# Charmander #101/100 — Stormfront

## Summary

Charmander is a Gen I starter with a devoted following, and Mitsuhiro Arita is one of the most respected names in the game's art history, so a Rare Charmander from Stormfront draws collectors on pedigree alone. Its mid-tier pull status keeps it attainable, and a Diamond & Pearl era Fire starter carries real nostalgia. At a $204 modelled guide, down 11% over 30 days on 17 copies traded, with 60 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; the slab is the real edge, with PSA 10s at $2,700 and a 2% observed gem rate putting about $97 of expected profit per submission.
