Its binder neighbours are Arcanine (#23) and Dewgong (#25). Charmeleon was printed without a holofoil panel; 16 of the 102 cards carry one. 11 Base Set cards print a higher HP than its 80. By checklist position it is 24 of 102, which puts it in the first third of the binder.
Which printing you are holding
Base Set shipped in three waves, so "Charmeleon" names three separate market objects. 1st Edition carries the edition stamp and a flat frame; Shadowless drops the stamp and keeps the flat frame; Unlimited restores the drop shadow. So Charmeleon will be priced three times over, not once: a blended median across the three would be a figure nobody paid.
