Charizard V (Japanese): Rarity & Collectibility
Charizard V (Japanese) in its sought-after Holofoil variant sits at the most plentiful end of the rarity scale — easy to pull and easy to find. Cataloged as Common #001/021 of the sC: Charizard Starter Set VMAX set, it is the kind of card RarePokemonCard tracks for scarcity and collector demand rather than raw price alone. The harder a card is to pull in top condition, the more weight serious collectors place on it.
How Rare & Valuable Is Charizard V (Japanese)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Charizard V (Japanese) (Common, sC: Charizard Starter Set VMAX #001/021) changes hands at roughly $4.84, and availability keeps it within easy reach for collectors. Because demand concentrates on clean copies, surface wear is punished hard: a Near Mint example commands about $4.84, whereas a Moderately Played one slides to around $4.00. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $4.84, Lightly Played $4.70, Moderately Played $4.00 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Charizard V (Japanese) is valued near $60.00 — about 12x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Charizard V (Japanese): Gem Mint & Population
Even for a card at this rarity, the top of the market belongs to certified gem-mint copies. A PSA 10 (or CGC 10 / BGS Black Label equivalent) Charizard V (Japanese) sits around $60.00 — roughly 12x a raw copy. That gap exists because relatively few examples ever earn a perfect grade, so gem-mint population is the real scarcity collectors chase. Step down a notch and demand spreads across PSA 9 $11.88, CGC 10 $28.00, CGC 9.5 $21.30 — each tier a smaller, scarcer pool than the one below it. The rule of thumb for collectors: the rarer the card, the more a certified high grade matters to its standing.
