Price: $189.00
Charizard VMAX from the SV Black Star Promos, card number SV107, sitting pretty in a BGS 9.5 slab. This one’s the shiny version, all black and brooding with those fiery wings spread wide. That artwork? It’s got Charizard mid-roar, flames licking the edges like it’s about to torch the whole battlefield—simple but packs a punch, you know?
On the card text side, it’s a Fire type with a hefty 330 HP. Ability is G-Max Wildfire, which lets you discard two Energy to hit for 300 damage, but it benches your own Pokémon for 120 each. Attacks? Just the one big swing, really—straightforward power play for those VMAX decks that want to overwhelm fast. No frills, just raw destruction.
This printing dropped in 2021 as part of the Shining Fates set, specifically in the Shiny Vault subset. What stands out here is the shiny treatment—Charizard’s black scales instead of the usual orange, making it a fresh take on the classic fire lizard. Shining Fates was all about those shiny Pokémon, pulling from earlier sets but with that vault-exclusive vibe. It wasn’t a main series release, more of a special expansion, which kept pull rates low and collectors hunting for these alternate arts. Remember how packs flew off shelves back then? This SV107 became a chase card quick, especially for Charizard fans tired of the same old Base Set vibes.
Slab-wise, BGS 9.5 means it’s near-mint territory—subgrades likely strong across the board, with centering probably spot-on at 9.5 or 10, edges clean, corners sharp, and surface without major hits. Eye appeal is high thanks to that glossy shiny foil; it pops under lights without overwhelming glare. As for pop reports, from what I’ve seen in widely reported estimates, BGS has graded around 1,200 of these in total, with maybe 300 hitting 9.5 or better. Not flooded, but not unicorn rare either—solid for a modern heavy hitter.
I’d stash this one in a display case next to my coffee setup, just to glance at while brewing. That slab pop feeling when the light hits the foil? Yeah, it’s there.
