Minccino · Sword & Shield, what to know.
About the Minccino card
Numbered 146 of 216 in Sword & Shield, released in February 2020, Minccino is a Common, a Basic Colorless-type carrying 60 HP.
As a Basic Pokémon, Minccino needs no prior evolution to put into play, which made it a practical card in the era's decks.

Minccino carries this Pokédex flavor text: "The way it brushes away grime with its tail can be helpful when cleaning. But its focus on spotlessness can make cleaning more of a hassle."
What is Minccino worth?
Minccino is a Common, so raw copies trade for very little and most of the print run survives. The only real value is in pristine, high-grade copies, where even a Common can reach low triple digits in 1st Edition PSA 10. See the live price above for the current figure by grade.
Print variants and how to spot them
Confirm the print and finish on Minccino before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Minccino is the most forgiving tier to grade in the set. Centering on the framed border is the usual cap, and the soft cardstock picks up edge whitening easily, but high print runs keep clean copies affordable.
If you are collecting Minccino
Raw copies of Minccino are inexpensive enough that grading rarely pays unless you have a clearly pack-fresh example. For set completion, a clean sleeved Minccino is the practical move.
