And, with one of the most recent auctions on the PWCC Marketplace, a 1999 Pok\u00e9mon Base Set Shadowless 1st Edition Holo Charizard sold for a record-breaking $420,000 USD. The Charizard in question was listed as a PSA 10 Gem Mint, the highest grading a card can receive from the card appraisal authority, but also was shown to have no visible whitening on the back with what appears to be perfect centering and no holo imperfections, which are all common detractors on older products.\u00a0 This auction, which concluded on March 19 and was recently finalized, continues to show how one of the most sought after and popular cards in Pok\u00e9mon history climbs in value.\u00a0 Related: $900,000 Pok\u00e9mon TCG trade includes 9 Charizards, Pikachu Illustrator Prior to this record-breaking sale, Base Set Shadowless 1st Edition Holo Charizards had a highly fluctuating price, with one of the highest auctions on record seeing a similarly appraised copy going for $300,000 in March 2021. PSA 10 copies were even noted as selling for between $20,000 and $60,000 from as early as 2017. See Pok\u00e9mon on Amazon \u201cFive years ago the average price for a PSA 10 copy was around the $20,000 range,\u201d PWCC Marketplace director of business development Jesse Craig said. \u201cNow we have a new record that is 20 times that amount. This is a card where demand continues to outweigh supply.\u201d PWCC also notes that, while 3,000 copies of this card have been submitted to PSA for grading, only 121 have been granted the PSA 10 Gem Mint designation as of this auction closing. Craig even mentioned this was \u201cone of the finest 10s we\u2019ve ever seen.\u201d Despite this record-breaking number, the Base Set Charizard doesn\u2019t even come close to eclipsing a copy of the elusive 1998 Japanese Promo Pikachu Illustrator card that sold for a record-breaking $900,000 price tag last month. This is the most a single Pok\u00e9mon card has ever sold for in an official transaction.\u00a0 In total, this makes this Base Set Shadowless 1st Edition Holo Charizard the third-highest auction closed in a public marketplace for a Pok\u00e9mon card of all time. While certain promo and event cards might be more valuable, Charizard cards of all kinds, but especially from the 1999 Base Set, are the most highly sought after by general collectors. Any set that contains a Charizard card is likely going to see a boost in sales because it is one of the most popular Pok\u00e9mon among fans, and recognizable by non-fans who simply buy the cards.\u00a0 This article includes affiliate links, which may provide small compensation to Dot Esports.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/07234236\/Charizard-base-set.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/558823"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1706"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=558823"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/558823\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":559233,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/558823\/revisions\/559233"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/468328"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=558823"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=558823"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=558823"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=558823"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=558823"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=558823"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=558823"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

And, with one of the most recent auctions on the PWCC Marketplace, a 1999 Pok\u00e9mon Base Set Shadowless 1st Edition Holo Charizard sold for a record-breaking $420,000 USD. The Charizard in question was listed as a PSA 10 Gem Mint, the highest grading a card can receive from the card appraisal authority, but also was shown to have no visible whitening on the back with what appears to be perfect centering and no holo imperfections, which are all common detractors on older products.\u00a0 This auction, which concluded on March 19 and was recently finalized, continues to show how one of the most sought after and popular cards in Pok\u00e9mon history climbs in value.\u00a0 Related: $900,000 Pok\u00e9mon TCG trade includes 9 Charizards, Pikachu Illustrator Prior to this record-breaking sale, Base Set Shadowless 1st Edition Holo Charizards had a highly fluctuating price, with one of the highest auctions on record seeing a similarly appraised copy going for $300,000 in March 2021. PSA 10 copies were even noted as selling for between $20,000 and $60,000 from as early as 2017. See Pok\u00e9mon on Amazon \u201cFive years ago the average price for a PSA 10 copy was around the $20,000 range,\u201d PWCC Marketplace director of business development Jesse Craig said. \u201cNow we have a new record that is 20 times that amount. This is a card where demand continues to outweigh supply.\u201d PWCC also notes that, while 3,000 copies of this card have been submitted to PSA for grading, only 121 have been granted the PSA 10 Gem Mint designation as of this auction closing. Craig even mentioned this was \u201cone of the finest 10s we\u2019ve ever seen.\u201d Despite this record-breaking number, the Base Set Charizard doesn\u2019t even come close to eclipsing a copy of the elusive 1998 Japanese Promo Pikachu Illustrator card that sold for a record-breaking $900,000 price tag last month. This is the most a single Pok\u00e9mon card has ever sold for in an official transaction.\u00a0 In total, this makes this Base Set Shadowless 1st Edition Holo Charizard the third-highest auction closed in a public marketplace for a Pok\u00e9mon card of all time. While certain promo and event cards might be more valuable, Charizard cards of all kinds, but especially from the 1999 Base Set, are the most highly sought after by general collectors. Any set that contains a Charizard card is likely going to see a boost in sales because it is one of the most popular Pok\u00e9mon among fans, and recognizable by non-fans who simply buy the cards.\u00a0 This article includes affiliate links, which may provide small compensation to Dot Esports.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/07234236\/Charizard-base-set.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/558823"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1706"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=558823"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/558823\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":559233,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/558823\/revisions\/559233"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/468328"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=558823"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=558823"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=558823"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=558823"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=558823"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=558823"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=558823"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
