About this deal

We’d opt for the Gold Metal Charizard as the best investment piece, depending on whether the likes of PSA come up with a method to grade the card safely. To me* it looks like the fonts on the old Celebrations cards is a bit different than the originals, like the “Pokemon Power: Energy Burn” text on Charizard. Perhaps new versions of Photoshop render the fonts differently? Supply exceeds demand for now, but there’s no way that’ll last in the long term. Prices for boxes are slowly beginning to creep up as they continue to be opened by Pokémon fans and collectors. Unlike EX Pokemon, which were usually Basics regardless of if they're evolved or not, M Pokemon still needed to be evolved onto an existing EX Pokemon – to play M Rayquaza EX, you needed an Rayquaza EX in play to evolve from.

Diving at supersonic speeds, Dragapult swoops into your collection as an impressive Pokémon Prime! Pokémon Prime were a type of cards originally introduced in the HeartGold & SoulSilver Series, offering a touch of nostalgia to the collection. This powerful collection includes two Pokémon TCG: Celebrations boosters, as well as Dragapult Prime and its ghostly stealth giving you the power to strike at just the right moment. Dig deep and you'll find additional surprises including a binder and more! I dunno, maybe this logic is too basic, but the way I see it, the Celebrations Charizard is a somewhat safe investment, no? As time goes on, getting a base set Charizard is going to become harder and harder to achieve. For some, it's just going to be out of reach. But obviously people are always going to want it and want that design - it's nostalgic, it's classic, it's iconic. There's no denying it, M EX cards are cool. They were added as an expansion to the EX mechanic in X & Y to reflect the games' Mega Evolution theme. They showcased Mega-evolved Pokemon like Swampert, Lucario, or, of course, Rayquaza. Celebrate Pokémon with the world-famous Pikachu, taking to the waves and the skies on a special pin to commemorate 25 years of good times and great adventures!

A quarter of a century ago rampant Pokemon burst onto our TV's, our games consoles and for many of us our hearts (heh, cute right). This year marks the 25th Anniversary of Pokemon and it could be argued that the Trading Card Game is as strong now as it was in the heights of Pokémania in the late 90s / early 00s. In Celebration of this a special Pokemon 25th Anniversary Collection called Celebrations is due to launch on October 8th, 2021.

I see the Celebrations Charizard being a nice compromise for these people, a consolation. It's a beautiful tribute to the original while also still being its own thing. People will be able to buy one in good condition at a fraction of the price of a base set in poor condition. Still, even a fraction of that price is going to be a lot. My logic could be flawed - I'm pretty new to all of this still. One of two commemorative metal cards featuring Base Set Pikachu and Base Set Charizard, PSA have stopped grading the card due to problems with the surface when slabbing the card, if rumours are to be believed. Pokémon Celebrations is a set looking at the best that the TGC has to offer with a range of cards that will complement almost any collection. This means that there’s an added premium when looking at graded PSA versions, and it’s already a high-end item given the rarity. Celebrate the great teamwork between Charizard and its Trainer Lance or explore the darker side of Sylveon with a unique look at the Intertwining Pokémon with this pair of Pokémon TCG: Celebrations Collections, which highlights classic gameplay mechanics from Pokémon TCG days past.

Of course, by far the most valuable card in the entire of Celebrations is based on the game's most valuable card full stop. Base Set Charizard has fetched hundreds of thousands at auction, and almost single-handedly drove last year's surge in demand for the game. The Rare Rainbow Pokemon cards feature holographic foil designs and alternate art for popular Pokemon such as Charizard and Blastoise. The cards also include a special message printed on them, giving each one a unique feel. Other rare cards from Celebrations: Classic Collection include Full Art Ultra Rare cards of Pikachu, Gyarados, and Eevee, as well as a secret rare Shiny version of the same cards.

Some of the most popular Pokémon cards have been re-released as part of the ‘celebrations’, and boxes flew off the shelves during the holiday season. One such card to receive the treatment is Charizard, re-released in all of his original 1999 glory. The Pokémon TCG: Celebrations Collection—Lance's Charizard V and Pokémon TCG: Celebrations Collection—Dark Sylveon V includes: The Pokémon TCG: Celebrations Collection—Lance's Charizard V and Pokémon TCG: Celebrations Collection—Dark Sylveon V will be available on October 8, 2021, where Pokémon TCG products are sold. However, Reshiram through Tapu Lele-GX are legal in Expanded because their original prints are still legal in that format.
