The Most Expensive Charizard TCG Card:

Base Set Shadowless Charizard 4 - Holo Rare

Charizard 4 Shadowless Holor Rare Base Set

This card is one of the most rare and valuable cards in the Pokémon TCG world. The card was released in the Base Set in 1999 with limited quantity. The absence of the shadow underneath Charizard, is actually a printing error that was done. However, the error has made this card so specific, special and even more rare (Jarvis, Dicebreaker, 2022).

Top Charizard TCG Cards

Skyridge Charizard 146 Secret Rare

Illustrator, Kouki Saitou, allows fans to see a Charizard close up in great detail of his face and claws. This is another rare card since there has only been about 400 cards graded by PSA (Sportscardsrock, 2022).

Neo Destiny Charizard 107 Secret Rare

Shining Charizard Neo Destiny

This is the third and last Charizard TCG card with the 1st Edition logo. The illustration was made by Hironobu Yoshida. What makes this so cool is that is a shinning card. The background of the card is non-holographic, but the Charizard is holographic (Wyche, Thegamer, 2021).

XY Evolution Charizard 11 (Staff Prerelease)

Charizard 11 XY Evolution Staff Prerelease

Staff Prerelease cards are given to the staff that helps with prerelease events. For the XY prerelease, there were Charizard, Newtwo, Blastoise, Machamp staff prerelease cards. The staff vs the non-staff cards are identical, but the staff prerelease cards have staff stamp. These cards are rare sense there is a low amount of staff prerelease cards and even fewer that are dedicated to Charizard (PSACollector, 2022).

Dragon Frontiers Charizard Star (Delta Sepcies) 100 Ultra Rare

Illustrator, Masakazu Fukuda, created a Shiny or an Alt Charizard Pokémon. Ex Dragon Frontiers was the first expansion to have Pokémon popping off the card instead of confined to a picture box. This is also the only Charizard TCG that requires dark energy to attack (PSACollector, 2022).
