Pokémon Card Deal Report

A genuine Unlimited Base Set Charizard the seller honestly calls LP, with off-center back print and no macro shots, so budget for a mid-grade rather than a gem. Flags: seller labels card LP (light played); back print noticeably off-center; no close-up of corners or holo surface to verify condition

A heavily played, creased and delaminating Rayquaza VMAX alt art with major edge and corner damage front and back — a clear PSA 1 (damaged) card, buy only if you want it as a filler/reader copy. Flags: multiple deep creases across front holo; heavy edge whitening and fraying on all four back edges; layer separation/delamination along back edges and corners; rounded/damaged corners; seller labeled listing DMG (damaged)

A genuine Champions Path secret rainbow Charizard VMAX with light corner/edge whitening likely landing in the PSA 5-7 range. Flags: whitening on back left edge and corners; surface haze on front

A genuine Unlimited Base Set Charizard but heavily creased, scratched and frayed — a damaged filler copy worth grading only for the name, likely PSA 1-1.5. Flags: multiple hard creases across front and back; corner fraying and layer separation; heavy edge whitening all around; heavy holo scratching; played/damaged condition

A Charizard VMAX secret rainbow shown only in one dark, blurry photo — condition unverifiable, buy with caution. Flags: single dark blurry front-only photo; no back shown; condition cannot be verified

A genuine Brilliant Stars Charizard V alt art but a self-described moderate-play copy with edge/corner whitening and a possible center crease — a mid-grade playable, not an investment card. Flags: seller-disclosed 'MODERATE PLAY'; possible bend/crease line across center; edge whitening visible on black borders; corner whitening top corners; back never shown — cannot verify back centering or wear

A clean, sharp Charizard — but note it is the 2022 Celebrations reprint, not a vintage 1999 Base Set, likely grading PSA 8-9. Flags: ©2022 copyright line — this is a Celebrations Classic Collection reprint, NOT the original 1999 Base Set card the title implies

A Charizard VMAX secret rainbow shown only in one blurry sleeved photo — condition cannot be confirmed. Flags: single blurry front-only photo in sleeve; no back shown; condition unverifiable

A Shining Fates (mislabeled) Charizard VMAX with heavy back edge damage and front creasing, grading around PSA 2-4. Flags: heavy whitening/chipping on back right edge and corners; surface scratches and bend on front; listing title says Champions Path 74/73 but this is actually Shining Fates SV107/SV122

1999 Base Set Unlimited Charizard with off-center front, visible holo scratching, and no back shown - a mid-grade played copy, realistically PSA 5-7. Flags: holo surface scratching visible; off-center ~60/40; back never shown; corner softness; 1999 Base Set Unlimited (shadowed, Wizards) - not 1st edition

This is a gold/metal novelty fake — the blank embossed metallic back confirms it is not an authentic card and PSA would not grade it. Flags: COUNTERFEIT/NOVELTY: blank embossed metallic back, not a genuine Pokemon TCG card; not gradeable by PSA

A clean-looking Gengar VMAX alt art with sharp corners and a tidy surface, but slightly off back centering and no close-up of the top edges/corners keep it a cautious PSA 7-8. Flags: back centering slightly off (narrow top border); top corners and side/top edges not shown close-up; 'E' edition code by set number (still an English-text card)

A vintage Base Set Charizard shown front-only with holo scuffing and soft corners, roughly PSA 4-6 pending a back photo. Flags: front-only photo (no back shown); surface scuffing on holo; glare from sleeve/toploader; genuine 1999 Wizards Base Set

A clean, glossy Shining Fates (mislabeled) Charizard VMAX rainbow that presents as near-mint, likely PSA 7-8. Flags: listing title says Champions Path 74/73 but this is actually Shining Fates SV107/SV122

A clean-looking English Gengar VMAX alt art with decent front centering and no obvious damage, but the soft photos hide the corners/edges and the back looks slightly off-center, so budget for a PSA 7-8. Flags: blurry/soft photos limit corner and edge verification; back centering appears slightly off (left border thicker); photo 00 has a yellow sleeve/glare edge that is not card damage; full-art black borders are prone to hidden edge whitening

Genuine Unlimited Charizard but well-worn — a visible crease through the holo plus heavy back-corner and edge fraying put it in the PSA 2-4 range. Flags: vertical crease/bend line through top border and holo; heavy whitening and fraying on back bottom-left corner and edges; genuine English Base Set Unlimited (real blue Pokeball back confirmed)

A sharp Gengar VMAX alt-art secret rare that looks near-mint, but slightly off-center backs and soft photos of the whitening-prone silver edges cap it around 7-8. Flags: back centering slightly bottom-heavy; silver-edge whitening can't be ruled out from soft photos; shown loose out of holder for 2 of 4 shots

