# Charizard #1/15 — McDonald's Collection 2024

## Summary

Charizard is the most chased Pokémon of the hobby, and even a Happy Meal promo from the McDonald's Collection carries that pull, especially for collectors who treat every Charizard printing as a binder obligation. Its Leon-scaling Royal Blaze nods to Galar's champion, which adds a little lore. The modelled guide sits at $2.80, up 12% over 30 days on 419 copies traded, with only 14 days of inventory on the board; the slab is the real edge, with CGC 10s at $162 and a 47% observed gem rate putting about $17 of expected profit per submission, and the slabbed population is growing 4% a month, faster than 91% of tracked cards.
