DARK CHARIZARD | 2000 POKEMON ROCKET 21 | 1ST EDITION | PSA NM-MT 8

PSA Graded Card - Certification #75314926 - Grade: NM-MT 8

This card features Dark Charizard, a Stage 2 Flame Pokémon, with animated artwork by Ken Sugimori. The card is identified by its iconic yellow border, bold 'Dark Charizard' title in black at the top, 80 HP in red, and a Team Rocket ‘R’ symbol in the lower right. Notable is the '1st Edition' black stamp on the lower left, indicating first print run. Background art is darker and more menacing versus regular Charizard, supporting the Rocket Team's theme. The card showcases two attacks: Nail Flick and Continuous Fireball, with energy requirements listed via icons. Text fields include Pokémon’s height, weight, flavor text, and attack details. The card number, set symbol, and Wizards logo printed at the bottom confirm authenticity. The card is slabbed and graded PSA 8 (NM-MT), indicating near mint to mint condition with only very minor imperfections visible. This card uses traditional Pokémon TCG printing processes with no holographic foil on this variant. Historically, Dark Charizard is one of the most sought-after cards from the Team Rocket set, reflecting both the popularity of Charizard and the allure of villain-themed cards. Notably, the 1st Edition print, marked by the stamp, is far more valuable and collectible than the unlimited versions. Unique identifiers are the artwork, 1st Edition stamp, and set numbering: 21/82.
