06Current Market Value

07Why Collectors Want It

• An SWSH-era promo print, distributed through one of the era's limited channels (sealed collection box, theme-deck giveaway, or anniversary promo).
• Raw asking sits around $15; the SWSH promo numbering goes deep, so the chase headliners in the subset tend to be the higher-numbered Charizard and Pikachu prints.
• A foundational entry for SWSH-era Charmander collectors building the whole promo line in order.
• Charmander stays a perennial fan favorite, so steady demand keeps even the deeper SWSH promos liquid in resale channels.
