Radiant Charizard 015/172 from VSTAR Universe, a Radiant Rare pulled into a PSA 10 slab. This one’s got that classic fire-breathing vibe, with Charizard mid-roar, wings flared out against a starry backdrop. The artwork captures the intensity without overdoing it—simple, bold lines that make the flames pop.
On the card text side, it’s a Fire-type Basic with 160 HP. Ability is Excited Heart, dropping the cost of its attacks by Colorless for each Prize your opponent has snagged. Main attack? Explosive Fire for 130 damage, plus an extra 100 if this ‘Zard has any damage counters on it. Solid for aggressive plays, especially in formats where you ramp up fast. No weakness to Water here, which is a nice twist on the usual.
VSTAR Universe dropped in 2022 as a Japanese high-class set, basically a greatest-hits compilation with shiny new arts and Radiant forms. What stands out about this printing? It’s part of the Sword & Shield era’s swan song, blending reprints with exclusive stuff like these Radiants. Not as flooded as some English sets, so it feels a bit more unique for collectors who dig the original language cards. The Radiant mechanic adds that foil sheen, making it shine under lights.
Slab-wise, PSA 10 means gem mint all around—edges sharp, surface clean, no whitening. Centering looks dead on, probably 9.5 or better on subs, giving it killer eye appeal with that radiant holo pattern catching every angle. Pop reports put PSA 10s for this card around 400 last I checked, not super rare but tough to nail in perfect shape given the foil’s tendency to scratch.
I’d stash this one in a display case where the light hits just right, maybe next to some older ‘Zards for contrast.
