Chansey #3 Common: rarity, grading and trend

Chansey #3 Common is a Common card from Base Set, the Base era (1999). It ranks as number 17 by price out of 307 cards in the set. The illustration is by Ken Sugimori.

Is it worth grading? Given the inexpensive raw band and the absence of a gem-mint comparison, grading should be selective rather than routine. Chansey's pale artwork leaves much of the surrounding holo field exposed, so fine scratches, print lines, and front-edge silvering deserve especially close inspection.

As an original Base Set holo, Chansey fits a binder run of the set's numbered foil cards and offers a gentler character choice among the era's battle-focused artwork. Sugimori's illustration also supports a broader artist collection spanning the earliest releases.
