# M Charizard EX #12/83 — Generations

## Summary

Charizard carries the strongest fan loyalty in the franchise, and Mega Charizard EX cards pull that nostalgia toward the XY era's most recognizable form. As an Ultra Rare in a small celebration set, it sat among the headline pulls, and 5ban Graphics is a reliable name for EX collectors. The modelled guide sits at $159, up 3% over 30 days on 82 copies traded, with 140 days of inventory on the board; the slab is the real edge, with PSA 10s at $3,200 and a 8% observed gem rate putting about $170 of expected profit per submission.
