Charizard

For collectors drawn to the artistic legacy and historical footprint of Pokémon cards, the Dragon set offers a particularly captivating piece: the Rare Salamence. Released during an era that broadened the Pokémon TCG world, this card hails from a period rich with evolving design and strategic depth. Its place in the set, at position 100, gives it a distinct identity, marking it as a significant inclusion within the Dragon expansion.

The artwork of this Salamence is a true highlight, crafted by the esteemed Mitsuhiro Arita. Arita-san's contributions to the Pokémon TCG are legendary, and his rendition of Salamence here is a testament to his enduring talent. He masterfully captures the formidable yet majestic essence of the Dragon-type Pokémon, bringing it to life with details that invite a closer look. Collectors often appreciate how his art not only depicts the Pokémon but also evokes a sense of its environment and power, making each card a miniature masterpiece.

As a rare card from the Dragon set, this Salamence stands out not just for its scarcity but for its aesthetic appeal and the era it represents. It’s a card that encapsulates the spirit of its time, reflecting the design choices and artistic direction prevalent during that period of the Pokémon TCG's history. For those who cherish the artistry and the journey of collecting, this Salamence is a wonderful example of how illustrator and Pokémon come together to create something truly memorable within the vast tapestry of Pokémon cards. It’s a piece that speaks to the heart of the hobby, connecting collectors to the roots of their passion through exceptional artwork and a tangible link to the past.

Questions about Charizard

How much is Charizard worth?

The cheapest single listing we can see for Charizard right now is €65 (≈$73.89) at Cardmarket. That is one seller's asking price for one copy, in that shop's own currency — not an average, not an appraisal, and not a completed sale. Two listings of the same card can differ by a lot depending on condition and who is selling.

Would I get €65 (≈$73.89) if I sold it?

No — that is what a buyer pays, not what a seller receives. Marketplaces take a commission, payment processing takes a cut, and shipping and tracked postage come out of your side. Sell into the same market and you should expect meaningfully less than the asking price above. We show the buy-side number because that is the one you can verify by clicking through.

Does condition change what it is worth?

Substantially, and it is the single biggest reason two prices for Charizard disagree. Graded and Near Mint copies sit at the top; Excellent and Lightly Played land below that; Good, Played and Poor copies fall away sharply, and heavy edge wear, creases or surface scratches can take a card to a fraction of the figure above. The listing we quote is whatever condition that seller stated, so read the listing before you compare it to anything.

What about a graded copy?

A professionally graded Charizard — PSA, BGS or CGC — is a different item from a raw one and trades in its own market, usually well above the raw price, with a high grade worth a multiple of a low one. We do not quote graded prices on this page: we track shop listings for raw singles, and presenting a raw listing as if it were a graded comp is how price tools mislead people. Check a grader's own population report and completed graded sales for that market.

Has the price moved?

Across the 45 price points we have recorded, the market price for Charizard has ranged from ≈$267.12 to ≈$453.73 — a spread of about 70% — and currently sits at ≈$453.73. The chart above shows the shape of that. Short windows on trading cards are noisy: a single set reprint, a tournament result or a restock can move a card more than a whole quiet quarter.

Where can I buy it?

The button under the price opens Cardmarket's own page for this card — a product page where Cardmarket gives us one, otherwise a search for the card's name. It is not a link to the individual listing that produced the price: neither marketplace exposes a stable URL for one seller's copy. Check both of the shops we track before you commit — the same card routinely differs between the US and European markets, and shipping and import charges can outweigh a small difference in the sticker price.

How current is this?

Prices refresh daily and every figure on this page carries the date it was written, next to the price. If that stamp is old, treat the number as a starting point rather than today's market. Nothing here is an appraisal or investment advice — it is what shops were asking, on the date shown.
