The base set of 151 is 165 cards. The numbering runs to 207, and those 42 extra cards are the special prints people open packs for.
This is the full list, split by rarity, with collector number, artwork and price. If you are after the ranking sorted by value instead, it is in the article on the most expensive 151 cards.
In short. The signature card of 151 is Charizard ex Special Illustration Rare (#199) at 368.64 €; the print that closes the numbering, meaning the hardest one to find, is one of the three Hyper Rares, the most wanted of them at 13.19 €. The value is spread out: the top three cards make up only 33% of the total, and below them the drop is gradual. Prices for English-language singles in Near Mint condition, 28 August 2026.
What is the rarest card in 151?
It depends what you mean, and here the two answers do not coincide.
If you mean the signature card, the one everybody calls the rarest in the set, it is Charizard ex Special Illustration Rare (#199): it is worth 368.64 € and it is the most expensive card in 151.
If you mean the hardest print to find, they are the three Hyper Rares: Mew ex (#205), Switch (#206) and Basic Psychic Energy (#207). They close the numbering, the slot conventionally reserved for the prints that come out of packs least often, and the most wanted one costs 13.19 €.
Pull rates are never published, so there is no official answer on which card is genuinely the rarest. The only measurable indicator is the price, which is where the few copies in circulation meet the people looking for them: and the price says Charizard ex #199 sits 27.9 times above the most wanted of the closing prints.
This is the nostalgia set, and it shows in a tier that normally does not matter: the Illustration Rares of the Kanto Pokémon are worth more than the Special Illustration Rares of several recent sets. A Charmander and a Pikachu that would sit under five euros in another expansion are worth dozens here, and not because they are rare: because of who is looking for them.
Charizard ex appears two times, and the prices are nothing alike
The same Pokémon shows up two times among the special prints, at wildly different prices:
- #199, Special Illustration Rare: 368.64 €
- #183, Ultra Rare: 40.12 €
Its versions together are worth 408.76 €, which is 22% of every special print in the set, and between the dearest and the cheapest there is a 9x gap. It is the most common mistake when valuing a collection from memory: the Pokémon does not decide the price, the print does. The number at the bottom decides everything.

What it costs to complete the 151 special prints
Bought one by one as singles, the 42 cards from number 166 to 207 cost 1,851.70 €. The distribution matters more than the total:
- the top three cards are worth 33% of it
- the seven Special Illustration Rares are worth 824.51 €
- the sixteen Illustration Rares are worth 797.82 €
- the sixteen Ultra Rares are worth 209.00 €
