Analysis
Charizard sits in Plasma Storm. On the era basket vs S&P 500 picture, this period has returned +8,140 pp alpha across 10 tracked sealed products, with a basket CAGR of 35.7% against SPXTR's 13.6%.
Current TCGplayer market sits at $1,075. I don't have granular pop or per-grade comps for this card yet, so the grading thesis stays conservative until commercial pop data lands.
Honestly, the call here gets clearer once we have grader-level pop data. Right now the comp tells you what someone paid, not what a graded copy should fetch. Adjacent exposure: Ultra Ball, Black Kyurem-EX. Both fall in the same era and rarity neighborhood.
