Question Desk · How much is a Base Set Charizard worth

A Base Set Charizard sells for about $400 raw and $3,500 in a PSA 9

An Unlimited Base Set Charizard 4/102 sold for a $399.99 median across its 29 most recent raw sales, Sep 29–Oct 6, 2026 (PriceCharting sold comps). In a PSA 9 slab it sold for $3,500.00 (7 sales, Sep 8–29).

That is the common print, Unlimited, with a drop shadow on the right edge of the picture frame and no stamp. The grade sets the price from there: $530.00 in PSA 6, $800.00 in PSA 7, $1,380.00 in PSA 8 (sold medians with counts and dates in the table below). A Shadowless copy sold for $1,009.00 raw and a 1st Edition copy for $10,253.00 raw, so check the card before you price it.

The Grade Ladder

Unlimited Base Set Charizard, raw to PSA 10

Each figure is the median of the completed eBay sales PriceCharting lists for that grade, with the count and the dates. A graded row counts only sales whose own listing title names that PSA grade; CGC, BGS and SGC slabs are left out. Fewer than 3 sales in 30 days falls back to 90 days, and the row says so.

The Rarer Prints

Shadowless and 1st Edition Charizard by grade

Shadowless has no stamp and no shadow on the frame. 1st Edition adds a small black "Edition 1" stamp below the lower left of the picture. Both trade far less often, so most windows here run 90 days and some grades have no recent sale at all. Our 1st Edition vs Shadowless vs Unlimited page compares the three prints set-wide.

The Index

Where Charizard sits in the Base Set index

Charizard is one of the 101 cards our Base Set index (BS99) prices, and the heaviest. At the Oct 6, 2026 mark its $468.00 ninety-day raw median would be 47.3% of the basket on its own, so the index holds it at its 25% single-card cap. BS99 stood at 110.43 on Oct 6 (100 = Jan 2021, the first month PriceCharting's sold history reliably covers; the set released Jan 1999). Its monthly reconstruction rose from 87.30 in Aug 2025 to 113.72 in Aug 2026. The Shadowless index (BSSL) was 129.40 and the 1st Edition index (BS1E) 184.11 at the Oct 1 mark, on the same Jan 2021 base. Open the Base Set index →

What This Means

Reading the Charizard tape

The grade does most of the work. Raw, PSA 5 and PSA 6 Unlimited copies sit close together: $399.99 raw, $479.99 in PSA 5 (11 sales, Sep 8–30) and $530.00 in PSA 6 (6 sales, Sep 12–29). The steps get big above that: $1,380.00 in PSA 8 (18 sales, Sep 7–Oct 4) and $3,500.00 in PSA 9 (7 sales, Sep 8–29), all 2026. A raw copy is a bet on what it would grade, and most twenty-five-year-old cards show whitening and soft corners.

PSA 10 has no reliable price right now. Three Unlimited PSA 10 sales in 90 days landed at $31,000.00, $8,000.00, $10,300.00. The six before them, Dec 22, 2025 to May 4, 2026, ran $18,055.00 to $37,100.00. Any single figure would hide that spread.

The print matters as much as the grade. A raw Shadowless copy sold for $1,009.00 (4 sales, Sep 7–17) and a raw 1st Edition for $10,253.00 (4 sales, Jul 18–Aug 31, 90-day window). The 1st Edition reads are thin, so treat them as a range.

What we do not know. The raw window holds the 30 most recent prints, which for Charizard is about a week. A best-offer sale shows its list price, not the accepted offer. We give no population counts because we did not read one from a source we can cite.
