Real / Fake Charizard Check?




Hey folks, new here. Haven’t touched a Pokemon card for probably 25 years. Came across a First Edition Shadowless Charizard and just want to see if I could get the communities help on figuring out if this is legit or not and a potential grade for it.

I tried doing some research. From what I could tell, everything looks about right to me. But I just want to get extra eyes on it.

Thanks!!

From the images, nothing jumps out at me suggesting it’s not real

I agree with pfm. The card looks authentic to me. Regarding a grade, it’s hard to know without looking at the surface. If there is a dent, it will auto 6 at PSA. If the holo surface is riddled with print lines and scratches, it will knock it down a few points. Expect PSA 5-6 and hope for PSA 7-8.

If you live in the U.S. and the seller can go through eBay, you’ll get the card authenticated by CGC through eBay’s Authenticity Guarantee. You might have to pay a little more to incentivize the seller if they’re banking on low third party transaction fees, but the piece of mind may be worth it if it’s available to you.

Nothing obvious stands out to me about this, it looks legit

Nice zard bro

Looks good to me! Nice!
