This 1999 Pokémon Base Set Holo Charizard #4 is graded Mint+ 9.5 by CGC. Featuring the artwork of Mitsuhiro Arita, this card is the definitive release from the inaugural English Pokémon TCG set. Only 143 copies have attained this Mint+ 9.5 grade from CGC, representing a highly select tier of preservation. The card displays excellent centering, vibrant red and orange border tones, and a clear holographic foil field that remains free from the print lines and surface scratching common to late-1990s holofoil printings.
The 1999 Base Set serves as the foundational release of the Pokémon franchise's tabletop history, and the holographic Charizard remains its most famous subject. Mechanically defined by its "Energy Burn" Pokémon Power and 100-damage "Fire Spin" attack, the card captured the attention of early players and collectors alike. Decades after its debut, this card remains a foundational piece of Western trading card history and a touchstone of the late-1990s schoolyard hobby era.Show more
