What Is Charmeleon Worth?
Charmeleon is an Uncommon from Base Set 2, card number 035/130. On PokeCardWorth we focus on one question — what is it actually worth — and at its current valuation, it is an affordable, easy-to-find card best valued as part of a complete set rather than on its own.
Charmeleon Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Charmeleon (Base Set 2, 035/130) is worth around $1.75 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $1.75, while a Damaged one drops to roughly $0.44. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $1.75, Lightly Played $0.94, Moderately Played $0.72, Heavily Played $0.55, Damaged $0.44 — so grading the condition correctly before you buy or sell matters more than almost anything else. A PSA 10 (Gem Mint) example is valued near $105.68 — about 60x the raw price, which is the single biggest swing in this card's value. PSA 9 copies sit around $22.99.
Is It Worth Grading Charmeleon?
Grading Charmeleon can pay off concretely: the gap between its raw value ($1.75) and a PSA 10 ($105.68) is about $103.93 — a 60x uplift before grading fees. Other graded tiers we track: PSA 9 $22.99, CGC 10 $120.00, PSA 8 $27.50. At this value grading rarely makes sense — the fee usually exceeds the card's worth.
