Charizard ex (Japanese): Rarity & Collectibility
Charizard ex (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 #009/049 of the SV: Venusaur, Charizard & Blastoise Special Deck Set 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 ex (Japanese)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Charizard ex (Japanese) (Common, SV: Venusaur, Charizard & Blastoise Special Deck Set #009/049) changes hands at roughly $3.87, 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 $3.87, whereas a Lightly Played one slides to around $2.75. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Charizard ex (Japanese) is valued near $55.00 — about 14x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Charizard ex (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 ex (Japanese) sits around $55.00 — roughly 14x 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 $20.00, CGC 10 $27.50, BGS 9.5 $25.00 — 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.
