This collectible is the iconic Charizard holographic Pokémon trading card from the original English Base Set. The card features Charizard as a Stage 2 Fire-type Pokémon that evolves from Charmeleon, with 120 HP shown in red in the upper right corner and a Fire-type symbol next to the HP. The main illustration box shows Charizard in a dynamic roaring pose with wings spread, on a bright, multi‑colored holographic background bordered in yellow. The top left corner of the card shows the Stage 2 evolution badge with a small image of Charmeleon and the text ”Evolves from Charmeleon”. Beneath the art box is the flavor line ”Flame Pokémon. Length: 5’ 7”, Weight: 200 lbs.” The card text includes a Pokémon Power named ”Energy Burn” which states that during your turn you may turn all Energy attached to Charizard into Fire Energy for the rest of the turn, with a restriction that it cannot be used if Charizard is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed. Below that is the attack ”Fire Spin” costing four Fire Energy symbols and dealing 100 damage, with a requirement to discard 2 Energy cards attached to Charizard in order to use the attack. Weakness is to Water (water-drop symbol), resistance is Fighting with –30, and the retreat cost is three Colorless Energy symbols. At the very bottom, the flavor text reads ”Spits fire that is hot enough to melt boulders. Known to unintentionally cause forest fires.” followed by its Level (LV. 76) and Pokédex number (#6). The illustrator credit in the lower left states ”Illus. Mitsuhiro Arita”. The copyright line reads ”©1995, 96, 98 Nintendo, Creatures, GAMEFREAK. ©1999 Wizards.” The collector number at the very bottom right is ”4/102” with a star rarity symbol, indicating it is a rare holo card from the original 102‑card Base Set. The reverse image shows the standard blue Pokémon card back with a centered Poké Ball and the yellow Pokémon logo, and the card is housed in a rigid, clear plastic protective case. This is a highly recognizable and sought‑after vintage trading card often referred to as the Base Set Holo Charizard.
