# Charmeleon #012/094 — Phantasmal Flames

## Summary

Charmeleon is the awkward middle child of the Charizard line, but Gen I nostalgia keeps Kanto loyalists around. As a common here it fills binder pages for Fire collectors rather than anchoring a chase, and Uninori's name gives completionists a modest reason to look. At a $0.21 modelled guide, up 11% over 30 days on 259 copies traded, with 2,657 days of inventory sitting on the board, 5% of this printing’s price is collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.20 out of Ascended Heroes; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
