Price: $499.00
Mega Charizard X EX from the Black Star Promos, clocking in at number 023, snagged a pristine CGC 10 grade. This one’s got that fierce mega-evolved vibe, with Charizard X roaring mid-transformation, blue scales popping against those black flames—artwork that just draws you in like a moth to a, well, flame.
On the card text side, it’s a Fire type with a hefty 230 HP. No Ability here, but its attack is Crimson Dive, dealing 300 damage for three Fire and one Colorless energy—though it comes with 100 self-damage recoil. Solid powerhouse for decks back in the day, the kind you’d slap down to turn the tide in a tight match.
This promo dropped in 2014, tied to the XY era when mega evolutions were shaking up the game. What makes this printing stand out is its exclusive release in things like the Mega Charizard Box sets, not your standard booster pack pull. It captured that early mega hype, with Charizard X’s dragon-fire twist setting it apart from the classic orange lizard we all grew up with. Collectors dig it for bridging the old-school charm with new mechanics, especially since promos like this weren’t flooding the market.
Slab-wise, a CGC 10 means it’s about as flawless as they come—centering spot-on at probably 10/10, edges sharp without a nick, corners like they just left the printer, and surface gleaming with zero haze. Eye appeal is off the charts; that glossy holo foil makes the blue tones shimmer under light, almost like it’s breathing fire. Pop reports for CGC 10s on this card are scarce, but from what I’ve seen in collector circles, they’re estimated low, maybe under 50 total, given how tough promos grade perfect.
I’d stash this one in a display case where the sunlight hits it just right, watching it glow like a mini bonfire.
