What we track for this card
Not enough history yet for a 90-day range
This is every product listing our pricing data actually maps to this card — we don't split it further into 1st Edition, Shadowless, or Unlimited, since no such listings exist in our data today. If those print distinctions matter to you, treat the figures above as a raw-market baseline and expect a real premium for a verified early print.
How this price has been moving
Over the trailing 90 days, this card's price has climbed roughly 36.1%. Treat any short window like this as a snapshot, not a forecast — a single high-profile sale or a thin batch of listings can swing a 90-day read for a card this widely watched, and vintage cards in general trade less often than modern ones, so each individual sale carries more weight in the average.

Confirming you actually have this card
Before you chase a price, make sure the card in hand is really the one this page prices. Check the collector number in the bottom corner — this printing reads 4/102, the total card count for Base Base Set (1999). The set has no printed set symbol (later sets added one; the original Base Set predates that convention), so a copy with a small icon next to the number is a different, later printing of Charizard, not this one. It should also carry the artwork’s drop shadow along the right edge of the illustration box — copies missing it are the early Shadowless print (still this same card, just a different, separately-valued print run).
Frequently asked questions
Why do Base Set Charizard prices vary so much between listings?
Two raw copies of the same card can sell for wildly different amounts once you factor in condition — a corner ding, a whitened edge, or a light crease each pulls the price down, and buyers judge that by eye before a sale closes. The price on this page is a market average across recent sales, not a quote for any one specific copy; a genuinely clean copy generally sells above it, a rougher one below.
Does this page track 1st Edition or Shadowless copies separately?
Not yet, and we'd rather say so than fake a split. Our pricing pipeline maps this card to the product listings TCGplayer tracks for it, and today that's the standard Charizard listing plus a rarer print-error variant — no separate 1st Edition, Shadowless, or Unlimited product exists in that mapping. If you know which print you're holding, expect 1st Edition and Shadowless copies to carry a real premium over the figures shown here; see our vintage card values page for more on what separates those prints.
Is this the same card as the newer Charizard cards in booster packs today?
No — this is specifically the original 1999 Base Set printing, card #4 of 102, holo rare. Charizard has reappeared in dozens of sets since (ex, VMAX, and other modern treatments), and those cards have their own market with generally lower prices, since they were printed in far larger numbers and much more recently.
