# Charmeleon #102/100 — Stormfront

## Summary

Charmeleon sits in the awkward middle of the most beloved Kantō starter line, and Gen I Fire nostalgia keeps buyers coming back. Mitsuhiro Arita is the illustrator behind the original Base Set Charizard, so his name carries weight with veteran collectors, though a mid-tier Rare pull stays modest. The modelled guide sits at $110, up 1% over 30 days on 17 copies traded, with only 30 days of inventory on the board; the slab is the real edge, with PSA 10s at $38,900 and a 4% observed gem rate putting about $980 of expected profit per submission.
