Analysis
Charizard (Shadowless Holographic) sits in Base1 Shadowless. Raw spot is $1,200 per the most recent PriceCharting loose comp, last refreshed May 7, 2026.
I'm scoring this a 45/100 — CONSIDER. The math: $1,479 expected value at BGS Standard tier, less raw cost $1,200, less $50 grading fee, less $10 return shipping, less $196 eBay fee = +$23 net per copy. ROI works out to 2% on the raw cost basis.
BGS Standard tier turnaround runs about 20 days. Annualized for capital velocity, that's roughly +34% APR — useful framing if you're thinking about this as a capital allocation, not a one-shot trade.
Pop is growing modestly — +20% Grade 10s in the last 30 days. Not a saturation alarm, but worth tracking. Honestly, the call gets clearer with another month of pop data.
Sourcing raw: high-end card. Don't buy without seeing high-resolution scans of every edge and the surface. Comp $1,200 is your ceiling — bid below it to leave room for grading risk. Auction houses (PWCC, Goldin) sell raw copies of cards in this range with provenance.
Risk to size: grading is one-way. Grading fees aren't refundable, the round-trip eats 20 days of capital, and the comp data lags real-time market shifts. Numbers above pull from PSA POP Report, recent eBay sold listings, and PriceCharting comps as of 2026-05-04.
