Chimchar #76 value & price

Tap to open
Chimchar is the little fire monkey that started a lot of Sinnoh-era collections, and this particular printing, card #76 from the 2007 Diamond & Pearl set, is a nice piece of that nostalgia with Ken Sugimori artwork on the front. If you are trying to pin down Chimchar value, the short answer is that as a common it sits at the affordable end, but the grading jump on this one is what makes people stop and look twice. It is a fun card to know the numbers on, whether you are pricing your own copy or just curious what a mid-2000s common like this actually trades for today.

The collector's take on Chimchar
Is Chimchar worth grading?
So is Chimchar worth grading? Raw copies sit around $3, and a PSA 10 climbs all the way to $210, which works out to about 77.8 times the raw price. That is a real gap for a common card, and it tells you gem mint copies are genuinely hard to pull off, since Diamond & Pearl era commons often show whitening or print lines that keep them out of a perfect 10. A Grade 9 lands at $175, which is honestly close enough to the PSA 10 number that grading only makes sense if you already believe your copy is sharp: clean corners, centered print, no surface marks under a light. Grading costs money and takes time, and there is no guarantee the card comes back a 10, so weigh that against what you are actually holding before you send it in.
How rare is Chimchar?
As a common from a mainstream 2007 set, Chimchar was never scarce in the way a secret rare or 1st edition holo might be, print runs for commons in this era were large and the card was easy to find in packs at the time. What makes the Chimchar price interesting now is not the raw supply but how few copies have survived in true gem mint condition over the years, which is exactly why that PSA 10 figure sits so far above the raw one. Scarcity here is really about condition, not print count: plenty of Chimchar cards exist, but clean, well-centered ones worth a Grade 9 or better are the ones actually driving the numbers people search for.
Where can you pull Chimchar?
Here is the honest, insider part: PackSpy has not recorded Chimchar #76 being pulled on any of the pack sites we track. That does not mean it is impossible to find, just that it is not showing up in the actual rip data we log across sites in real time, which is a pretty telling signal on its own for a card this old. In practice, most people looking to add this one to a collection end up buying it directly on the secondary market rather than chasing it through packs, since Diamond & Pearl product itself is long out of general circulation. If you are opening packs hoping to land it, go in knowing the odds are not in your favor and that opening packs generally is a gamble where most rips do not pay for themselves.
Questions people ask
How much is Chimchar worth?+
A raw, ungraded Chimchar #76 from Diamond & Pearl is worth about $3 in today's market. That is typical for a common from a 2007 set, and the real value story only kicks in once you look at graded copies, where a Grade 9 jumps to $175.
Is Chimchar worth grading?+
It can be, if your copy is genuinely clean, since a PSA 10 sells for $210 against a $3 raw price, a 77.8x jump. But grading costs money with no guaranteed outcome, and a near-perfect card that comes back a 9 still nets you $175, so only send it in if you are confident in the condition.
How much is a PSA 10 Chimchar worth?+
A PSA 10, gem mint Chimchar #76 is valued at $210. That is roughly 77.8 times what the same card fetches raw, which shows just how much collectors pay for a perfect example even on a common card.
