About this deal

Some of the most popular Pokémon cards have been re-released as part of the ‘celebrations’, and boxes flew off the shelves during the holiday season.

The Pokémon TCG: Celebrations Collection—Lance's Charizard V and Pokémon TCG: Celebrations Collection—Dark Sylveon V will be available on October 8, 2021, where Pokémon TCG products are sold.One such card to receive the treatment is Charizard, re-released in all of his original 1999 glory. Update: It looks like the fonts on some of the older cards are slightly different, perhaps due to changes in software rendering over the years. It probably wasn’t on purpose and likely wasn’t noticed. A quarter of a century ago rampant Pokemon burst onto our TV's, our games consoles and for many of us our hearts (heh, cute right). This year marks the 25th Anniversary of Pokemon and it could be argued that the Trading Card Game is as strong now as it was in the heights of Pokémania in the late 90s / early 00s. In Celebration of this a special Pokemon 25th Anniversary Collection called Celebrations is due to launch on October 8th, 2021.

I see the Celebrations Charizard being a nice compromise for these people, a consolation. It's a beautiful tribute to the original while also still being its own thing. People will be able to buy one in good condition at a fraction of the price of a base set in poor condition. Still, even a fraction of that price is going to be a lot. My logic could be flawed - I'm pretty new to all of this still. Unlike EX Pokemon, which were usually Basics regardless of if they're evolved or not, M Pokemon still needed to be evolved onto an existing EX Pokemon – to play M Rayquaza EX, you needed an Rayquaza EX in play to evolve from. Supply exceeds demand for now, but there’s no way that’ll last in the long term. Prices for boxes are slowly beginning to creep up as they continue to be opened by Pokémon fans and collectors. Pokémon Celebrations is a set looking at the best that the TGC has to offer with a range of cards that will complement almost any collection. Of course, by far the most valuable card in the entire of Celebrations is based on the game's most valuable card full stop. Base Set Charizard has fetched hundreds of thousands at auction, and almost single-handedly drove last year's surge in demand for the game.One of two commemorative metal cards featuring Base Set Pikachu and Base Set Charizard, PSA have stopped grading the card due to problems with the surface when slabbing the card, if rumours are to be believed.
