Price: $17,500.00
Mega Charizard X EX 023 from Pokémon Black Star Promos, promo rarity, BGS Black Label. This one’s got that fierce mega-evolved vibe, with Charizard roaring amid blue flames and black scales that shift the whole color scheme from the classic orange. The artwork captures it mid-transformation, wings spread wide like it’s about to unleash hell on some unsuspecting foe. Hits different from the standard fire lizard look.
On the card text, it’s a Fire/Dragon type with 220 HP. No Ability here, but the attack is Crimson Dive—deals a massive 300 damage, though it slaps 50 back on itself. Basic enough for an EX, but that raw power makes it a beast in early XY-era decks. You evolve it from Charizard EX, and it’s got the usual EX rule where knocking it out gives two prizes. Solid for aggressive plays, if you’re into that high-risk burn strategy.
This promo dropped back in 2014, tied to the XY expansions when mega evolutions were the big shake-up. What stands out about this printing is how it came in special tins or promo packs, not the main sets like Flashfire. It’s one of those accessible yet chase-worthy pieces from the Black Star lineup, highlighting the X version over the Y one—blue fire instead of red, giving it that unique edge in the Charizard family. Not every promo gets this level of detail, but this one nails the mega mechanic shift.
For the slab, BGS Black Label means all subgrades hit 10: centering spot-on, corners sharp as a talon, edges clean, surface flawless. Eye appeal is through the roof with those vibrant colors popping under the case—no haze or print lines to distract. Pop reports show just 8 in Black Label, so it’s rare air for this card. Edges might have a tiny whisper of wear on lesser copies, but this one’s pristine.
I’d stash this in my display case, maybe next to a few dragon-types for that thematic nod.
