2022 Pokemon Star Birth Japanese Charizard V SR #103. From the Star Birth set, this one’s a Super Rare full art, slabbed at BGS 10 Black Label. Yeah, that’s the pinnacle for Beckett grading, where every subgrade hits a perfect 10.
The artwork on this Charizard V? It’s got that fierce, mid-roar stance with flames bursting everywhere, wings spread wide against a stormy backdrop. Simple but intense, like Charizard’s ready to torch the competition. You can almost feel the heat coming off the card.
Card text keeps it straightforward: Fire type, 220 HP. Ability is Explosive Fire, which lets you attach extra Fire Energy from discard if you take damage. Attacks include Incinerate at 90 damage, discarding the opponent’s Active Pokémon’s attached cards, and Heat Blast for a solid 180. It’s built for aggressive play, no frills, just raw power that fits Charizard’s vibe.
Star Birth dropped in Japan back in January 2022, kicking off the Sword & Shield era’s final stretch before Scarlet & Violet. This printing stands out because it’s the Japanese version of the Brilliant Stars Charizard V Alternate Art, but with that clean holo foil and text that’s more compact. Collectors dig it for the international flair, especially since Japanese cards often have sharper print quality. It’s not the rarest in the set, but as a Charizard chase card, it pulls in folks who remember the base set days.
Now, the slab itself: BGS 10 Black Label means centering is dead on, edges flawless, corners sharp as a tack, and surface without a single blemish. Eye appeal is off the charts with that vibrant orange and red popping through the case. From what I’ve seen in pop reports, Black Labels for this card are scarce—maybe a handful exist worldwide, if that. It’s the kind of grade that makes you double-check the label.
I’d stash this one in a display case where the light catches those flames just right, maybe next to some older ‘Zards for contrast.
