The collector's take on Charmander
Is Charmander worth grading?
Grading is always a bit of a gamble, and with Charmander it's worth going in with clear eyes. Right now we don't have recorded PSA 10 or Grade 9 prices to compare against the $22 raw value, so there's no clean math to show you a guaranteed profit. Grading costs money and time, and gem mint is never a sure thing even on a card that looks perfect to the naked eye, corners, centering and surface all get scrutinized closely. If you love the card and want it protected long term, grading can make sense for peace of mind, but if you're doing it purely to flip for profit, wait until more graded sales data shows up before you commit.
How rare is Charmander?
Illustration rares sit in that sweet spot within a set, not as common as your standard rares but printed enough that dedicated collectors can realistically track one down. Without official population figures out yet for Charmander in high grades, it's hard to say exactly how few gem mint copies exist, but that's typical for a card still relatively fresh off a 2023 release. As grading numbers build over time, scarcity at the PSA 10 level tends to be what actually drives long term value beyond the raw price, so it's one to keep an eye on.
Where can you pull Charmander?
This is where PackSpy's own tracking comes in handy, because we've recorded Charmander pulled 200 or more times across sites including collector-crypt, tilt-rips, courtyard, mnstr and packs, which tells you it shows up with real frequency rather than being some mythical chase card. The biggest recorded pull value we've logged for it sits at $220, a nice reminder that even a $22 card can land in a lucky, well priced slot. We've seen it turn up in the Elite Pokemon Gacha Pack, Pokemon Dollar Pack, Starter Pokemon Gacha Pack, Pokemon Pro Pack and Pokemon Starter Pack, so if you're hoping to pull one yourself, those are the products where it's actually been showing up. Just remember, opening packs is entertainment first, and most rips don't beat what you'd pay buying the card outright on the secondary market.
