Charmander (Japanese): Rarity & Collectibility
Charmander (Japanese) in its sought-after 1st_Edition variant sits at the most plentiful end of the rarity scale — easy to pull and easy to find. Cataloged as Common #003/032 of the CP3: PokeKyun Collection set, it is the kind of card RarePokemonCard tracks for scarcity and collector demand rather than raw price alone. The harder a card is to pull in top condition, the more weight serious collectors place on it.
How Rare & Valuable Is Charmander (Japanese)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Charmander (Japanese) (Common, CP3: PokeKyun Collection #003/032) changes hands at roughly $23.92, and availability keeps it within easy reach for collectors. Because demand concentrates on clean copies, surface wear is punished hard: a Near Mint example commands about $23.92, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $8.00. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $23.92, Lightly Played $17.77, Moderately Played $12.00, Damaged $8.00 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Charmander (Japanese) is valued near $155.00 — about 6.5x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Charmander (Japanese): Gem Mint & Population
Even for a card at this rarity, the top of the market belongs to certified gem-mint copies. A PSA 10 (or CGC 10 / BGS Black Label equivalent) Charmander (Japanese) sits around $155.00 — roughly 6.5x a raw copy. That gap exists because relatively few examples ever earn a perfect grade, so gem-mint population is the real scarcity collectors chase. Step down a notch and demand spreads across PSA 9 $69.00, CGC 10 $164.95, CGC 9.5 $21.99 — each tier a smaller, scarcer pool than the one below it. The rule of thumb for collectors: the rarer the card, the more a certified high grade matters to its standing.
