**151 has 42 secret rares — cards numbered above 165.**

## Where 151's secret rares begin

Secret rares sit past the printed total of 165, so in 151 they run #166 to #207 — 42 cards, the hardest pulls and most of the set's value. By tier that's 16 Illustration Rares, 16 Ultra Rares, 12 Double Rares and 7 Special Illustration Rares.

## The 151 secret rares everyone wants

The rarest is Mew ex (#205), a Hyper Rare. The priciest by market value is Charizard ex (#199) at about $492.20 — so the scarcest pull and the most expensive one are different cards here.

- [Charizard ex (#199)](/card/sv3pt5-199) — Special Illustration Rare (~$492.20)
- [Blastoise ex (#200)](/card/sv3pt5-200) — Special Illustration Rare (~$167.51)
- [Venusaur ex (#198)](/card/sv3pt5-198) — Special Illustration Rare (~$134.30)
- [Charmander (#168)](/card/sv3pt5-168) — Illustration Rare (~$130.15)
- [Zapdos ex (#202)](/card/sv3pt5-202) — Special Illustration Rare (~$119.92)
- [Squirtle (#170)](/card/sv3pt5-170) — Illustration Rare (~$118.75)

## Star Pokémon among 151's secret rares

The headline Pokémon whose top prints land in the secret-rare range:

- **Charizard** — Charizard ex (#6), Charizard ex (#183), Charizard ex (#199)
- **Blastoise** — Blastoise ex (#9), Blastoise ex (#184), Blastoise ex (#200)
- **Venusaur** — Venusaur ex (#3), Venusaur ex (#182), Venusaur ex (#198)
- **Charmander** — Charmander (#168)
- **Zapdos** — Zapdos ex (#145), Zapdos ex (#192), Zapdos ex (#202)

## Finishing the 151 secret-rare run

Landing all 42 is the hard part of completing 151; they push the full checklist to 207 cards and a master set to 360. Most of the set's resale value sits in this 42-card band, so even a near-complete 151 binder can be missing the bulk of its value if the secret rares aren't in yet.
