Charizard ex · Obsidian Flames, what to know.
About the Charizard ex card
Numbered 228 of 230 in Obsidian Flames, released in August 2023, Charizard ex is a Hyper Rare, a Stage 2 Darkness-type carrying 330 HP.
It evolves from Charmeleon, so Charizard ex is a later-stage card that set-builders usually slot into a full evolution run rather than buy alone.

What is Charizard ex worth?
Charizard ex is a holo rare, one of the cards that holds Obsidian Flames's value. The rarity tier decides most of it, since the same card prints at several tiers with very different prices. In top-grade 1st Edition, Obsidian Flames holos range from the mid hundreds for the lesser cards up to the set's marquee chase; raw and Unlimited copies trade for a fraction of that. The live market price above shows the current figure by grade.
Print variants and how to spot them
Confirm the print and finish on Charizard ex before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Grading Charizard ex comes down to the holo surface and the borders. The era's foil scratches easily, so even a pack-fresh Charizard ex can drop from a 10 to a 9 on a single hairline. Inspect the window at an angle and the corners against the frame.
If you are collecting Charizard ex
When you go to buy Charizard ex, settle three things in order: the print variant, the condition, and a comp for that exact combination. A blended average across variants will mislead you on Charizard ex, so price the specific copy in front of you.
