Blaine's Charmeleon: Rarity & Collectibility
Blaine's Charmeleon in its sought-after Unlimited variant is an Uncommon, slightly scarcer than the base cards but still widely available. Cataloged as Uncommon #031/132 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 Charmeleon?
In 2026, a Near Mint Blaine's Charmeleon (Uncommon, Gym Challenge #031/132) changes hands at roughly $4.23, 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 $4.23, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $1.22. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $4.23, Lightly Played $2.98, Moderately Played $1.74, Heavily Played $1.53, Damaged $1.22 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Blaine's Charmeleon is valued near $99.99 — about 24x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Blaine's Charmeleon: 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 Charmeleon sits around $99.99 — roughly 24x 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 $28.52, CGC 10 $89.99, CGC 9.5 $27.00 — 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.
