Pokémon Card Deal Report

Genuine Base Set Unlimited Charizard 4/102 with clean-looking corners front and back, but off-center back and the seller's own LP call plus likely holo scratching put it in the PSA 5-7 range. Flags: seller states LP (light played); Unlimited (non-shadowless) print; off-center back (thin top border); assume typical Base Set holo scratching

A visually striking Glaceon VMAX alt art that is heavily creased across the front with edge/corner wear on the back — a clear PSA 1 (Poor) damaged card, valuable only as a filler/played copy. Flags: multiple heavy creases across front surface; crease/wrinkle lines penetrate the card; back edge whitening and corner fraying; listing title explicitly states 'Damage'

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 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 dark, blurry photo — condition unverifiable, buy with caution. Flags: single dark blurry front-only photo; no back shown; condition cannot be verified

A sharp Lugia V alt art marred by a crease/scratch line near the top-right, likely capping it around PSA 6-8. Flags: crease/scratch line across top-right of front (visible in close-up)

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 genuine 1999 Base Set Charizard with clear edge whitening and holo scratching, likely PSA 3-5. Flags: edge whitening on all sides; surface scratches across holo; genuine 1999 Wizards Base Set Unlimited; photos 3-4 are seller store promo/condition guide, not the 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 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 English Base Set 2 Charizard holo with decent centering front and back, but seller's LP label and the absence of macro shots point to a mid-grade 5-7 with likely holo and edge wear. Flags: seller-described LP (lightly played); no close-up corner or edge photos; Base Set 2 print (4/130), not original Base Set; possible holo scratches/print lines not verifiable at this resolution

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)

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 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 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 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 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

Genuine Base Set Unlimited Charizard, but the holo shows heavy scratching and the back isn't pictured — a played-condition mid-grade card, not a gem. Flags: heavy holo foil scratches/scuffing; whitening top-left corner; back never shown; Unlimited print (©1999 Wizards)

Clean, well-centered English Lugia V alt art with sharp top corners and no visible edge wear — a strong 8 candidate, capped only because bottom corners weren't photographed. Flags: only top two corners shown in close-up (bottom corners/edges not verified)

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

An authentic-looking Unlimited Charizard, but the photos are too blurry and glare-hazed to judge condition, so buy assuming meaningful undisclosed wear. Flags: very blurry, low-resolution photos; heavy glare and cloudy sleeve obscuring the card; corners, edges, and surface all unverifiable

A clean-looking English Fusion Strike Gengar VMAX alt art with front and back shown but only at whole-card distance, so a strong 8 is plausible while any hidden edge/corner wear could pull it lower. Flags: no macro/close-up shots of any corner or edge; slightly top-heavy front centering; back centering slightly left-shifted; photographed on textured leather that can mask fine surface/edge wear

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

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

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

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, genuine Unlimited Charizard that presents well on both front and back, likely PSA 6-8 pending close corner and edge inspection. Flags: no close-up corner or edge shots — edge/corner wear cannot be ruled out; genuine English Base Set Unlimited

The reverse shows a second Charizard face instead of the normal Pokemon back — a strong counterfeit/double-fronted red flag — and the holo is heavily scratched, so treat this as a likely fake rather than a gradable card. Flags: the 'back' photo shows a mirrored Charizard FRONT image, not the standard blue Pokeball back — strong counterfeit / double-fronted signal; genuine Pokemon back never shown/verified; heavy scratching across holo surface; likely fake — not gradable if counterfeit

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

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 fresh-looking English Rayquaza VMAX alt-art with sharp-appearing corners and clean surface, but with no back shown and the card still sleeved, it's a cautious 7-8 pending a full look at the reverse and edges. Flags: back never shown; card photographed inside a penny sleeve, limiting edge/corner verification

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

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

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
