Cleffa · Celebrations Classic Collection, what to know.
About the Cleffa card
Numbered 20 of 25 in Celebrations Classic Collection, released in October 2021, Cleffa is a Classic Collection, a Basic Colorless-type carrying 30 HP.
As a Basic Pokémon, Cleffa needs no prior evolution to put into play, which made it a practical card in the era's decks.
Illustrated by Kagemaru Himeno. Himeno is one of the most-recognized vintage illustrators, with a softer, more textured style that shows up across the Jungle and Neo runs.
Cleffa carries this Pokédex flavor text: "Because of its unusual, star-like silhouette, people believe that it came here on a meteor."
About Cleffa in the Pokémon world
The baby pre-evolution of Clefairy. Cute small-Pokémon card with niche demand.
What is Cleffa worth?
Cleffa 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 Cleffa before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Cleffa 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 Cleffa
Raw copies of Cleffa are inexpensive enough that grading rarely pays unless you have a clearly pack-fresh example. For set completion, a clean sleeved Cleffa is the practical move.
