# Charmander #17/113 — Legendary Treasures

## Summary

Charmander is the starter that built a generation's loyalty, and Gen I Fire fans will pick up almost any printing of it. Among the commons in this Black & White-era set it was pack filler, so demand comes down to sentiment and binder completion. At a $2.77 modelled guide, up 3% over 30 days on 35 copies traded, with only 5 days of inventory on the board, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.16 out of Ascended Heroes; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
