Collecting Chimchar

None of Chimchar's 16 cards have reached premium pricing, and 14 of those cards are common or uncommon, making the starting stage of the fire line inexpensive to fill out. The top card is still its original 2007 DP Black Star promo. Kouki Saitou and Kagemaru Himeno have each illustrated it three times, tying for the most credits on a Pokemon whose whole catalog stays firmly budget-friendly.
