The collector's take on Charmander
Is Charmander worth grading?
Here is where it gets interesting. A raw Charmander is worth $2, a Grade 9 jumps to $14, and a PSA 10 sits at $55, which works out to 27.1x the raw price. That is a real multiplier, no question, but getting a gem mint 10 is not guaranteed just because you send one in. Grading takes time and money, and if your copy comes back a 9 instead of a 10 you are looking at a much smaller return. If you already own a sharp, clean copy it can be worth the gamble, but go in knowing the outcome is never certain.
How rare is Charmander?
Only 103 copies of this Charmander have been graded in total, and of those, 57 are PSA 10. That is a fairly high share of gem mints relative to the population, which tells you that when collectors do send this card in, it tends to hold up well. Still, 103 total graded copies is a small number overall, and scarcity like that is part of what keeps demand steady even on a card that started out cheap.
Where can you pull Charmander?
This is where PackSpy's own tracking comes in handy, since we record real pulls across pack sites rather than relying on guesswork. Charmander has been pulled 200 or more times across tilt-rips, courtyard, collector-crypt, mnstr, and packs, with the biggest recorded pull value hitting $369. Collectors have found it in Pokemon Dollar Pack, Pokemon Starter Pack, Starter Pokemon Gacha Pack, Pokemon Dime Pack, and Pokemon Premium Pack, so it does turn up with some regularity if you are opening the right kind of packs. Just remember, opening packs is a gamble, and most rips do not cover their cost, so treat any pull as a bonus rather than a plan.
Questions people ask
How much is Charmander worth?+
A raw, ungraded Charmander #83 from the Start Deck 100 Battle Collection set is worth $2. Grading can raise that quite a bit depending on the grade you land, with a Grade 9 reaching $14.
Is Charmander worth grading?+
It depends on the condition of your copy. A PSA 10 sells for $55 against a $2 raw price, a 27.1x jump, but only 57 of the 103 graded copies have hit that gem mint grade, so it is not a sure thing.
How much is a PSA 10 Charmander worth?+
A PSA 10 Charmander #83 is currently valued at $55. That is a strong return over the raw $2 price, though gem mint copies make up just part of the 103 total graded population.
