Charizard is one of the most beloved Pokemon of all time, since its debut in Pokemon Red and Blue fans have adored the fiery Dragon for years and this has carried over to the TCG as well. Whenever new Charizard cards are released there’s a lot of excitement surrounding them.

The most recent batch of Charizard cards featured in the Obsidian Flames expansion has provided fans with four new versions of the ‘mon to add to their decks, and the type-shifted Tera Charizard ex and currently the most sought-after.

If you’re wondering exactly how much these new Charizard cards are worth, we’ve got everything you need to know about them right here.

Which Obsidian Flames Charizard card is the most valuable?

Although the gold Hyper Rare Charizard ex is technically the rarest card in the Obsidian Flames set, it’s actually the Special Illustration Rare Charizard ex card that’s fetching the highest price at the moment.

This variation of the Charizard ex card got plenty of hype when it was revealed – we even named it the best card in the expansion – so we can only assume that the quality of the card’s design is what’s hiking up its market value past its rarer sibling.

What are the Obsidian Flames Charizard ex cards worth?

Here are the Charizard ex cards in the Obsidian Flames set and what their market value on TCGPlayer is at the time of writing:
