Price: $45.00
Charizard ex from the SV Black Star Promos, numbered SV03, comes as a special rarity promo in raw condition straight from the pack. This one’s a full art version, pulling from the Obsidian Flames vibes but with that promo twist. The artwork shows Charizard mid-roar, wings flared against a fiery backdrop, and the holo catches light like it’s breathing actual flames when you tilt it just right.
It’s a Fire type with 330 HP, evolving from Charmeleon. The Ability is Infernal Reign—when you evolve into this beast, you can search your deck for up to three Basic Fire Energy cards and attach them to your Pokémon however you like, then shuffle. Attacks include Burning Darkness for 180 damage, which ramps up by 30 for each Prize card your opponent has taken, and it needs two Fire and two Colorless Energy.
This promo dropped in 2023 as part of the Scarlet & Violet era, tied to the Obsidian Flames set where the main card is 215/197. It’s one of those releases that came in premium collections or tins, so raw copies often show up with that fresh-from-the-factory feel. Common quirks include slight centering shifts—maybe the borders aren’t perfectly even, or the holo foil has a subtle wave pattern that some collectors nitpick. Print runs for these promos aren’t endless, so you might spot minor stock variations, like a bit of gloss on the surface that picks up fingerprints if you’re not careful.
In raw shape, this card’s corners are sharp, no dings or bends that scream mishandling. Edges look clean, white and unchiseled, without the whitening that comes from rough shuffling. The surface is smooth, free of scratches or print lines that could dull the art, and that holo flash pops under light without any clouding or foil defects. It’s the kind of copy that sits nicely in a sleeve, edges straight and centering decent enough to not drive you nuts.
Sleeve it quick or send it to grading—your call.
