Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Moderately Played (MP)
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $150 - $250, Graded (PSA 3-4): $200 - $350
Recent Sales
Base Set unlimited Charizard in Moderately Played condition typically sells between $180 and $230 depending on the exact severity of the crease.
Condition Details
Noticeable edge wear on the right border, slight whitening on corners, and a visible crease or major indentation running vertically down the right side near the border.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading due to the visible crease/damage on the right side, which will severely limit the grade to a PSA 3 or 4 maximum, yielding little to no value increase over raw selling prices after grading fees.

Notable Features
Features the iconic Base Set artwork by Mitsuhiro Arita, but notable for carrying a modern 2022 copyright line at the bottom alongside the original 1995, 96, 98 copyright, suggesting a modern unauthorized counterfeit or a novel custom proxy print rather than a genuine 1999 Base Set card.
Authentication Notes
High suspicion of being a counterfeit or proxy card. Genuine 1999 English Base Set Charizard cards do not feature a '2022 Pokemon/Nintendo/Creatures/GAME FREAK' copyright line at the bottom. The font thickness and border tone also deviate from authentic vintage print runs.
