Charizard Icons I

A proposed collection of landmark Charizard cards spanning the history of the Pokémon TCG.

Target collection value

£1,000,000

Target assets

20–30 graded Charizard cards

Collection thesis

Charizard is the most culturally recognisable character in the trading-card hobby, and the reference point new collectors and outside capital both start from.

The proposed collection targets cards that mark distinct eras of the Pokémon TCG rather than accumulating repeat inventory of a single print run.

Selection is weighted towards grade scarcity, census depth and long-run transaction history rather than short-term price momentum.

Why these assets?

Era coverage: Base Set, Neo, e-Card, EX and modern chase cards.
Condition discipline: examples are shortlisted against population reports before any offer is made.
Provenance: acquisition candidates require a documented ownership and certification trail.
Liquidity awareness: at least part of the collection targets cards with observable, repeated public sales.

Collection construction

Target assets: 20–30 cards
Anchor positions: 3–5 cards at 25–40% of collection value
Supporting positions: 15–25 cards across eras
Grading floor: PSA 8 / equivalent or above
Geography: UK, EU, US and Japan sourcing
