Summary

This is a beautifully preserved Charizard VMAX promo displaying brilliant color and pristine front surface condition. The card is limited to a 9 due to slight front top-heavy centering and minor factory edge/corner wear on the reverse, which is extremely common for Sword & Shield Ultra Premium Collection promos.

ROI

While the card is in solid Mint condition, it is highly likely to grade a 9 across most major companies due to the minor back whitening. Because this specific promo was heavily printed, a grade of 9 carries a market value very close to its raw value, meaning grading fees may negate any potential profit. It is only recommended to grade this piece for a personal collection rather than investment.
