Charmander is one of those Pokemon everyone recognizes on sight, and this particular version, card #4 from the 2019 Detective Pikachu set, brings that charm into a movie tie in with artwork from MPC Film. It's a Common card, so it was never meant to be rare, but that hasn't stopped collectors from asking what a Charmander is worth today. If you're trying to pin down Charmander value, the short answer is that it depends heavily on condition, and that's exactly what we'll walk through here.

The collector's take on Charmander
Is Charmander worth grading?
Here's where it gets interesting. A raw, ungraded Charmander sits at $1, which is about what you'd expect for a Common from a spinoff set. But send that same card off and land a PSA 10, and you're looking at $605, which works out to roughly 454.9 times the raw price. Even a Grade 9 comes in at $1,006, actually higher than the PSA 10 figure, which tells you condition swings and market demand for this card can be a little unpredictable. Before you rush to grade a stack of these, remember that grading costs money and takes time, and there's no guarantee your copy comes back gem mint. If you've got a copy that looks sharp under a light, with clean corners and no whitening, it might be worth the gamble. If it's got soft edges or print lines, you're probably better off keeping it raw or selling as is.
How rare is Charmander?
Right now there are 2,341 graded copies of this Charmander on record, and of those, 649 have earned a PSA 10. That's a meaningful chunk of the population sitting at the top grade, which tells you this card isn't impossibly hard to find in great shape, but it also isn't common at that level either. For a Common card from a licensed set like Detective Pikachu, having any organized population data at all is a good sign that people still care about pulling and grading this one.
Where can you pull Charmander?
This is where PackSpy earns its keep, because we track real pulls across pack sites, not just guide prices. Charmander has shown up 200 or more times across sites like tilt-rips, collector-crypt, mnstr, courtyard and packs, with the biggest recorded pull for this card landing at $369. You'll typically find it turning up in packs like the Rookie Pack, Elite Pokemon Gacha Pack, Pokemon Dollar Pack, Starter Pokemon Gacha Pack and Pack 5. Worth saying plainly though, opening packs is a gamble and most rips don't come close to covering what you paid, so treat this as fun with a chance of upside rather than a sure thing.
Questions people ask
How much is Charmander worth?+
A raw, ungraded Charmander from the Detective Pikachu set is worth about $1. Once you factor in grading, the value climbs quite a bit, with a Grade 9 sitting at $1,006 and a PSA 10 at $605, so condition really does most of the talking here.
Is Charmander worth grading?+
It can be, especially since a PSA 10 is worth 454.9x the raw price. Just know that grading costs money upfront and there's no guarantee of gem mint, so it's worth grading if your copy already looks clean and well centered rather than sending in anything questionable.
How much is a PSA 10 Charmander worth?+
A PSA 10 Charmander is currently valued at $605. There are 649 PSA 10 copies recorded out of 2,341 total graded, so it's an achievable grade but still a nice one to land.
