Graded MINT 9 by SGC. Beautiful high-grade example of the 1999 Base Set 1st Edition #4 Charizard, arguably the most popular and recognizable Pokemon outside Pikachu, the franchise's mascot. When Pokemon Base Set was released stateside in the late 1990s, the most sought-after cards were Charizard, Blastoise, and Venusaur, the final stage evolutions of the three starter Pokémon. However, as any '90s kid will tell you, "Charizard Mania" was on an entirely different level. Combine the card's timeless design with Charizard's breathtaking power and unforgettable presence in the wildly popular Pokemon anime series, and this card still has everything going for it. This example displays bold colors, centering slightly toward the right, and a clean surface. This is an exceptional card worthy of the finest Pokémon set or collection. Reserve $5,000.
