07Why Collectors Want It
- A Gold Star (★) and a Delta Species (δ) Charizard — re-typed away from Fire, carrying the EX era's rarest ~one-per-box pull rate.
- Secret-numbered #100/101 in Dragon Frontiers (2006), the set built entirely around δ Pokémon.
- Charizard demand plus Gold Star scarcity makes this a perennial top-five modern-vintage chase card.
- Verified at ~$3,066 raw, PSA 10 ~$58,723 (PriceCharting, May 2026) — about a 19x gem-mint multiple.
- Gold foil and tight centering mean genuinely clean copies are hard to find at any price.

10Grading and Population
PSA 10 estimate: PSA 10 ~$58,723 against ~$3,066 raw — roughly 19x for a flawless copy (PriceCharting realized, May 2026).
The gold-star foil picks up print lines and scratches; centering and edge-whitening are the usual PSA 10 blockers, keeping the high-grade pop low.
Other graders: PSA 10 is the benchmark; BGS 9.5 and CGC 10 examples trade beneath an equivalent PSA 10.
