Blaine's Charmander: Rarity & Collectibility
Blaine's Charmander in its sought-after Unlimited variant sits at the most plentiful end of the rarity scale — easy to pull and easy to find. Cataloged as Common #060/132 of the Gym Challenge 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 Blaine's Charmander?
In 2026, a Near Mint Blaine's Charmander (Common, Gym Challenge #060/132) changes hands at roughly $2.81, 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 $2.81, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $0.70. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $2.81, Lightly Played $1.78, Moderately Played $1.43, Heavily Played $0.87, Damaged $0.70 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Blaine's Charmander is valued near $119.99 — about 43x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Blaine's Charmander: 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) Blaine's Charmander sits around $119.99 — roughly 43x 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 $37.00, CGC 10 $69.99, PSA 8 $24.99 — 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.
