Base Set Set Notes

Base Set was printed across three distinct runs — 1st Edition, Shadowless, and Unlimited — with 1st Edition commanding a steep premium over Unlimited for the same card. It's also the single most counterfeited Pokémon set in existence, so for anything valuable, a professional grading opinion (rather than a raw self-assessment) is the standard move before a sale.

Authentication notes

Every Pokémon card is checked against known-genuine references: card stock and light-blocking layer, holo foil texture and pattern for that specific era, font and color accuracy on HP/energy symbols, and card-back print quality. First edition WOTC holos and modern alt-art chase cards get extra magnifier-level scrutiny before pricing.

No guesswork

How we get to your offer

We pull the live market comp for Charizard on Pokémon, then apply the same locked rates we use on every trade-in: 85% of comp in cash, or 100% in store credit. No lowball guesswork, no per-item haggling. The comp is the only input, and the math is the same for a common card and a grail.
