07Why Collectors Want It

  • A Delta Species (δ) print from POP Series 5, the 2007 sanctioned-play-only promo set distributed at organized-play events.
  • Raw ~$25 vs. PSA 10 ~$555 — a ~22× grading multiple, well above the POP-era baseline for the Charizard line's mid-evolution slot.
  • The Delta Species crossover put Charmeleon in an alternate typing role for the duration of the δ run, keeping demand from δ-focused collectors steady.
  • A required pickup for any complete POP-era Charizard-line run or Delta Species collection.

08Competitive Playability

Tier: None

Stage 1 Charmeleon with 70 HP; top attack around 50 damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.

09Card Moves and Abilities

Thunder Jolt Cost: Lightning + Colorless + Colorless · 50 damage

Flip a coin. If tails, Charmeleon does 10 damage to itself.

10Grading and Population

PSA 10 estimate: Modern Common/Uncommon — most copies are not graded because raw value rarely justifies the fee.

Graded populations stay low; usually collected raw or sleeved rather than slabbed.

Other graders: Negligible BGS/CGC submission volume.
