Yeah, so don't pay $100 for it haha
I saw an auction for one of those PSA 10 'zards end at around $20 last year.
It's not a particularly rare card, so it's price fluctuates.
The image has gone, you need to try upload it is with Imageshack.
Crystal Charizard 146/144 was released in a short print called Skyridge. It is easily worth $120 or more in Mint condition. I'd value a NM one around $80. Your other Charizard 4/102 is from Base set and, by comparison, is *much* more common. It is worth around $15-20 in NM condition. I've sold some as high as $40 but those were immaculate.Miiw said:

I mean the one in the photo, I've kept it in a protective sleeve all the time and I was the one who picked it up from a booster pack.So could I call it mint or nearly mint?
You'll have to examine the card for signs of damage or wear.
Here are my personal guidelines:
Mint: This card looks as though you *just* pulled it from a pack. Minor printing imperfections (e.g. a perfectly horizontal scratch on the foil or slightly off centered) may be visible only upon closer inspection.
Near-Mint: This card has not been played but may contain very minor foil scratches and/or whitening along the reverse of the card. It is difficult for me to draw the line between Near-Mint cards and Excellent which I will discuss next.
Excellent: You can expect slightly more damage on a card with this grade. Scuffs may be apparent on the foil itself and there may also be silver showing through the ink.
Anything below that I would consider Very Good or Played. I consider myself to be extremely picky with condition and try not to keep cards that are not at least Near-Mint (even then, I still want to replace them). Hope that helps.
Could you upload pictures of the backs, of the cards. This could help identify whether it is indeed mint. The Base charizard, has some scratches on the picture, The Crystal one looks like it has a little bend in the top right corner. It might just be the flash though.
Hello Pokefans!
Recently took a look through my old cards after the release of Pokemon X & Y and found some cards I think might be worth finally unloading.
So without further ado!
1st Edition Shadowless:
Charizard, Nidoking, Raichu, Machamp, Clefairy
1st Edition Holo's:
Machamp (Still in the original wrapping, see picture)
1st Edition:
Double Colorless, Water Energy, Fighting Energy x2, Lightning Energy x4, Psychic Energy x3, Pokemon Center, Maintenance, Full Heal, Pokemon Flute, Pokedex, Professor Oak, Gust of Wind, Devolution Spray, Potion, Magnemite x2, Gastly, Drowzee, Machop, Onix, Metapod x2, Charmander x2, Charmeleon, Pidgey x2, Poliwag x2, Ponyta, Diglet, Dugtrio, Koffing, Growlithe, Abra, Squirtle, Staryu, Wartortle, Seel, Raticate, Nidorino, Dragonair, Poliwhirl, Tangela, Porygon, Electrode, Magmar, Magikarp, Jynx, Arcanine, Pidgeotto x2
Shadowless:
Chansey, Hitmonchan, Venusaur, Charizard, Gyarados, Mewtwo
All cards are in pristine condition. Prior to Pokemon being released in 1999 I played MTG for a number of years and was already accustomed to putting my cards into penny clear sleeves after opening boost packs. They have remained in a 3 ring binder with card pages only to be seen every once in awhile, which is a real shame because I know someone else could probably appreciate them more than I do.
I guess my biggest question is, whether or not some are worth getting rated, as well as which are worth selling individually and which I should just try to sell as a bulk deal.
Thanks in advance for any and all help!

Well it all depends on personal preference, personally I would get the Holo's graded if you have the money. That will then increase the value of your cards.
The holo's I would sell individually, but probably best to get graded.

Yeah, send them in for grading

Anywhere from £2.50-£7. They aren't really worth that much.
