Charmander (Japanese): Rarity & Collectibility
Charmander (Japanese) sits at the most plentiful end of the rarity scale — easy to pull and easy to find. Cataloged as Common #051/049 of the SV: Venusaur, Charizard & Blastoise Special Deck Set 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, SV: Venusaur, Charizard & Blastoise Special Deck Set #051/049) changes hands at roughly $3.09, 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 $3.09, whereas a Lightly Played one slides to around $46.58. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Charmander (Japanese) is valued near $158.00 — about 51x 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 $158.00 — roughly 51x 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 $59.00, CGC 10 $128.02, CGC 9.5 $29.99 — 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.
