07Why Collectors Want It
- The Charizard ex headline card from EX FireRed & LeafGreen, the 2004 Kanto-themed nostalgia set that brought Brock's/Misty's/Erika's cards back into the EX era.
- Raw ~$479 vs. PSA 10 ~$15,159 — a ~31× grading multiple, putting it in grail territory for EX-era Charizards.
- The EX foil and centering combine to make PSA 10 copies legitimately scarce — out-of-pack copies almost always have at least one downgrading defect.
- A cornerstone pickup for any EX-era Charizard collection and a centerpiece of the FRLG product line.
