+

Charmeleon #99/97 is trending up: $132.55 today, up 12% in 30 days and at its highest since we began tracking (2024-02-08), set 2026-10-27, and 2.5x its low of $53.49 (2024-02-27).

What is the all-time high price for Charmeleon?

+

TickerMint began tracking Pokemon prices on 2024-02-08, after Charmeleon came out, so these are the highest and lowest prices since we began tracking (2024-02-08), not all-time records. In TickerMint's daily data (since February 2024), the TCGplayer market price for Charmeleon [Holofoil] (all conditions) peaked at $132.55 (2026-10-27) and bottomed at $53.49 (2024-02-27).

Is Charmeleon #99/97 worth grading?

+

Grading Charmeleon #99/97 does not pay even for a 10: PSA 10 copies are listed from $133.19 on eBay (eBay asks checked Oct 27, 2026) vs $132.55 raw (TCGplayer market), and after a $25 grading fee, $10 shipping and 13% selling fees a 10 nets $80.88, less than the $115.32 a raw sale nets. That assumes a 9 or lower sells like a raw copy. "Listed from" is the lowest current PSA 10 asking price on eBay, not a sale, and asks can sit above what copies actually sell for. Whether your copy grades a 10 depends on its centering, corners, edges and surface.
