Summary

This Charizard VSTAR promo is in excellent Mint condition with a highly attractive, virtually flawless front presentation. The overall grade is primarily held back by minor factory edge whitening on the reverse side and top-heavy back centering.

ROI

PSA is slightly more lenient on back centering and minor factory edge wear compared to BGS and CGC, giving this card a very strong chance at a solid PSA 9. Because it is a popular Charizard promo, securing a Mint 9 slab improves liquidity and slightly boosts its value over raw.
