From 72 completed sales recorded between Mar 2, 2026 and Sep 3, 2026. Sold prices only — asking prices are never counted. The median above is computed over the 44 sales of the printing this page lists; 1st Edition and Shadowless copies are real sales of a different card and are shown separately rather than mixed in. The range is wide because these sales span different printings and conditions — 1st Edition, Shadowless and Unlimited copies all carry this card's name, and they trade at very different levels. Each sale above is labelled with what its listing claimed, so you can see which ones describe the same object. Treat the median as the typical copy, not the range.

Is Charmander worth grading?

$30

Expected return across every likely grade, after fees — the realistic average, not the best case. Only 9.5% of copies gem (PSA 10 best case +$125); most land at PSA 9 or below.

The odds

Charmander is a Commoncard — a guaranteed slot in every pack, not a rarity gamble, so there's no pull-odds figure for it.

PSA 10 (gem mint)9.4%177 of 1,882
PSA 930%564 of 1,882
PSA graded so far1,882
Gem Mint 10177
Total graded1,882

Estimates only. Pack odds come from CardTrack's pack model (the same one behind the pack simulator) — not an official rate. Grading odds are the real cumulative PSA population, which skews toward nicer, resubmitted copies, so it overstates the true first-submission gem rate. Full grade-by-grade breakdown below.

Grade-by-grade ROI & risk-adjusted outcomesNet vs raw per target grade, plus the probability-weighted distribution

⚖️ Risk-adjusted return

Best case isn't the whole story. Weighting every grade by how often it actually happens, across 1,866 PSA-graded copies:

Likely outcomeChanceValue
PSA 109.5%$200.00
PSA 930%$40.00
PSA ≤860.5%$23.00

Net = graded value − raw value − grading cost (tier fee + ~$20 round-trip shipping), using PSA fees as of 2026-06-28; the paused PSA Value tier is excluded so this isn't overstated. Gem rate is estimated from cumulative PSA population, which skews toward nicer, resubmitted copies — so it overstates the true grade rate. Treat it as a guide, not a guarantee.

Population across gradersPSA, CGC, BGS & TAG — every grade, with gem rates

What NM / LP / MP actually mean — and how much they cost

For context: a graded PSA 6 slab of this card sells for about $25 (cert-verified) — a heavily-played raw copy shouldn't cost much more than that.
