The most valuable Charizard cards, from Skyridge to 151
We track 157 cards with Charizard in the name. The Skyridge Charizard leads at about £4,200, ahead of Shining Charizard. Here's the top 12, and the two Charizards with real UK sales behind their price.
Charizard is the card most people think of first. We track 157 cards with Charizard in the name, 44 of them Japanese, and the top of the list is mostly cards from more than 20 years ago.
The list is ranked by the European and US market price, so every card is measured the same way. Old Charizards rarely sell in the UK in a way we can count cleanly, so most prices here are market prices. Card pages have today's numbers.

Skyridge is in a league of its own
The Skyridge Charizard sits at about £4,222, more than three times the next card. Skyridge was one of the last sets of the e-Card era and was printed in small numbers, which is why its holo cards are so hard to find in good condition.
Base Set isn't number one
The Base Set Charizard is the most famous card in the hobby, but raw it sits at number 7, about £582. Its fame shows up in graded copies, where top grades sell for many times that. Raw copies come in every condition, and the market price is for a near mint card.
A new one in the top 6
The Mega Charizard X ex from Phantasmal Flames is the only card from the last two years in the top 12, at about £600. It's new, so its price can still move a lot either way.
The two Charizards with real UK sales
Most UK Charizard buying happens on two modern cards:
- Charizard ex 199/165 from 151 sells for about £248 raw, from 12 UK sales.
- Charizard ex 223 from Obsidian Flames sells for about £79, from 17 UK sales.
How we price these
UK prices are the middle of real eBay UK sold listings, cleaned of fakes, lots, graded copies and other languages. When a card has too few UK sales, we show the Cardmarket and TCGplayer price in pounds and say so. Data, not financial advice.
