Made from 11g of 24k gold, one of these cards sold in June 2020 for over $12,000

TCGplayer Tip:This Charizard card from XY-Evolutions is an homage to Base Set Charizard, with better stats to match the state of the Pokmon TCG in 2016. While it has the same iconic artwork, the XY Evolutions Charizard has 30 more HP and its Fire Spin attack does twice as much damage

If you compare this illustration with the Suicune in this same set, for instance, the difference is jarring

This card was $100 up until a few months ago, and its still sold out at $120 here on StarCityGames.com

From rare Special Art and ex cards to fan-favorite characters like Iono and Chi-Yu, these cards provide both aesthetic appeal and long-term investment potential
