 Pokémon, and her card work has a soft, rounded warmth that suits the friendlier creatures.
The Pokédex entry printed on Cinccino reads: "Its body secretes oil that this Pokémon spreads over its nest as a coating to protect it from dust. Cinccino won't tolerate even a speck of the stuff."
What is Cinccino worth?
Cinccino is an Uncommon, so raw copies are inexpensive and easy to find. The value is in condition: a genuine PSA 10, especially 1st Edition, can still reach a surprising figure for an otherwise common card. The live price above breaks it down by grade.
Print variants and how to spot them
Confirm the print and finish on Cinccino before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Cinccino grades forgivingly, but the same centering and edge standards apply. Pack-fresh raw copies are easy to find, which makes a clean PSA 10 submission a low-cost way to learn how the cardstock behaves under grading.
If you are collecting Cinccino
Raw copies of Cinccino are inexpensive enough that grading rarely pays unless you have a clearly pack-fresh example. For set completion, a clean sleeved Cinccino is the practical move.
