The CP Score is a collectibility rating weighing how many collectors pursue this type of item, its scarcity, how often it trades, and its condition and attributes. In the collectibles market, items with strong demand and limited supply tend to hold value and resell more easily; a high score signals broad collector appeal, a lower score a more common or niche piece. It is a guide to collector interest, not an appraisal.
CP Score scale: 1–99 Common (easily available, high survival numbers) · 100–299 Scarce (harder to find in top condition, lower numbers) · 300–999 Rare (difficult to acquire, limited known specimens) · 1000–1999 Very Rare to Extremely Rare (museum or auction-grade scarcity) · 2000+ Unique (only one single example is known to exist in the entire world). Most items score between 100 and 1000; the scale is open-ended so truly exceptional pieces can score higher.
