ABOUT THIS CARD

Blaine's Charizard is a rare holo Pokemon card from Pokemon Gym Challenge, card 2 of 132, released October 16, 2000 in the Gym series. The illustration is by Ken Sugimori.

Blaine's Charizard from Gym Challenge (2000) is the vintage era's second-most-chased Charizard. Its huge, coin-flip Firestorm attack was more spectacle than strategy, but owner-trainer Charizards from the Gym sets are a cornerstone of vintage character collections.

VALUE

What is Blaine's Charizard #2 from Gym Challenge worth?

Two different numbers answer this, and they are not interchangeable. Raw/ungraded: a loose, ungraded copy of Blaine's Charizard #2 (Gym Challenge) carries a market reference of $699.99 USD for the 1stEditionHolofoil printing (TCGplayer market price, as of 2026-09-11). Graded slabs: a graded example is priced per grading company and per grade and can sit far above that raw figure - documented public sales on file for this card run from $7999.00 (PSA 10, 2026-08-25) to $19200.00 (PSA 10, 2026-08-30), each listed with its source below. Both are references, not offers. The graded copy in our machine carries a Rip Station estimated slab value of $1300.00 (PSA 9).
