Estimated value · Pack fresh
Based on 42 sold sales

Estimated. This card has enough sales to price the top 15% but not the top 5%, so pack-fresh is projected from the gap we measure between those two tiers on cards that do — about 1.4x on vintage, 1.2x on modern. $10.46. That's about +131% over a typical Near Mint copy.

ⓘ How do we work this out?

We take every real sale of this exact card over the last 12 months (42 sales), sort them by price, and read off the top 15% and top 5%. No multipliers, no guesses — the prices cleaner copies actually fetched.

Why cleaner copies cost more: buyers can see condition in the photos and pay for it. Listings sellers describe as pack fresh or gem mint land in this top band 1.7× more often than ordinary ones — the premium follows the card, not the hype.

Copies in this band are also the ones collectors send to grading: far more likely than a typical binder copy to be submitted at all — and to come back with the strong grade that carries the PSA prices shown on this page. That prospect is part of what buyers are paying for here.

These are read straight off this card's own completed sales — sort them by price and take the top 15% and top 5%. Whether your copy qualifies is a judgment made by looking at the card.

And here is what an ungraded copy has actually done. The line ends on the Near Mint price above — the same number, not a second one.

  • PSA 1,918 graded

The census is cumulative and counts resubmissions, so it skews toward nicer copies and overstates the gem rate a first submission should expect. Treat it as the ceiling.

The odds of pulling one

Charmander is a common card — a guaranteed slot in every pack rather than a rarity gamble, so there is no pull-odds figure for it.
