Charmander #44 Value
SVP Black Star Promos · Card 44/226 · Promo · 2023
Charmander needs no introduction, it is the little fire lizard that got a whole generation hooked on Pokemon, and this particular version comes from the 2023 Promo set with artwork from MINAMINAMI Take. If you are looking up Charmander value because you just pulled one or you are eyeing a copy online, the short answer is that raw copies are sitting around $59 right now, which feels about right for a promo card that so many collectors still want on principle rather than pure rarity.

Charmander — collector's take
Is Charmander worth grading?
So is it worth grading this one? Here is the honest math: a raw copy runs $59, a Grade 9 brings $119, and a PSA 10 sits at $644, which works out to roughly 11.0 times the raw price once a card comes back gem mint. That is a real jump, no doubt about it. But getting a 10 is never guaranteed, print lines, centering, and edge wear on a promo card like this can knock you down to a 9 pretty easily, and grading fees plus shipping and the wait time eat into your return either way. If you already own the card and it looks clean under a loupe, sending it in can make sense. If you are buying raw copies hoping to hit a 10, treat it like a gamble you are comfortable losing, because plenty of nice-looking cards come back at 9 instead of 10.
How rare is it?
As a promo release, Charmander was never part of a mainstream numbered set with the huge print runs you see in main expansions, which already puts it in a different scarcity bucket than your average base set card. We do not have official population figures to point to here, but promos in general tend to see fewer submissions to grading companies than staple sets, simply because fewer people bother sending in promo cards for grading in the first place. That relative scarcity in the graded pool is part of why a PSA 10 commands such a premium over the raw price, gem mint copies just do not flood the market the way common set cards do.
Where to pull it
Here is where PackSpy actually earns its keep. We have tracked 200 or more pulls of this Charmander across sites including courtyard, collector-crypt, tilt-rips, and mnstr, and it turns up in products like the Pokemon Pro Pack, Legendary Pokemon Gacha Pack, Pokemon Starter Pack, Elite Pokemon Gacha Pack, and Elemental Legends: Fire and Electric. The biggest recorded pull value we have logged for this card sits at $4,500, which shows just how wide the range can swing depending on condition and what else lands in that box. Worth remembering though, opening packs is a gamble and most rips do not come close to that number, so if you are chasing this Charmander specifically, buying a known raw or graded copy is the steadier route compared to hoping it shows up in a pack.
