This 1999 Pokémon Base Set 1st Edition Holo Charizard #4 features the distinct 'Thick Stamp' variation of the 1st Edition symbol. Graded BGS 8.5 (Near Mint-Mint+), the card features subgrades of 9.5 for Centering, 9 for Corners, 8.5 for Edges, and 7.5 for Surface. With a BGS population of 95 at this grade, this card represents a highly limited tier of preservation for a notoriously condition-sensitive vintage holographic release. As a high-value collectible, it stands as an investment-grade TCG asset and a cornerstone piece for a serious collection.\nReleased by Wizards of the Coast in 1999, the Base Set represents the genesis of the English Pokémon Trading Card Game. Illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita, the 1st Edition holographic Charizard is the premier chase card of the entire hobby. The 'Thick Stamp' variant is distinguished by a bolder, wider '1' within the 1st Edition symbol, indicating its placement in the earliest production runs of the landmark set and highlighting its scarcity relative to the standard thin-stamp and subsequent unlimited printings.Show more
