Charizard UPCS

UPC stands for Ungraded Pokémon Card — meaning the card has not been professionally authenticated or slabbed by companies like PSA, BGS, or CGC. These are “raw” cards, still in their natural state, often pulled straight from packs, boxes, or private collections.

While graded cards command premium prices for their certified condition, UPCs offer something even more thrilling: authenticity, nostalgia, and the chance to discover a hidden gem before it’s sealed in plastic.

Charizard UPCs are especially coveted because:

• They’re the most iconic Pokémon of all time
• Original Base Set Charizards are among the most valuable cards in TCG history
• Many collectors prefer to keep them ungraded to preserve their “lived-in” charm
• They’re often more affordable than their graded counterparts — making them perfect for new collectors

🏆 Iconic Charizard UPC Variants We Offer

1. Base Set 1999 (Holographic) – The Original Legend

• First Edition or Shadowless print
• Holographic foil Charizard with fiery orange wings and glowing eyes
• The card that started it all — the one that broke eBay in 2003 and still holds the record for highest-selling Pokémon card
• Look for: “First Edition” logo on the left, clean corners, minimal surface wear
• Pro Tip: Even a raw 9/10 condition Base Set Charizard can be worth $500–$2,500+ depending on centering and gloss

2. Neo Genesis (2000) – The First Modern Holo

• Holographic Charizard from the Neo Genesis set
• Sleeker design, less “gritty” than Base Set, but still a collector favorite

“I bought my first Charizard UPC from Pokémon Card Gems — a Base Set with perfect centering. I didn’t know it was a 9.5 until I sent it to PSA. It graded 9.5. I still have the card in my collection — and the slab on my wall.”
— James T., Collector Since 2001
