The 2000 Pokémon Gym Challenge 1st Edition Holo Blaine's Charizard #2 is graded PSA 8 Near Mint-Mint. Released by Wizards of the Coast as part of the Gym Challenge expansion, this card represents the seventh main expansion of the English Pokémon TCG. This copy features the distinctive 1st Edition stamp, indicating its origin from the set's initial print run. Illustrated by Ken Sugimori, the holofoil artwork depicts the Fire-type starter in its classic character design. PSA has awarded this card a Near Mint-Mint 8 grade, with a population of 829 examples currently evaluated at this tier.
Gym Challenge, launched in October 2000, expanded on the Gym Leader concept by allowing players to utilize specialized decks themed around the Kanto region's leaders. Blaine's Charizard stands as one of the primary chase cards of the entire Wizards of the Coast era, representing the final evolution of the Fire-type starter under Cinnabar Island's Gym Leader. Due to their limited production window compared to Unlimited print runs, 1st Edition holofoil cards from this set remain central pieces of early English TCG history.Show more
