1999 Pokémon Game #4 Charizard – Holo 1999 Pokémon Game #4 Charizard – HoloĪs the de facto face of Pokémon, much has been said of the iconic 1 st Edition Holographic Charizard. Of 818 examples submitted to PSA, just 45 have earned PSA 10. The #3 card in the set’s holographic issues can command figures close to those of Blastoise. You may think this pink, feather-eared, kangaroo-like Pokémon is funny, but the values this lovable creature can fetch are no joking matter. 1999 Pokémon Game #3 Chansey – Holo 1999 Pokémon Game #3 Chansey – Holo Of the 1,138 examples submitted to PSA, just 93 have earned PSA 10. You can probably guess what card comes in first. This fact is reflected in the PSA 10 values of Blastoise, figures that entrench the water-type Pokémon as the second most valuable card of the set. If the fire-breathing Charizard and hydro-pumping Blastoise had a popularity contest, the latter is apt to put up a fight but come in second. Of the 797 examples submitted, 80 have earned the coveted PSA 10 grade. Like the other 15 holographic cards, Alakazam suffers from condition issues right out of the pack. And though this card is less desirable than, let’s say, Blastoise, it still commands figures in the $2k range for examples in PSA 10. The magical Alakazam starts off the group.

Here’s a breakdown of the 16 sought after holographic cards and their approximate values, using info from PSA’s online resources like Auction Prices Realized, SMR Price Guide, and CardFacts.
As a result, PSA 10s are difficult to come by and continue to reach new heights in trading card value. To this day, holographic cards are extremely condition sensitive and often incur nicks and scratches right from the pack. That, coupled with the short run of approximately 10,000 copies of each card and the fact that the initial 1999 release sold out in a flash, makes these Pokémon cards some of the toughest catches. Of the 102 cards from the original release, just 16 cards were of the shiny, holographic sort. We’ve explored some of the rarest and most valuable Pokémon cards out there, now we turn to the rarest cards from the release that started the Pokémon craze I’m talking about 1 st Edition Pokémon holographic cards.
