Know Before You Submit
A Charizard grade prediction takes 30 seconds. A PSA turnaround takes 20–65 business days and costs $50+. Scan first.
Centering Measured to PSA Tolerances
Off-center printing is the #1 reason Charizards miss PSA 10. Our AI uses a digital GradeMaster overlay to measure border ratios on all four sides — PSA allows 60/40 for a 10 and 65/35 for a 9. You'll know where your card stands before paying submission fees.
Zoomed Corner and Edge Inspection
Each corner and each edge is inspected individually with zoomed-in analysis — the same way professional grade masters do it by hand. On vintage Charizards, corner whitening is often invisible to the naked eye but drops a PSA 10 to a 9 instantly. The AI catches it.
Live Charizard Prices at Every Grade
After the grade, see live market values from PokeTrace and eBay sold listings — raw, PSA 9, and PSA 10. The PSA 10 premium on a Base Set Charizard can be $1,500+. Knowing that before you submit is the whole point.

Charizard Grading FAQ
Which Charizard cards does the grader support?
CardGrading.app supports all Charizard printings — Base Set Unlimited, Shadowless, and 1st Edition; Shining Charizard (Neo Destiny); Charizard ex (FireRed & LeafGreen); Charizard ★ (Dragon Frontiers); Charizard VMAX (Champion's Path, Darkness Ablaze); Charizard ex (Obsidian Flames); Charizard ex 151 Special Illustration Rare (SIR); and all modern Paldean variants. If it's a Pokémon TCG Charizard, the AI recognises it.
How accurate is the Charizard grade prediction?
The AI predicts a PSA-aligned 1–10 grade using the same four criteria professional graders assess: centering, corners, edges, and surface. For Charizard cards — especially vintage Base Set copies — the AI is specifically sensitive to the edge and corner whitening issues that most commonly keep copies from PSA 9 and 10. Predictions are estimates, not official grades, and accuracy improves with a well-lit, flat photo.
Is it worth grading my Charizard?
It depends on the specific card and its condition. A Base Set 1st Edition Charizard at PSA 10 can fetch $30,000+; a PSA 9 around $2,000–$5,000; a raw copy might sell for $200–$600. The math only works if the card has a realistic shot at PSA 9 or 10. Scan it first with CardGrading.app to get a grade prediction and see live market values at each grade level — then decide if the PSA fee is worth it.
How do I get the most accurate grade prediction for a Charizard?
Place the card face-up on a plain, non-reflective surface in even natural or soft white light. Avoid direct flash, which creates glare on holo cards and obscures surface flaws. Hold your phone directly above the card (not at an angle) and take a sharp, uncropped photo. For vintage Charizards, photograph both front and back — the AI grades both sides independently.
What is the difference between a PSA 9 and PSA 10 Charizard?
For a Base Set Unlimited Charizard, the difference between PSA 9 and PSA 10 is typically $1,000–$2,000+. For a Base Set 1st Edition, it can be $25,000+. That gap is determined by a fraction of a millimetre of centering, micro-whitening on a single corner, or a hairline scratch on the holo surface that is invisible without magnification. This is exactly why pre-screening with an AI grader before paying PSA fees makes financial sense.
