Charmander #038
moonstone has recorded 58 daily market prices for this printing between August 30, 2026 and October 27, 2026, and the price is up 4.1% over the trailing 30 days. A PSA 9 sells at a 90-day median of $41 across 452 sales, and the PSA 10 figure is 4.5x the raw market price. At today's price plus PSA Standard $59.99, the cheapest open tier insuring a $124.01 declared value ($87.67 all-in), grading breaks even at a 73% gem rate once the PSA 10 is netted for eBay's published selling fee; the registry's recorded gem rate is 84%. Shipping and insurance, to PSA and to the buyer, are not counted.
Every figure moonstone has recorded for this printing, with the unit it is measured in, the sample behind it and the day it is dated to.
| Figure | Value | Unit | Basis | As of |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Recorded market figure | $27.68 | USD | Recorded 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. | |
| Heavily Played quote | $36.97 | USD | The last Heavily Played copy the provider quoted for this printing. What a worn copy is worth, never this card's price: a price may only be published from a Near Mint quote observed inside 30 days | |

| PSA 9 90-day sold median | $41 | USD | A 90-day median of $41 across 452 sales verified as this card | |
| PSA 10 premium over raw | 4.5x | multiple | The PSA 10 figure above (a 90-day median of $124.01 across 1,784 sales) divided by the recorded raw market figure, whose condition the source does not state | |

How much is Charmander #038 from MEP Black Star Promos worth?
$27.68 raw, recorded October 27, 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 ask moonstone sets.
What is a PSA 10 Charmander #038 worth?
$124.01, a 90-day median of $124.01 across 1,784 sales we have verified as this card. That is 4.5x the raw price.
How many Charmander #038 has PSA graded?
36,484 copies sit on the PSA registry across all grades, and 84% of them came back a 10 (30,796 tens).
Is it worth grading Charmander #038?
At $27.68 plus PSA Standard $59.99 ($87.67 all-in), against a $124.01 PSA 10 and a $41 PSA 9 each netted for eBay's published selling fee, you need a 73% 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.
