Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Lightly Played (LP)
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $3,000 - $5,000. Graded (PSA 7/8): $7,000 - $12,000.
Recent Sales
Recent sales of 1st Edition Charizard cards in Lightly Played condition range between $3,500 and $4,500 raw, depending on exact surface preservation and centering.
Condition Details
Slight border whitening on the back and minor corner wear visible under close inspection. The front surface has a few fine light scratches on the holographic foil window, and centering is slightly heavy on the left border.
Grading Recommendation
Highly recommended to grade with PSA or BGS due to the extremely high value of 1st Edition Base Set Charizard. Estimated grade is 7 or 8, which still provides a substantial value multiplier over raw condition.
