Charizard-GX

Charizard-GX sits in Burning Shadows, part of the Sun & Moon Era era on Cardboard Assets. Raw spot is $180 per the most recent PriceCharting loose comp, last refreshed May 4, 2026.

I'm scoring this a 89/100 — STRONG PLAY. The math: $661 expected value at PSA Regular tier, less raw cost $180, less $25 grading fee, less $12 return shipping, less $88 eBay fee = +$356 net per copy. ROI works out to 198% on the raw cost basis.

PSA Regular tier turnaround runs about 65 days. Annualized for capital velocity, that's roughly +1110% APR — useful framing if you're thinking about this as a capital allocation, not a one-shot trade.

Pop velocity is muted (0.2% in 30d), which I read as a positive signal — the gem-rate denominator isn't ballooning, so existing PSA 10 comps should hold.

Sourcing raw: at $180, source on TCGplayer near-mint listings or eBay BIN. Pictures matter — request high-res scans of corners and edges before buying. Anything obviously off-center isn't a Grade 10 candidate.

Risk to size: grading is one-way. Grading fees aren't refundable, the round-trip eats 65 days of capital, and the comp data lags real-time market shifts. For comparable plays in the same era, look at Charizard-GX and Charizard-GX. Numbers above pull from PSA POP Report, recent eBay sold listings, and PriceCharting comps as of 2026-05-04.
