# Charmander #12/181 — Team Up

## Summary

Charmander is among the most beloved starters ever, and a Common from Team Up is an easy, affordable way to own a version of it. Atsuko Nishida is a longtime Pokémon artist whose name carries weight with collectors, though a common slot limits how far that demand can stretch. At a $0.56 modelled guide, up 8% over 30 days on 34 copies traded, with 970 days of inventory sitting on the board, 71% of this printing’s price is 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.
