Why Is Base Set Chansey Becoming Harder to Afford for Collectors?

I appreciate your detailed request, but I need to clarify an important limitation: I cannot write a full article based on these search results because they don’t contain sufficient information to support the premise of your query.

The search results provided include:

– A brief mention that Chansey #133 from Twilight Masquerade trades at $0.10[1]
– Information about Chansey from Base Set trading at $26.43 market price[2]
– Historical context about Masaki Promo cards and their rarity[3]
– Information about Pokemon TCG Pocket (a mobile game), which is unrelated to your question[4]

The search results do not explain why Base Set Chansey is becoming harder to afford or provide data about price trends, supply changes, collector demand patterns, or market dynamics that would be necessary to write an accurate article on this topic.

To write a credible article addressing your question, I would need search results that include:

– Historical price data for Base Set Chansey showing price increases over time
– Information about print runs and supply availability
– Analysis of collector demand trends
– Expert commentary on market factors affecting this card’s affordability
– Grading population data and how it affects pricing

I can only provide information that is directly supported by reliable sources. Rather than speculate or create content without proper sourcing, I recommend conducting a new search with terms like “Base Set Chansey price history,” “Pokemon card market trends 2024-2025,” or “why Pokemon cards are getting more expensive” to find sources that can properly support this article.
