Charizard ex from the 10th Movie Commemoration Set, numbered 009/049, shines as a holo rare in a BGS Black Label slab. That fiery artwork captures Charizard mid-roar, wings flared against a stormy backdrop, like it’s about to unleash chaos on the battlefield. Simple but intense, the pose draws you right in.
On the card text side, it’s a Fire-type with 120 HP. The Ability isn’t there, but attacks pack a punch: “Heat Blast” for 50 damage, and the big one, “Blue Flame” that discards two Fire Energy for 120 damage while risking self-burn if you flip tails. Classic ex mechanic where it counts as two Prize cards when KO’d. Keeps games tense, especially in older formats.
This printing dropped in 2007 as part of the Japanese promo set tied to the movie “The Rise of Darkrai.” What stands out? It’s not your standard expansion card—came in half decks distributed at theaters, making it a niche pull for collectors who chased movie tie-ins. Compared to English versions, the Japanese holo pattern has that subtle shine, and the artwork feels more dynamic without borders crowding it. Folks remember it for bridging the ex era with newer mechanics, plus Charizard’s eternal fanbase keeps these relevant in vintage discussions.
Slab-wise, this one’s a BGS Black Label, meaning perfect 10s across all subgrades: centering, corners, edges, surface. Eye appeal is off the charts—colors pop without fading, holo foil gleams under light, no print lines or whitening to nitpick. Pop reports show this as a true POP 1 in Black Label, a unicorn in the grading world since BGS is picky with those pristine designations. No PSA equivalent mentioned, but that’s the appeal for Beckett fans who dig the detailed labels.
I’d stash this in a display case next to other movie promos, just to admire how it ties back to those theater pack openings.
