07Why Collectors Want It
- A secret-rare slot from 2008's DP Stormfront, the late-DP-era set that popularized the beyond-the-set numbering for chase rares.
- Raw ~$46 vs. PSA 10 ~$527 — a clean ~11× lift, with DP-era foil texture and edge wear the usual downgrades.
- Sits adjacent to the Stormfront Charizard #100 secret rare in the same chase sequence — a natural pairing for line collectors.
- A solid mid-tier checkpoint for any DP-era Charizard-line run.

10Grading and Population
PSA 10 estimate: Modern ultra/secret rare; PSA 10 populations are moderate and grading is common for higher-value pulls.
Holo scratching and centering are the usual downgrade culprits; graded gem-mint copies trade above raw.
Other graders: CGC and BGS both grade modern ultra-rares; PSA leads on resale liquidity.
