Question 1

Is Charmander worth grading?

Accepted Answer

So is Charmander worth grading? Here's the honest answer: a PSA 10 sits at $3,464 against a raw price of $342, which works out to about 10.1x. That's a genuinely big jump, and it's the reason people send cards off in the first place. But gem mint is called gem mint for a reason, it's hard to hit, especially on a card printed back in 2002 when edges, centering and surface wear weren't exactly a priority for whoever was storing it. A Grade 9 lands at $1,772, still a nice step up from raw, so even a near-miss on gem mint pays off. Just go in with eyes open: grading costs money and time, there's no guarantee your copy comes back a 10, and plenty of raw cards come back lower than hoped. If your copy looks clean under a light, it's worth the shot. If it's got soft corners or print lines, raw might be the smarter play.

Question 2

How rare is Charmander?

Accepted Answer

Charmander in this print is a common card, which means it wasn't scarce the day it left the factory, Legendary Collection had a healthy run back in 2002 and commons like this one were never chased the way a holo rare would be. What makes it interesting now is time. Two decades of handling, trading, and just cards getting lost or beat up means clean raw copies and true gem mint examples are a lot harder to find today than the print run once suggested. That quiet scarcity is a big part of why the value has climbed the way it has, even for a common.

Question 3

Where can you pull Charmander?

Accepted Answer

This is where PackSpy's own data comes in, because no price guide tracks this part. We've recorded Charmander pulled 200 or more times across tilt-rips, collector-crypt, mnstr, courtyard, and packs, so it's genuinely out there in the pack-opening world, not just sitting in old binders. The biggest recorded pull we've logged came in at $369. If you're chasing it yourself, we've seen it turn up in the Pokemon Dollar Pack, the Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack, the Pokemon Dime Pack, Pack 1, and the Rookie Pack. Worth saying plainly though: opening packs is a gamble, most rips don't come out ahead, and this data is really about knowing where the card actually shows up, not a promise you'll pull one yourself.

Question 4

How much is Charmander worth?

Accepted Answer

Right now the raw or ungraded Charmander Reverse Holo #70 is valued at $342. Graded copies climb from there, with a Grade 9 sitting at $1,772 and a PSA 10 reaching $3,464. So the price really depends on condition and whether it's been graded.

Question 5

Is Charmander worth grading?

Accepted Answer

It can be, since a PSA 10 is worth about 10.1x the raw price of $342, landing at $3,464. But gem mint is tough to land, and even a Grade 9 at $1,772 is a solid outcome, so weigh the cost and risk of grading against how clean your copy actually looks first.

Question 6

Why is the Charmander Reverse Holo #70 print worth more than the standard one?

Accepted Answer

The reverse holo treatment gives the card a shine the standard print doesn't have, and collectors have always paid a premium for that extra visual pop even on a common card. Combined with it coming from the 2002 Legendary Collection set, that reverse holo version holds a noticeably higher value than a plain non-holo copy.
