Charizard (1st Edition Holographic)

Charizard (1st Edition Holographic) sits in Base1 1Ed, part of the WOTC Era era on Cardboard Assets. Raw spot is $5,500 per the most recent manually verified value, last refreshed Jul 13, 2026.

I'm scoring this a 14/100 — CONSIDER. The math: $2,269 expected value at BGS Standard tier, less raw cost $5,500, less $50 grading fee, less $10 return shipping, less $301 eBay fee = −$3,592 net per copy. ROI works out to -65% on the raw cost basis.

BGS Standard tier turnaround runs about 20 days. Annualized for capital velocity, that's roughly +-1192% APR — useful framing if you're thinking about this as a capital allocation, not a one-shot trade.

We don't have a 30-day pop snapshot yet for this card. Once weekly pop tracking accumulates, we'll show velocity here. Hard to read saturation risk without it.

Sourcing raw: high-end card. Don't buy without seeing high-resolution scans of every edge and the surface. Comp $5,500 is your ceiling — bid below it to leave room for grading risk. Auction houses (PWCC, Goldin) sell raw copies of cards in this range with provenance.

Risk to size: grading is one-way. Grading fees aren't refundable, the round-trip eats 20 days of capital, and the comp data lags real-time market shifts. For comparable plays in the same era, look at Charizard (Skyridge Crystal Holo) and Charizard (Skyridge Crystal Holo).
