Japanese Charizards
Japanese cards have their own price lines. The first Japanese Base Set (Expansion Pack, released October 20, 1996 per Wikipedia) Charizard without a rarity symbol, listed by PriceCharting as Charizard [No Rarity] #6, is $8,700 raw and $100,665.45 in grade 9; the later print with the symbol is $322.50 raw and $23,411.78 in PSA 10 (PriceCharting, 2026-09-25). A 1996 Japanese holo Charizard in PSA 10 signed by the artist Mitsuhiro Arita sold for $324,000 on April 16, 2022 (Wikipedia). More on our Japanese card value page.
How do I know if my Charizard card is worth anything?
Work through these checks; each one moves the price more than the one after it.
- Read the number and set. 4/102 with no set symbol is Base Set; a number out of 130 is Base Set 2; 11/108 is the 2016 Evolutions reprint of the Base Set art. See set symbols and numbers.
- Look for the 1st Edition stamp and the art-box shadow on 1999–2002 cards. The same Base Set Charizard is $436.95 raw as Unlimited and $9,526.88 as 1st Edition (PriceCharting, 2026-09-25). See 1st Edition and Shadowless.
- Read the name line. Shining, Dark, Blaine's, Gold Star and Radiant Charizards are separate cards with separate prices; Radiant Charizard is $13 raw, Gold Star Charizard $3,161.41.
- Check for stamps and promo numbers. Prerelease, staff and box-topper versions have their own lines; the Evolutions Charizard with a prerelease staff stamp is $1,500 raw against $69.99 for the regular card (PriceCharting, 2026-09-25).
- Judge condition. Whitening on the back edges, scratches on the holo and off-center borders pull a card out of the 9 and 10 grades where most of the money is. See card grading.
- Rule out a fake. Compare the back, the holo and the print with the fake-card checklist before pricing it.
Grade matters more on older Charizards
Dividing PriceCharting's PSA 10 value by its raw value (both 2026-09-25) shows how much a top grade adds:
- Expedition #6: $403 raw, $85,484.50 PSA 10, about 212 times
- Base Set 1st Edition #4: $9,526.88 raw, $335,180.14 PSA 10, about 35 times
- Skyridge #146: $5,797.02 raw, $100,301.50 PSA 10, about 17 times
- Radiant Charizard #20: $13 raw, $142.32 PSA 10, about 11 times
- Charizard ex #199 (151): $327.08 raw, $1,412.50 PSA 10, about 4 times
An old card with modest raw value can be the best candidate for grading if it is clean; a modern card rarely repays the fee unless it is already expensive raw.
Record Charizard sales
The highest Charizard sales in Wikipedia's list of the most expensive collectible card game cards:
- Topsun blue back Charizard, PSA 10: $493,230, January 2021, Goldin
- 1st Edition Base Set Charizard, PSA 10: $420,000, March 2022, PWCC Marketplace

No Charizard reaches $1,000,000 in that list; every Pokémon card above that mark there is a Pikachu Illustrator. The 1st Edition sales are covered in detail on our 1st Edition Charizard page.
How to photograph a card for a price check
Lay the card flat on a dark surface in daylight and photograph it straight on with the whole card in frame, then take a close-up of the lower edge where the set symbol or set code, the card number and any edition mark sit. Tilt holo cards for a second shot so the foil pattern shows, and photograph the back. FoilLens reads the card name, set and number from the photo and shows a market reference; the print, stamp and condition checks on this page decide which of the 30 price lines applies to your Charizard.
