Mega Charizard X Ex #125 SIR from Phantasmal Flames, secret rare, slabbed at BGS 9.5 Gem Mint. This one’s a beast in the mega evolution lineup. You see that artwork right away—the blue-black Charizard roaring with flames bursting everywhere, mid-mega shift. That pose hits hard, like it’s about to torch the whole battlefield. No nonsense there.
On the card text, it’s a Fire type with 220 HP. The big move is Wild Blaze, dealing 300 damage but you discard the top 5 cards from your deck. Ouch if you’re low on cards, but man, that power. There’s also the standard mega rule: ends your turn when you evolve. Keeps things balanced, I guess. Short and punchy for competitive play back then.
Set dropped in 2014, part of the XY era when megas were fresh and shaking up decks. This printing stands out because it’s a secret rare with that inverted foil pattern—SIR probably nods to some special inverse rarity treatment. Not your basic pull; it was tucked at the end of the set list, making it a chase for pack rippers. Phantasmal Flames brought ghostly vibes mixed with fire themes, but this Charizard steals the show with its aggressive redesign from the usual red version. Collectors dig how it flips the script on the iconic lizard.
In the slab, centering clocks in strong, probably 9.5 or better on subs, with edges and corners sharp as you’d expect for Gem Mint. Surface has that clean shine, no major whitening or scratches pulling it down. Eye appeal is solid—the foil pops under light without overwhelming the art. From what I recall on BGS pop reports, these don’t slab this high often; estimate around 40 or so in 9.5, way less than PSA equivalents for similar megas. Rare to see one this clean, especially with the heavy play these saw in tournaments.
I’d display this front and center, maybe next to its red counterpart for that dual vibe. Reminds me of sorting through old binders, spotting one like this buried in the extras.
