Charmander: Rarity & Collectibility
Charmander in its sought-after Holofoil variant is a Secret Rare — a top-of-the-set short print and one of the toughest cards to land in the wild. Cataloged as Secret Rare #113/112 of the FireRed & LeafGreen 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?
In 2026, a Near Mint Charmander (Secret Rare, FireRed & LeafGreen #113/112) changes hands at roughly $50.20, and its scarcity does most of the heavy lifting on that figure. Because demand concentrates on clean copies, surface wear is punished hard: a Near Mint example commands about $50.20, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $24.14. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $50.20, Lightly Played $70.86, Moderately Played $30.44, Heavily Played $25.50, Damaged $24.14 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Charmander is valued near $1,250 — about 25x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Charmander: Gem Mint & Population
For a chase card like Charmander, the high-grade market is where the real money lives. A PSA 10 (or CGC 10 / BGS Black Label equivalent) Charmander sits around $1,250 — roughly 25x 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 $151.11, CGC 10 $810.00, CGC 9.5 $115.00 — 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.
