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 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 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

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 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 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

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, 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 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 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 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

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 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 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

This is a fake gold-metal novelty card, not a genuine Gengar VMAX 271/264 alt art — it has no grading or collector value and PSA would reject it. Flags: COUNTERFEIT / novelty gold-metal card — not an authentic TPC print; real Gengar VMAX 271/264 is a normal-stock alt art, not gold foil; PSA will not grade this; it is not a gradeable card; no back shown

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 crisp English Rayquaza VMAX alt art with sharp corners and clean front holo in high-res photos, but no back shown so a true gem-mint call can't be made. Flags: back never shown — cannot assess reverse centering, corners or edge wear

An English Evolving Skies Rayquaza VMAX alt art with clean, sharp top corners in the close-ups and no obvious surface flaws, held to a max of 8 by slightly off back centering and the lack of front/bottom-corner macro shots. Flags: dark-bordered back makes any whitening easy to spot — top corners are clean; slight back centering shift to the right; possible faint nick on right edge in full back photo; no macro shots of bottom corners or of the front

A Charizard V alt art (Brilliant Stars) that photographs clean but is sealed in a sleeve and seller-graded Lightly Played, so assume some hidden wear — realistically a PSA 6-8. Flags: card is inside a sleeve/toploader — condition partly obscured by glare; listed as Lightly Played so expect surface/edge wear not visible in photos; no back shown

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

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

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
