Combusken is the awkward teenage stage between Torchic and Blaziken, and its cards have stayed cheap for it — no Gold Star, no big chase. The reward for digging here is a single stubborn Nintendo promo and a few scarce organized-play prints.
One pricey promo up top, a couple of league-only POP cards, then a deep run of vintage commons — ranked priciest first.
The clear standout of the line: an early Nintendo black-star promo from the post-WotC handoff. Limited distribution plus the usual promo wear make clean copies far scarcer than a middle-evolution card would suggest, which is why it laps the rest of the list.

From EX Emerald (2005), carrying that set's signature reverse-holo look. A tidy mid-card that set-completists pay a premium for over the bulk versions further down.

A POP Series 3 organized-play promo (2006) — handed out only through league play, never in packs. Small original supply keeps it a step above the commons.

A second organized-play promo, this time POP Series 4. Same league-only origin as the POP 3 above, a notch more available but still scarcer than its price implies.

The original 2003 EX Ruby & Sapphire Combusken — the first card the middle stage ever got. Dollar-bin money now, but a genuine piece of Hoenn's debut.

From EX Dragon (2003), an early Hoenn-era set. A crisp vintage common with that first-wave look collectors still enjoy.

A Combusken from EX Crystal Guardians (2006), the standard print. Pure bulk, but a clean mid-2000s filler for the line.

A second Crystal Guardians Combusken variant, sibling to the one above. About as affordable as the hobby gets — true filler.

Another Ruby & Sapphire print, twin to #28 above. Tiny money, but a clean slice of 2003 history.

From Platinum-era Great Encounters (2008), the cheapest card on the list. Pennies, but a neat way to round out a complete Combusken set.
