# Charmeleon #RC4/RC32 — Generations

## Summary

Charmeleon sits in the Radiant Collection side of Generations, where the real chase was the shiny Charizard, so this stage-one common is a quiet filler pull. Fire starters keep a steady fan base, and Akira Komayama's name adds a small illustrator hook for completists. At a $17 modelled guide, flat over 30 days on 69 copies traded, with 575 days of inventory on the board, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.20 out of Ascended Heroes; no PSA population is on file, and a CGC 10 would fetch about $250 against $45 in grading fees.
