Chinese Pokémon card rarities

Chinese Pokémon cards print their rarity as a code (C, U, R, PR, SR, ACE, AR, SSR, SAR, FUR, UR) rather than the international symbol. The 13 rarities are listed from most common to rarest, and each page lists the Chinese cards of that rarity with their market value in euros.
