# Charmeleon #28/108 — Power Keepers

## Summary

Charmeleon rides the enormous goodwill of the Charizard line, and that middle stage rarely gets its own spotlight. As an uncommon in a late EX-era set, it was a plain pull and a stepping stone for decks, so demand comes from Charizard completists and Midori Harada's long Pokémon illustration run. At a $2.37 modelled guide, up 12% over 30 days on 11 copies traded, with only 30 days of inventory on the board, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.20 out of Phantasmal Flames; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
