What Is Charmander Worth?
Charmander (Reverse_Holofoil variant) is a Common card from the SWSH04: Vivid Voltage set, card number 023/185. 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.
Charmander Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Charmander (SWSH04: Vivid Voltage, 023/185) is worth around $0.48 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $0.48, while a Heavily Played one drops to roughly $0.35. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $0.48, Lightly Played $0.40, Moderately Played $0.34, Heavily Played $0.35 — 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 $42.51 — about 89x the raw price, which is the single biggest swing in this card's value. PSA 9 copies sit around $13.50.
Is It Worth Grading Charmander?
Grading Charmander can pay off concretely: the gap between its raw value ($0.48) and a PSA 10 ($42.51) is about $42.03 — a 89x uplift before grading fees. Other graded tiers we track: PSA 9 $13.50, CGC 10 $11.68, PSA 8 $19.99. At this value grading rarely makes sense — the fee usually exceeds the card's worth.
