Charmander #038

Every recorded figure, with its source and day

Charmander #038 from MEP Black Star Promos has a market price of $21.74 as of November 13, 2026, in a condition the source does not state. PSA 10 copies have sold at a 90-day median of $104.97 across 1,758 sales. PSA has graded 45,256 copies and 84% of them came back a 10 (37,974 tens).

moonstone has recorded 75 daily market prices for this printing between August 30, 2026 and November 13, 2026, and the price is down 21.6% over the trailing 30 days. A PSA 9 sells at a 90-day median of $37 across 453 sales, and the PSA 10 figure is 4.8x the raw market price. At the latest price, November 13, 2026, plus PSA Standard $59.99, the cheapest open tier insuring a $104.97 declared value ($81.73 all-in), grading breaks even at a 85% gem rate once the PSA 10 is netted for eBay's 13.25% selling fee; the registry's recorded gem rate is 84%. Shipping and insurance, to PSA and to the buyer, are not counted.

Recorded market figure$21.74USDRecorded TCGplayer daily market figure for this printing, dated to the day we recorded it and not to a day anyone observed a copy. The recorded ladder prices a played copy above a mint one, so its Near Mint rung is not a market reading, and so moonstone publishes it as a recorded market figure of unstated condition and not as this card's Near Mint price.

How much is Charmander #038 from MEP Black Star Promos worth?

$21.74 raw, recorded November 13, 2026. That is TCGplayer's daily market figure for this printing, and the source states no condition for it, so moonstone does not publish it as a Near Mint price. It is not an asking price moonstone sets.

What is a PSA 10 Charmander #038 worth?

$104.97, a 90-day median of $104.97 across 1,758 sales we have verified as this card. That is 4.8x the raw price.

How many Charmander #038 has PSA graded?

45,256 copies sit on the PSA registry across all grades, and 84% of them came back a 10 (37,974 tens).

Is it worth grading Charmander #038?

At $21.74 plus PSA Standard $59.99 ($81.73 all-in), against a $104.97 PSA 10 and a $37 PSA 9 each netted for eBay's 13.25% selling fee, you need a 85% chance of a 10 to break even. The registry's recorded gem rate is 84%. Shipping and insurance, to PSA and to the buyer, are not counted. That is arithmetic on recorded figures and published fees, not advice.
