Pokémon Card Deal Report

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

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

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 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

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 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 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 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

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

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

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 restored/altered Unlimited Base Set Charizard 4/102 with visible recoloring and heavy corner wear at top-left — PSA would flag it as Altered rather than assign a numeric grade, so it's a filler/reader's copy, not an investment piece. Flags: LISTING SELF-DECLARED 'RESTORED' — card is altered; restoration/recoloring visible at top-left corner and border; heavy corner whitening/fraying top-left; edge whitening front; holo scratches; PSA would deem this ALTERED / not gradable (no numeric grade)

A clean-presenting Giratina V alt art with both sides shown and no obvious damage, but soft photos and no corner/edge close-ups mean edge whitening on the silver border can't be ruled out — realistically an 8. Flags: no close-up macro of corners or edges — defects could be hidden; silver-bordered alt art shows whitening easily and cannot be ruled out; soft/blurry photos limit corner and edge verification

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 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 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

Unlimited Base Set Charizard with decent centering but a top-right corner ding and scattered holo scratches, landing it in the mid played range. Flags: top-right corner ding/whitening; fine holo scratches throughout foil; back never shown

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 genuine 1999 Base Set Unlimited holo Charizard but a clearly played copy — off-center with corner and edge whitening — realistically a PSA 4-6, not a mint card. Flags: front corner whitening (top-left); edge whitening on yellow border; off-center front (~60/40+ left); seller-listed as Light Play

The cleanest of the four Charizards - a bright, sharp-cornered Unlimited Base Set holo that presents near-mint on the front, but the missing back and lack of corner/edge close-ups cap it at PSA 8. Flags: back never shown; no dedicated close-up of each corner/edge

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

A clean-looking Base Set Unlimited Charizard with sharp corners and solid centering, but faint holo scratches under angled light likely keep it in the 6-8 range. Flags: light holo scratches visible under angled light; corners/edges not shown at macro

A genuine unlimited Base Set Charizard with fairly clean corners but noticeable holo scratching on the front, landing it in the mid-grade played range. Flags: noticeable holo scratching on front; slight back off-centering; light back edge whitening; handheld photos

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 Base Set Charizard 4/102 that looks decent and reasonably centered, but the sleeve hides the edges/corners and the holo doesn't shine in the photo, so grade and even holo status need in-hand confirmation. Flags: card is inside a penny sleeve, obscuring edges and corners; holo shine not visible in front photo — confirm it is a genuine holo; only two photos

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 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

A clean-looking Evolving Skies Rayquaza VMAX alt art with sharp back corners in the closeups, but the seller's own LP label and the lack of tight front corner/surface shots warrant a cautious 6-8 range. Flags: seller self-describes as LP (lightly played) — implies genuine wear not fully captured; no close-up of front corners/edges; possible minor left back edge disturbance in corner closeup

An Unlimited Base Set Charizard with visible holo scuffing shown only from the front through a toploader — no back or corner detail, so grade this conservatively in the 4-7 range pending in-hand inspection. Flags: only one front photo, through toploader/sleeve; back never shown; visible holo surface scratching/scuffing; glare and distance obscure corners and edges

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
