Tap to open
Charmeleon is one of those in-between cards that doesn't always get the spotlight, but this particular version, the 1st Edition #10 from the Japanese 20th Anniversary set, has quietly built a real following among collectors who know their stuff. It's a card from 2016, tied to a set that Pokemon fans still talk about fondly, and if you're here wondering about Charmeleon value, you're in good company. Raw copies sit around $5, but the ceiling on this card is a lot higher than that number suggests.

The collector's take on Charmeleon
Is Charmeleon worth grading?
So is Charmeleon worth grading? Here's the honest math: a raw copy runs about $5, a Grade 9 sits at $57, and a PSA 10 jumps all the way to $323, which works out to roughly 71.8 times the raw price. That's a genuinely big spread, and interestingly, the population numbers show that gem mint isn't some impossible dream here since a solid majority of graded copies do come back as PSA 10. That said, grading always costs money and time regardless of what comes back, and there's no guarantee your specific copy is the one with perfect corners and centering. If you've got a raw copy that already looks clean to your eye, sending it in can make sense, but go in knowing it's a bet, not a sure thing.
How rare is Charmeleon?
Only 572 copies of this card have been graded in total, and out of those, 407 came back as PSA 10. That's a small world to begin with, and it tells you two things at once: this isn't a card that floods the market, and when it does show up in gem mint, it's not exactly a needle in a haystack among graded copies either. The population that isn't PSA 10, spread across grades like 9 and below, is genuinely limited, which is part of why even a Grade 9 commands $57. Low overall population plus strong demand for the top grade is usually the recipe for a card holding its value, and Charmeleon fits that pattern.
Where can you pull Charmeleon?
We track pulls across a wide range of pack-opening sites here at PackSpy, and as of now, we haven't recorded a single Charmeleon 1st Edition #10 pull anywhere. That tells its own story: this isn't a card that's floating around in today's pack pools waiting to be ripped. If you want one, your realistic path is the secondary market, buying a raw or already-graded copy directly rather than hoping it lands in a pack. Worth remembering too that opening packs in general is a gamble where most rips don't pay off, so treat any pack odds involving a card like this as a long shot rather than a plan.
Questions people ask
How much is Charmeleon worth?+
A raw, ungraded Charmeleon 1st Edition #10 is worth about $5. Once graded, the value climbs fast: a Grade 9 sits at $57, and a PSA 10 reaches $323, making the jump to gem mint worth roughly 71.8 times the raw price.
Is Charmeleon worth grading?+
It can be, especially since a healthy share of the 572 graded copies have come back as PSA 10, meaning gem mint isn't rare among graded submissions. Just remember grading has real cost and risk attached, so it's worth it mainly if your raw copy already looks sharp.
Why is the Charmeleon 1st Edition #10 print worth more than the standard one?+
1st Edition prints are tied to a specific early print run, which naturally makes them scarcer and more sought after than later standard prints of the same card. That extra scarcity, combined with collector demand for anything marked 1st Edition, is generally what pushes the value upward.
