Condition & Value Assessment
Condition Grade
Near Mint (NM 7) to Near Mint-Mint (NM-MT 8)
Estimated Market Value
Raw: $45-$55; PSA 10: $120-$150
Recent Sales
Recent eBay sales for raw copies range from $42 to $58. PSA 10 graded copies have recently fluctuated between $130 and $160.
Condition Details
The card appears to have slightly top-heavy centering. Visible surface wear and minor 'fogging' are present, though this may be due to the protective sleeve/binder page rather than the card itself. Minor whitening on edges is typical for this set's thicker silver borders.
Grading Recommendation
Worth grading only if the surface is flawless once removed from the sleeve. A PSA 10 grade significantly increases value, but an 8 or 9 will barely cover grading fees and original card value.
Card Description
Darkness-type Charizard ex with a Tera Jewel crown. Features the 'Infernal Reign' Ability and 'Burning Darkness' attack. The artwork is a full-card illustration showing Charizard in a crystalline form with high-contrast fiery colors and a geometric background.
Notable Features
Special Illustration Rare; Tera (Type-Shifted) form which makes this Charizard a Darkness type instead of Fire; Secret Rare numbering (223/197).
Authentication Notes
Consistent with genuine Obsidian Flames SIR prints; features the correct fine-line fingerprint-style texture and holofoil pattern. Font and HP alignment match official standards.
