The collector's take on Charizard
Is Charizard worth grading?
So is it worth grading? Here's the honest math: a raw Charizard runs $2,233, a Grade 9 jumps to $15,071, and a PSA 10 sits at $121,034, which works out to 54.2x the raw price. That's a massive gap, but it only matters if you can actually land a 10. Gem mint grading is unforgiving, corner wear, print lines, and centering issues that look fine to the naked eye can knock a card down to a 9 or lower, and grading fees plus shipping and turnaround time add up whether you hit or miss. If your copy already looks clean under a light and a loupe, grading can make sense. If it's got visible wear, you're often better off selling raw and letting someone else take that gamble.
How rare is Charizard?
Right now there are 4,647 total graded copies of this card on record, and only 142 of those have earned a PSA 10. When you put those two numbers side by side, the picture is clear: getting any graded copy is already a bit of a feat, but landing a true gem mint is genuinely rare. That kind of population gap is exactly why the PSA 10 price sits so far above everything else, scarcity at the top end is real here, not just a marketing angle.
Where can you pull Charizard?
Here's where we're straight with you: PackSpy hasn't recorded a single verified pull of this Charizard across any of the pack sites we track. That doesn't mean it can't happen, but it does mean this card lives almost entirely on the secondary market these days, not in live breaks. If you're chasing one, buying a known raw or graded copy is the realistic path, and if you're opening packs hoping for a hit like this, go in knowing that most rips lose money, this one included. We track real pulls across sites specifically so collectors can see what's actually happening, not just what's theoretically possible.

It can be, since a PSA 10 is worth 54.2x the raw price. But only 142 out of 4,647 graded copies have hit that PSA 10 mark, so it's a real gamble, and grading fees and risk should factor into your decision before you send it in.
