# Charmeleon #3/12 — EX trainer Kit 2 (Minun)

## Summary

Charmeleon is the awkward middle child of the most beloved starter line, and Gen I Fire types never lose their audience. This is a trainer kit printing with no rarity tier, so it was never a pull, only a learner's deck card, and demand comes from Kouki Saitou's art and nostalgic completionists. At a $2.05 modelled guide, up 5% over 30 days on 4 copies traded, with 134 days of inventory on the board, 90% of this printing’s price is collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.21 out of Ascended Heroes; no PSA population is on file.
