Estimate from Browse EN fallback listings after removing bundles, wrong sets and outliers. Small samples move a lot. Muestra insuficiente (graded=4, validListings=12, mínimo=5). Rango estimado con baja confianza.
Background compiled from public web sources. Check it before you buy or sell.
Recent 30-day change -1.8% with sales around $15-20 raw; steady European demand (Cardmarket ~€20) offsets minor US dip.
Next months. Stable to slight decline; expect raw $15-22, graded 10 $100-150 in next 3-6 months
Long term. Stable collector value; potential modest appreciation if Ruinous Quartet gains renewed meta relevance, but unlikely to chase high-end modern secret rares
Chien-Pao is a Legendary Pokémon from Generation 9, introduced in Pokémon Scarlet & Violet. It is one of the Ruinous Quartet, a group of ancient treasure guardians from the land of Paldea. Sealed within a treasure chest, Chien-Pao embodies the power of calamity through its icy breath and fierce combat prowess, representing destruction and frozen ruin in Pokémon lore.
First released in the Pokémon Scarlet & Violet: Paldea Evolved expansion set on June 9, 2023, in English; German version released shortly after in the Evolutions en Paldea set.
Condition. Check for centering issues on the intricate borderless artwork, surface scratches on the holographic foil, edge whitening from sleeves, and print lines on the dark icy background; common flaws include corner dings and print dots.
Storage. Use semi-rigid holders or top loaders with sleeves in a cool, dry environment away from sunlight to prevent foil peeling or oxidation; avoid stacking without dividers.
Authenticity. Verify holo pattern matches official shimmering effect with sharp text; check weight (fakes often lighter), UV blacklight for glowing security features, and compare to official scans on Pokémon TCG database; graded/graded grading recommended for high-value copies.
