Mienshao · Lost Origin, what to know.
About the Mienshao card
Numbered 104 of 217 in Lost Origin, released in September 2022, Mienshao is an Uncommon, a Stage 1 Fighting-type carrying 90 HP.
It evolves from Mienfoo, so Mienshao is a later-stage card that set-builders usually slot into a full evolution run rather than buy alone.

Mienshao carries this Pokédex flavor text: "When Mienshao comes across a truly challenging opponent, it will lighten itself by biting off the fur on its arms."
What is Mienshao worth?
Mienshao is an Uncommon, so raw copies are inexpensive and easy to find. The value is in condition: a genuine PSA 10, especially 1st Edition, can still reach a surprising figure for an otherwise common card. The live price above breaks it down by grade.
Print variants and how to spot them
Confirm the print and finish on Mienshao before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Mienshao grades forgivingly, but the same centering and edge standards apply. Pack-fresh raw copies are easy to find, which makes a clean PSA 10 submission a low-cost way to learn how the cardstock behaves under grading.
If you are collecting Mienshao
Raw copies of Mienshao are inexpensive enough that grading rarely pays unless you have a clearly pack-fresh example. For set completion, a clean sleeved Mienshao is the practical move.
