The current Pokmon Card Value for a Charmander 1st Edition is as follows: PSA 10 : $979 PSA 9 : $300 The PSA Pop count reveals there are 652 PSA 10 graded cards and 661 PSA 9 graded cards available

Card number 59/204 features gorgeous artwork of the sorcerer villain, and is currently valued on TCGplayer at $11.24 USD
