# Charizard #6/165 — Expedition Base Set

## Summary

Expedition's Charizard is the e-Card era's answer to a Pokémon whose pull never fades, and as the set's headline holo it carried the chase. Burning Energy gave Fire decks real utility, though the Energy-discarding attack kept it more collectible than dominant, and Sugiyama's name adds quiet credibility. The modelled guide sits at $875, up 25% over 30 days on 9 copies traded, with 152 days of inventory on the board; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it, with original packs long past any pull-rate math.
