Charmander needs no introduction, it's the little orange lizard that got a whole generation into Pokemon in the first place, and this particular version, Charmander #98/SV-P from the Chinese Promo set, is one collectors keep circling back to. Right now the raw Charmander value sits at $35, which is a nice entry point for a card with this much nostalgia behind it. If you're trying to figure out what your Charmander is worth, whether it's fresh out of a pack or sitting in a binder, you're in the right place.

The collector's take on Charmander
Is Charmander worth grading?
So is it worth sending this one in? The math is actually pretty encouraging: a PSA 10 Charmander is valued at $113, which works out to about 3.2 times the raw price of $35. A Grade 9 comes in at $47, still a solid step up from ungraded. That said, gem mint is called gem mint for a reason, hitting a clean PSA 10 isn't guaranteed even on a card that looks perfect to the naked eye, and grading fees plus turnaround time are real costs you're paying upfront with no promise of the outcome you want. If your copy has sharp corners and clean edges under a light, it's worth the gamble. If it's got soft corners or a scratch you're hoping nobody notices, save your money and enjoy it raw.
How rare is Charmander?
As a Chinese Promo release, Charmander #98/SV-P sits in that promo tier where availability is already tighter than a mainline set card, and once you start climbing toward PSA 10 territory, the number of copies that survive packs, shipping, and handling without a single flaw shrinks fast. That's really the whole story behind why the jump from raw to Grade 9 to PSA 10 looks the way it does: fewer perfect copies exist than played or lightly handled ones, and the price reflects exactly that gap.
Where can you pull Charmander?
This is where PackSpy earns its keep, we don't just guess at rarity, we track it. Charmander has been pulled 200 or more times across the pack sites we monitor, including tilt-rips, courtyard, collector-crypt, mnstr, and other packs, so we know this isn't some mythical chase card, it shows up. We've recorded it turning up in the Pokemon Dollar Pack, Pokémon Master Pack, Pokémon Starter Pack, Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack, and Rookie Pack, and the biggest single pull we've logged for this card hit $369. Worth remembering though: pack odds are pack odds, most rips don't come out ahead, so treat any pull as a bonus rather than the plan.

Is Charmander worth grading?+
It can be, since a PSA 10 sits at $113 versus $35 raw, roughly 3.2 times the value. Just weigh that against grading costs and the honest chance your copy doesn't come back gem mint, a Grade 9 at $47 is still a fine outcome if it doesn't.
How much is a PSA 10 Charmander worth?+
