Tap to open
Charmeleon has always had a soft spot in collectors' hearts, that middle stage on the way to Charizard that never quite gets the spotlight but still matters to anyone building out the line. This particular Charmeleon value comes from the Reverse Holo #28 printing in Power Keepers, an uncommon card from 2007 illustrated by Midori Harada, and it's the kind of card people search out years later just to see what their old binder copy might be worth. If you're wondering how much is Charmeleon worth today, the short answer is it's a modest but real piece of Pokemon history that still moves in both raw and graded form.

The collector's take on Charmeleon
Is Charmeleon worth grading?
So is Charmeleon worth grading? Right now a raw, ungraded copy sits around $26, while a PSA 10 gem mint jumps all the way up to $895, which works out to about 34.1 times the raw price. That's a big multiplier on paper, but getting a genuine gem mint 10 on a reverse holo from 2007 is never a sure thing, surface print lines and centering on these older reverse holos can be unforgiving under a grader's light. A Grade 9 lands at $152, which is still a solid step up from raw if a 10 doesn't come through. Factor in grading fees and turnaround time before you send one in, and treat it as a bet on the card's condition rather than a guaranteed payout.
How rare is Charmeleon?
Power Keepers wasn't a massive mainstream set to begin with, and uncommons from that era were printed in the volumes typical of the time, not chased or hoarded the way holo rares were. That means clean raw copies aren't impossible to find, but a true PSA 10 Charmeleon is a different story entirely, since so few copies from 2007 survived years of shuffling, sleeving and casual play without a corner ding or a scratch. That scarcity in top grade is exactly why the gap between raw and PSA 10 value is so wide, it's not that the card is rare in general, it's that gem mint condition is the rare part.
Where can you pull Charmeleon?
We've tracked 51 real pulls of this Charmeleon across pack sites including collector-crypt and mnstr, and the biggest recorded pull came in at $8,900, which shows just how much a single lucky rip can swing when the right buyer is watching. It's shown up in a mix of packs, from Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack and Legendary Pokémon Gacha Pack to more general offerings like Pack 1, Anime Pop Culture Gacha, and Mythic Pokémon Gacha Pack. That spread tells you it's not locked to one specific product, it turns up here and there across gacha style openings, which is exactly the kind of cross-site pattern a static price guide can't show you but our live pull data can. Just remember that pack opening is still a gamble by nature, most rips don't hit anywhere near that $8,900 outlier, so chase it for the fun of the pull, not as a financial plan.
Questions people ask
How much is Charmeleon worth?+
A raw, ungraded Charmeleon Reverse Holo #28 from Power Keepers is valued around $26. Graded copies climb from there, with a Grade 9 at $152 and a PSA 10 gem mint reaching $895, so condition really does most of the talking on this Charmeleon value.
Is Charmeleon worth grading?+
It can be, since a PSA 10 sits at roughly 34.1 times the raw price of $26, but gem mint is genuinely hard to hit on an older reverse holo like this one. If your copy already looks sharp with clean edges and centering, grading is worth considering, otherwise the fees and risk may eat into the upside.
What set is Charmeleon from?+
This Charmeleon comes from the Power Keepers set, released in 2007, where it appears as an uncommon reverse holo numbered 28 and illustrated by Midori Harada. It's a fun one for anyone collecting the full Charmander to Charizard evolution line from that era.
