The value of Chinese Pokemon Base Set relies heavily on a few factors that we’ll go over in this guide. It’s important to know Base Set was the first set ever printed for China. If you have genuine, non-re-sealed, Pokemon Base Set booster packs or boxes, you have something that can be very valuable! Please keep in mind, we buy all Chinese Pokemon from Base Set, individual cards, packs, and boxes.

If you aren’t interested in learning about Chinese Pokemon Base Set and simply want to know how much your Pokemon card is worth, send us a clear image of your card, front and back, and we’ll respond with our best offer within 24 hours.

Demand for Chinese Pokemon Cards

The first factor when figuring out the value of Chinese Pokemon Base Set is supply and demand. Like most things, there needs to be a demand for a Pokemon in order for the bill to fetch a premium. With Pokemon base set, typically speaking, Pokemon with fewer cards printed (supply) are more desirable and sought after (demand). There are examples of old Japanese and other language Pokemon cards that have low supply and low demand, but we’ll save that discussion for another time.

Chinese Pokemon Base Set card condition

The next factor is condition. Condition is King. If you have a Chinese Pokemon card that people desire, it’s going to bring money. But if you have a card that people desire and it’s in good condition, you’re going to have a card that’s worth a lot more money.

We’ve paid $50 for a Chinese Charizard in poor condition, and the same card in pristine condition we’ve paid over $1,000 for. The same Pokemon! Condition is key when determining the value of Chinese Pokemon cards.

Error, Misprint, or Miscut Pokemon from Chinese Base Set

Not many people know this but the error cards from Base set have a good chance to increase the value of a card. If you have a card that has a genuine miscut, that alone can increase the value of a bill tenfold. We wrote a whole in-depth guide about misprinted error Pokemon cards you can check out here.

Market Conditions for Chinese Pokemon Base Set

The final variable when determining a Chinese Pokemon cards value is the market. Markets are constantly fluctuating for better or worse. The market for Pokemon is generally pointed in one direction, which is up. There have been moments of time, like 2016 with Pokemon Go, that really brought collectors back into the market.

It’s important to remember people tend to think they have something extremely rare and valuable when most of the time unfortunately they don’t! But there is still a good chance you have something valuable in your collection.
