Blaine's Charizard — collector's take
Is Blaine's Charizard worth grading?
Here's where it gets interesting. A raw copy runs $154, a Grade 9 jumps to $595, and a true PSA 10 sits at $3,695, which works out to 24.0x the raw price. That's a big gap, and it's exactly why so many collectors send these in. But gem mint isn't a guarantee. Centering, edge wear, and surface scratches on Gym-era Japanese cards can be unforgiving, and grading fees plus shipping and wait times eat into your upside if you land a 9 instead of a 10. If you already own a clean-looking copy and have the patience to wait it out, grading can pay off in a real way. If your copy has visible flaws, you're often better off enjoying it raw or selling as-is rather than gambling on a slab.
How rare is it?
Challenge from the Darkness was a Japanese-only release, and Gym Leader cards like Blaine's Charizard were never printed at the volume of English-language chase cards, which is part of why raw copies already command $154. We don't have exact population counts to lean on here, but the pricing gap between raw, Grade 9, and PSA 10 tells its own story: a 24.0x jump from ungraded to gem mint usually means true 10s are genuinely hard to come by. Scarcity like that is what keeps long-term demand steady, even for collectors who never plan to grade their copy.
Where to pull it
This is where PackSpy's data actually earns its keep, because we track real pulls across pack-opening sites instead of guessing. We've recorded Blaine's Charizard pulled 22 times, all across collector-crypt, with the biggest recorded pull hitting $4,000. It's shown up in the Mythic Pokémon Gacha Pack, the Grail Pokémon Gacha Pack, the Legendary Pokémon Gacha Pack, and the Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack, so if you're chasing this one specifically, those are the pack types where it's actually surfaced. Worth saying plainly though: pack opening is a gamble, and most rips don't come close to covering what you spent. If you want this card guaranteed, buying it outright on the secondary market is the safer route. If you want the thrill of the pull, at least now you know where it's actually been found.
Questions people ask
How much is Blaine's Charizard worth?
A raw, ungraded copy is valued at $154 right now. Grade it and a solid 9 brings $595, while a PSA 10 gem mint copy is worth $3,695. That gap is a big part of why so many collectors weigh grading seriously.
Is Blaine's Charizard worth grading?
It can be. A PSA 10 sells for 24.0x what the raw card is worth, which is a serious jump. But gem mint copies are tough to hit, and grading costs money and time regardless of what grade comes back, so it really depends on how clean your copy looks before you send it in.
What set is Blaine's Charizard from?
It's card #6 from Challenge from the Darkness, a Japanese Gym-era set. That Japanese-only release is a big part of why the card holds steady demand among collectors chasing Gym Leader Charizard cards specifically.
