Frequently asked questions
How much is the Base Set Charmander?
Charmander has a market price of $0.19 as of 2026-09-24. It is a Common (#46/102), a 50 HP Fire Basic illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita. We record this price daily from TCGplayer listings, starting 2026-09-24.
Is Charmander from Base Set rare?
No — it is a Common at 46/102 with no holographic treatment in this printing. Within the cards on this page it still prices a couple of cents above the cheapest commons (Bulbasaur at $0.17), which reflects pull from the Charizard evolution line.
Why is Charmander cheaper than Charizard?
Charmander is a Common Basic at $0.19; its Stage 2 evolution Charizard is a Rare Holo at $184.74 (recorded 2026-09-26). The rarity tier and the demand for the final evolution's artwork account for the roughly thousand-fold gap.
Is it worth selling a single Base Set Charmander?
On its own, no — fees and shipping exceed $0.19. Charmander moves inside bulk lots of Base Set commons and in Abra-to-Charizard evolution-line groupings. Check the per-card market price we record daily before accepting a lot offer that bundles it.
