Pokemon card price guide: raw and graded values, eBay sold prices and price history. Updated Oct 5, 2026.
The Charmander #46 oversized card from the original Base Set represents a jumbo-format piece rather than a standard trading card. Illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita, it mirrors the artwork found in the regular 1999 Base Set release. Oversized Pokemon cards were typically distributed through promotional channels rather than booster packs. This format sits outside the standard grading population most collectors track daily.
