![]() ![]() That‘s why 1st edition holographic Charizard is so incredibly rare and valuable today. This small set was printed for a limited time before Pokemania hit big. The 1st edition Base Set had just 102 cards total, with only 16 holographic rares. According to, Charizard first appeared in the 1999 Base Set as one of the original holographic cards. Let‘s dive in! A Brief History of Charizard Cardsīefore we get to the GX cards, it helps to understand the history and context around Charizard cards. In this guide, we‘ll take a detailed look at every Charizard GX card, its rarity, and today‘s values for PSA 10 graded copies. Well after digging deep into the data, I‘ve got some answers for you! There are a total of 10 Charizard GX cards printed so far: And within the Pokémon TCG, Charizard cards are some of the most valuable and sought-after.īut just how many GX variant Charizard cards are there? And which ones are the absolute rarest and most valuable for collectors and investors? Much like newer Pokemon sets.Hey friend! If you‘re a Pokémon card collector like me, you probably already know that Charizard is arguably the most popular Pokémon ever. In any given market, if everyone is speculating then the object of that speculation is a dubious investment. Everyone knows about speculating in Pokemon. That’s why you see tons of people sucking up Pokemon product and sitting on it hoping it’ll hatch one day into a nice nest egg. It’s Old Hat - Speculation is like a magic trick: once the market magicians do it and show their secrets, everyone can do it and the trick is worthless. ![]() You could buy several boxes only for them to be worthless 10 years from now due to a reprint. will decide to reprint a set or whether they will do it 1:1 etc. Reprints - As demonstrated with Roaring Skies, there’s no telling when the Pokemon Co. There will be a steady supply of new product for the next 20 years and then some. There’s no telling how many people are out there doing this but it’s definitely not a few. Supply - There are videos on youtube of people buying and sitting on (literally) pyramids of new product composed of dozens of booster boxes. New product doesn’t follow the same pattern as vintage product for the following reasons: holding, have already made their money with WOTC era product. People that were going to make huge piles of cash by “investing” i.e. There’s a more important idea that you’re overlooking here. Just buy what you like as opposed to risking it for the biscuit. So perhaps in 10-15 years the price of a burning shadows booster box might surpass flashfire (once kids get some sort of income and chase their nostalgia). However lots of kids grew up with this Charizard gx being their chase card, just as many of ours was base unlimited zard. In terms of looks, the hyper rare charizard gx looks gross and I’d rather have the full art Charizard ex from flashfire instead. There are a lot more burning shadows product than flashfire just because of the whole s&m printing boom. I think (I haven’t actually looked at any numbers) there are currently more PSA 10 rainbow rare charizards than probably both flashfire secret rares combined. Isn’t that why flashfire has increased so much faster than the sets around it? I know many people say this is a waste because they are printed so heavily, but because the Rainbow Rare Charizard is the only real chase card that has come out so far in Sun and Moon, I believe it can be valuable in the future. I am thinking about picking up a few sealed burning shadow booster boxes and holding on to them.
