Greetings collectors. I finally found time to get this thread going for my English Charmander master set. As it grows closer to completion I’m getting more and more excited to finish it. Also more frustrated lol.
Currently I have 91. One of the challenges of this endeavor has been finding a straight forward complete list strictly for English (so any feedback is welcomed if I’m missing something). It seems every list has discrepancies so one of my goals after completing this will be posting a readily available list just for English in chronological order. But from what I have gathered I believe there are 99 Charmanders, 100 if you include the 1 oversized card (not including Topps cards). It would be 102-3 if you included the weakness guards from Aquapolis. Again, if someone has a different figure please lmk.
Missing Charmanders: (not including the weakness guards (have 1) which I haven’t decided if I’m including.) I may start a separate section of binder for those and cameos.
- Legendary Collection reverse holo
- City championship stamp
- Delta species 37 Ditto Charmander reverse holo
- Delta species 61 Ditto Charmander Origins stamp 2007 promo
- EX Crystal Guardians reverse holo
- GameStop promo
- EBgames promo (I’m on the fence about including this).
8? I’m also missing the promo 44 Pokemon Center variation because I refuse to pay scalper prices. Looking at all of Charmander’s cards as a whole there is no justification for the price tag.
The ultimate goal is to take my collection over the top and get the entire set sequentially graded by PSA. However, I have been on the fence about that as well. I’ve been as mindful as I can be about condition of each card and will probably comb back over all of them several times before submitting. But with this many submissions avoiding anything lower than a 7 or ideally 8. And this is a tall task especially with vintage.
If anyone has any of the cards I mentioned needing for sale please feel free to reach out.
Here is the binder and page 1 to start:
Thanks everyone!

Only card I’m missing from page 2 is the Legendary reverse.
I have the Charmander 97 Expedition reverse holo in a PSA 9 so I just use my back up regular copy as a placeholder.
The holo energy card marks the end of WOTC era.
Only card missing from page 2 is the City Championship stamp variant.
The divider is used a placeholder for the Charmander 58 from FireRed LeafGreen I have graded (CGC 9.5/10).