A Charizard VMAX rainbow secret rare (Champions Path) that looks clean in its single front photo, but with no back or close-ups the corners, edges and delicate foil can't be verified. Flags: only one front photo, no close-ups; back never shown; rainbow secret rare foil hides/attracts fine scratches and edge whitening

Lost Origin Giratina V alt art with sharp close-up front photos showing clean corners and edges, but with no back shown it caps at a raw 7-8. Flags: back never shown — reverse centering, corners, edges, and surface unverifiable; top-left corner not individually pictured

A genuine unlimited Base Set Charizard with off-center back, holo scratches and a possible crease line, grading well below the 'EXC' the listing claims. Flags: back is off-center; possible crease/vertical line on back left; holo scratching on front; listed as EXC but presents more like a played copy

A genuine Unlimited Base Set Charizard in mid-grade shape — decent corners and edges but noticeable holo scratching keeps it in the PSA 5-7 range. Flags: light holo scratching across the foil; minor corner softening; slight edge whitening

A genuine but heavily creased and scratched 1999 Base Set Charizard beater that would grade PSA 1-2. Flags: heavy creasing front and back; deep holo scratches; whitening on all corners and edges; genuine 1999 Wizards Base Set Unlimited

Authentic Champions Path Charizard VMAX rainbow secret, but the angled, sleeved photos hide the corners and edges, so it could be anywhere from PSA 6 to 8. Flags: front photographed at an angle inside a penny sleeve; back shot loose on carpet in a yellow sleeve; possible crease line top-left of back (likely sleeve, unconfirmed); corners and edges never shown clearly

A genuine Unlimited Base Set Charizard shown front and back with only light wear — corner and edge whitening plus slight off-centering put it around PSA 5-7. Flags: whitening on top-right corner; light edge whitening along top; light holo scratching; slightly off-center

A clean, well-centered English Charizard V alt art with sharp visible corners and no surface flaws, but with no back shown it's a likely PSA 8 (possible 9) that a buyer should confirm on the reverse before paying a gem-mint price. Flags: back never shown (centering/edges/corners on reverse unverified); bottom-left corner not shown close-up

Effectively ungradeable — every photo shows only card backs, so the Charizard VMAX being sold is never actually pictured and its condition cannot be verified. Flags: ALL four photos show only generic Pokemon card BACKS laid out in a grid — the actual Charizard VMAX front is never pictured; listing may be a lot/stock-style photo; the specific card cannot be identified or graded; buyer should demand a photo of the actual card front before bidding

Genuine Champions Path Charizard VMAX rainbow secret, but the seller shows a group of copies at a distance rather than the exact card, so condition is unverified and estimated PSA 6-8. Flags: listing photos show MULTIPLE copies (2 fronts, 2 backs, then 5 cards) rather than the one card being sold; cannot identify or isolate the specific card the buyer receives; distance photos hide corner/edge/surface defects

Clean-looking Champions Path Charizard VMAX rainbow secret with good centering and no visible defects on either side; likely PSA 7-8, capped there because the photos aren't macro enough to guarantee mint corners/edges. Flags: single card, both sides shown loose (no sleeve) — best documented of the VMAX listings; medium-distance photos, not macro, so corners/edges only presumed clean

This is a gold metal novelty/replica, not a real WOTC Charizard — it has no collectible grade and PSA will not authenticate or grade it. Flags: NOT a genuine Pokemon card — gold-plated metal/foil novelty replica; not authentic and not gradable by PSA; only one photo, front only, no back shown; 'Pokemon Power' printed without accent, wrong art style — clear fake tell

A clean-looking English Gengar VMAX alt art that photographs well, but the soft, distant back shot means you're trusting it for edge wear, so cap expectations around an 8. Flags: back photo is blurry and shot at a distance, hiding possible edge/corner wear; no close-up coverage of any corner or edge

Genuine English Giratina V Lost Origin alt art honestly listed as LP — visible back edge whitening and off-center back point to a PSA 5-6. Flags: seller lists as LP (lightly played); edge whitening on back right/bottom edges; off-center back; front surface obscured by glare

Otherwise a well-centered, sharp-cornered English Unlimited Charizard, but a suspicious vertical line through the top border (possible crease) plus no back photos push a conservative estimate down into the PSA 5-7 range. Flags: vertical line through top yellow border — possible crease/bend or print line, major grade risk; back never shown (front-only listing); light whitening at bottom edge; cannot verify back condition

A Spanish-language Rayquaza VMAX alt art that looks presentable but is photographed too poorly to confirm corner, edge and surface condition — buy assuming risk. Flags: Spanish-language print (Evoluciona de Rayquaza V / Habilidad / Pulso Celeste); all photos out of focus and shot at an angle; condition cannot be reliably verified

A nice-looking Portuguese-language Glaceon VMAX alt art with good centering, but without close-up corner/edge shots it's an 8-ceiling card and buyers should note it's not English. Flags: card is printed in PORTUGUESE (PT), not English — 209/203 Evolving Skies; no macro close-ups of corners or edges on either side
