Charizard-GX

Charizard-GX sits in Burning Shadows, part of the Sun & Moon Era era on Cardboard Assets. Raw spot is $180 per the most recent manually verified value, last refreshed Jul 13, 2026.

I'm scoring this a 30/100 — CONSIDER. The math: $184 expected value at CGC Standard tier, less raw cost $180, less $25 grading fee, less $10 return shipping, less $25 eBay fee = −$56 net per copy. ROI works out to -31% on the raw cost basis.

CGC Standard tier turnaround runs about 30 days. Annualized for capital velocity, that's roughly +-376% APR — useful framing if you're thinking about this as a capital allocation, not a one-shot trade.

Pop is growing modestly — +29% Grade 10s in the last 30 days. Not a saturation alarm, but worth tracking. Honestly, the call gets clearer with another month of pop data.

Sourcing raw: at $180, source on TCGplayer near-mint listings or eBay BIN. Pictures matter — request high-res scans of corners and edges before buying. Anything obviously off-center isn't a Grade 10 candidate.

Risk to size: grading is one-way. Grading fees aren't refundable, the round-trip eats 30 days of capital, and the comp data lags real-time market shifts. For comparable plays in the same era, look at Charizard-GX and Charizard-GX. Numbers above pull from PSA POP Report, recent eBay sold listings, and live TCGplayer market prices.
