# Charmeleon #31/112 — FireRed & LeafGreen

## Summary

Charmeleon is the awkward middle child of a starter line fans adore, and a Kantō remake set like this one is where nostalgia buyers hunt the whole Charmander family. An uncommon was a routine mid-tier pull, so demand rests on Kouki Saitou's name and completionist habit, not scarcity. At a $1.99 modelled guide, up 3% over 30 days on 14 copies traded, with only 18 days of inventory on the board, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.18 out of Ascended Heroes; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
