Pokémon Card Deal Report

A genuine English Evolving Skies Rayquaza VMAX alt art, but heavily played — rounded corners, extensive edge whitening, and likely creasing put it firmly in the low-grade (PSA 2-4) range. Flags: rounded/worn corners on all four corners; heavy edge whitening all around; possible creases visible on back; overall heavily played condition

Sharp-looking English Gengar VMAX alt art with clean-appearing front and roughly 55/45 centering, but with no back photo the true condition of the reverse and all edges is unverified, so treat 8 as a ceiling. Flags: back never shown (caps grade at 8, widens range down); edges/corners not verifiable at close resolution; strong holo glare hides potential surface scratches

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 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 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

The copyright reads ©2022 (authentic Base Set Unlimited reads ©1999 Wizards) and the picture box shows no holofoil — this is almost certainly a counterfeit/reproduction rather than a genuine WOTC Charizard, so it is effectively ungradeable. Flags: copyright line reads '©2022 Pokemon/Nintendo/Creatures/GAME FREAK' — a genuine Base Set Unlimited Charizard reads '©1995, 96, 98 Nintendo, Creatures, GAMEFREAK. ©1999 Wizards.'; no Wizards of the Coast copyright present; picture area appears non-holo/matte, not foil; strong counterfeit / reproduction indicators — PSA would likely return this as not authentic (ungradeable)

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

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 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 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

Genuine English Base Set Charizard 4/102 holo, but the sole photo is a low-res gallery screenshot with no corner/edge/back detail, so condition is unverifiable and should be treated cautiously. Flags: single low-resolution eBay-gallery screenshot, not a proper scan; back of the actual card never shown (only a partial thumbnail of a card back); no corner or edge detail visible; centering slightly off

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 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

Authentic 1999 Unlimited Base Set Charizard with decent centering but noticeable top-edge and top-corner whitening plus light holo scratching, and no back photos — likely a PSA 6-7. Flags: whitening on top front edge; whitening at top-left and top-right corners; back never shown (cannot verify back edges/corners); light holo scratching

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 sharp-looking English Evolving Skies Rayquaza VMAX alt art that photographs well, but it's shot through a sleeve/toploader with off-center back centering, so the true grade is likely a 7-8 pending a hands-on look at the corners and holo surface. Flags: card sealed in penny sleeve inside toploader (limits corner/edge/surface inspection); back centering off, left border wider than right (~60/40); only one back corner/edge shown close-up; front corners not verifiable due to glare

A clean, well-centered Gengar VMAX alt art with sharp corners and no visible edge wear front or back, presenting as a strong 8-9 candidate pending closer corner/edge inspection. Flags: no dedicated macro shots of individual corners/edges; possible faint surface lines near bottom that could be holo texture or glare

Clean-looking English Giratina V alt art with a sharp front, but back-edge close-ups reveal minor roughness and a faint nick on the bottom edge that keep it out of gem-mint territory. Flags: minor roughness/whitening on back bottom edge; faint nick near back bottom-left corner; possible faint indentation lines on back bottom border; no dedicated close-ups of front corners/edges or top/side edges

English Lugia V alt art that photographs nicely on the front, but the back reveals top-corner whitening/dings that will hold it to roughly a PSA 6-7. Flags: whitening/ding at top corners on the back; faint whitening on back top edge

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

A Chinese-language Giratina V alt art (150/131, 2024) that does not match the English 186/196 Lost Origin card in the listing title — back looks clean but the low-res front hides corner and edge detail. Flags: Chinese-language card (Simplified Chinese text); set/number mismatch: card reads 150/131 ©2024 (Chinese release), NOT the '186/196 Lost Origin' English alt art in the title; low-resolution front photo limits corner/edge assessment

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
