What Is Chinchou (Japanese) Worth?
Chinchou (Japanese) is a Common card from the Awakening Legends set, card number . On PokeCardWorth we focus on one question — what is it actually worth — and at its current valuation, it is an affordable, easy-to-find card best valued as part of a complete set rather than on its own.
Chinchou (Japanese) Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Chinchou (Japanese) (Awakening Legends, ) is worth around $1.55 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $1.55, while a Damaged one drops to roughly $0.96. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $1.55, Lightly Played $0.98, Moderately Played $0.49, Heavily Played $0.22, Damaged $0.96 — so grading the condition correctly before you buy or sell matters more than almost anything else. A PSA 10 (Gem Mint) example is valued near $60.00 — about 39x the raw price, which is the single biggest swing in this card's value. PSA 9 copies sit around $25.00.
