Shinning Charizard

- Start date
Are you referring to the old Shining Pokemon? I don't remember exactly how rare they are, but yeah, lots of people seem to have them. I'd assume they are a little rarer than ex Pokemon are today, but not as rare as the star Pokemon. If I'm wrong, feel free to correct me, of course, as I was not involved in the game at that time.
Hmm but the rarest Charizard cards today (as of I know and except the Raichu prerelease misprint) is Base Set Charizard, second is shining Charizard, and third is Crystal Charizard (FYI Crystal Charizard - one with crystal body/type) I dunno if Charizard * will be added to the list, but I think so. I also don't know why people love Charizard so much >.< But for me, the rarest cards are the different Pikachu's, like Baloon, Surfing, Birthday etc.
I'm hoping to get a Charizard * @ the Sydney Pre-release.
Charizards=same rarity odds as other cards
Charizards being rare=It is highly sought after for
Charizards=Useless lizards but mainly for collectors

Alchemist Almightgy you have it very wrong shinnings back then were hard to get even though there were a lot of them. they arent as rare as the 3 hoen starters stars in TRR though
Actually, Shinings from the older sets (Neo: Revelations, Neo: Destiny) had about the same rarity as a normal holo. Same with Dark Raichu in the original Team Rocket set, and other secret cards. The new Shining Pokémon (EX: Team Rocket Returns onwards) generally come anywhere from 1 per box to possibly 1 out of every 3 boxes.
WotC was rather mean to make the rarity of the old shining cards the same as regular holos. From what I understand, the shinings in Neo 3 and Neo 4 in Japan were extremely rare, and generally were valued $50 and upwards. Old Shinings outside of Japan seem to go for as high as $20, but rarely higher.
I've seen an eBay auction where Shining δ Charizard was going for $60 with 114 bids, so as I expected, it is a valuable card.
