Question 1

Is Chimchar worth grading?

Accepted Answer

So is Chimchar worth grading? Raw copies sit at $1, and a PSA 10 comes in at $1 too, with a Grade 9 actually valued a touch higher at $3. PSA 10 is generally pegged at about 1.8x the raw price for this card, but because the base value is already so low, that multiplier doesn't translate into much real money. Add in what a grading submission actually costs, plus the time it takes, and for a common like this it rarely makes financial sense unless you're grading for the love of having a gem mint copy rather than for profit. If you already have a raw Chimchar sitting in a sleeve, it's probably happiest staying that way.

Question 2

How rare is Chimchar?

Accepted Answer

There are 186 graded copies of Chimchar on record, and of those, 72 have hit PSA 10. That's a fair chunk landing at the top grade, which tells you this card isn't especially hard to get through grading in gem mint condition when a nice copy is submitted. For a common card, population numbers like this line up with what you'd expect: plenty of raw copies floating around, a smaller but still healthy pool graded, and gem mint status being reachable rather than rare. It's the kind of card where scarcity isn't really driving the price, the set and the print run are.

Question 3

Where can you pull Chimchar?

Accepted Answer

This is where PackSpy's own data gets interesting, because we track real pulls across pack sites rather than relying on price guides alone. Chimchar has been pulled 200 or more times across collector-crypt, courtyard, and tilt-rips, with the biggest recorded pull value hitting $150. We've also spotted it turning up in the Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack, Starter Pokémon Gacha Pack, Pokémon Pro Pack, Pokemon Dime Pack, and Anime Pop Culture Gacha. It's worth remembering that opening packs is essentially a gamble, and most rips end up losing money against what you paid, so pulling a common like Chimchar is a fun moment rather than a payday. If you just want the card itself without the risk, buying raw on the secondary market is by far the cheaper route.

Question 4

How much is Chimchar worth?

Accepted Answer

A raw, ungraded Chimchar from Majestic Dawn is valued at $1. It's a common card from 2008, so the price stays low and steady rather than swinging around, which makes it an easy, affordable card to pick up for a collection.

Question 5

Is Chimchar worth grading?

Accepted Answer

Not really, from a purely financial angle. Raw sits at $1 and PSA 10 is also valued at $1, with Grade 9 actually coming in higher at $3, so the grading fees would likely outweigh any gain. It's a fine card to grade if you love having a gem mint copy for personal satisfaction, just don't expect it to pay for itself.

Question 6

How much is a PSA 10 Chimchar worth?

Accepted Answer

A PSA 10 Chimchar is valued at $1, which works out to about 1.8x the raw price according to market tracking. Out of 186 total graded copies, 72 have reached that PSA 10 gem mint grade, so it's an attainable top grade rather than a rare one.
