That price obviously came from the Evolutions Staff Charizard. I’m sure the sellers valued this card according to how much the first Staff Zard is valued at now. Simply type Staff Charizard on eBay and you notice a median.
I myself value this card at half what the first one costs. Simply because it’s not the first Staff Charizard.
There’s a decently low quantity of these, they’re playable, great artwork, it’s charizard AND there’s a stamp. It’s the first “new” artwork for a staff promo for charizard as well.
By the looks of the ones opened and listed I’d say that PSA 10s are going to be few and far between. But obviously people with multiple are going to keep and grade the better ones and sell the lesser especially since people are dishing out $400+ for what would be lucky to be PSA 8s. If centering is off or anything on front I’m keeping mine sealed for sure
It will probably be similar in price to the other Staff promos from previous sets.
Because everyone is hyper-aware of the Staff Zard the other promos will probably show up on ebay and other marketplaces more frequently than past promos.
It will probably end up a $15-20 card like the rest.
The card looks great, but I can’t see it ending anywhere near the Evolutions staff Charizard.
The modern market has so many eyes on it and so many buyers involved now. Unless the release is truly allocated and the card is genuinely rare, it will start high and drop/stagnate over time.
Here’s a question for those who have graded staff cards… have you noticed them taking into account the condition/look of the stamp? Say everything is perfect with the card but the stamp has a piece of the letter missing… would they dock the card for that? Thanks
I apologize if I am going to sound like a bit of a jerk here for a sec, but where did you win a league cup with Generations Charizard? A win with a deck like that would absolutely be posted on heyfonte/pokestats if it won a masters cup somewhere. I could maybe see it winning a seniors/junior cup somewhere with 1 to 8 player attendances, which in that case congrats with that performance, but respectfully that didn’t make it even a fringe deck
Playable imo is a big stretch for the Generations Charizard, that never saw any competitive play anywhere AFAIK.
This Zard has some competitive potential, but I am not sure atm that it will be able to be a meta deck, but still its definitely seen more potential/hype than any Zard as a potential archetype I can think of since I have been playing. There have been a couple Charizards that have seen fringe/tech play in the past, including Charizard EX and Charizard GX, but too fringe to make a difference on price. Its had very minor fringe results in Japan atm, but it just loses hard vs. a variety of decks including any one prize based deck.
After watching smpratte video, I realized I didn’t really buy this card for the artwork lol… I just got excited because it was a staff Charizard and I missed out on the evolutions staff Charizard. It was still fun to make a 4 hour journey to get a couple Pokémon cards though, definitely my longest Pokémon adventure yet!
I’m glad I have them, but I also hope I don’t get burned on these… modern Pokémon is foreign territory to me lol.
