Grading math for this card
Prefilled with the latest qualifying sale for each grade where one exists. Replace any value with your own. We never suggest what grade your copy will get.
Formula from Grading: condition, uncertainty, and economics: grading pays only if your honest chance of the high grade exceeds (raw net + cost − other-outcome net) ÷ (high-grade net − other-outcome net). The 13% fee is an editable assumption, not a quoted tariff.
About Charizard ex
Charizard ex 234/091 is the English Paldean Fates Special Illustration Rare illustrated by AKIRA EGAWA. Collectors search for it because it is the highest-profile Charizard treatment in the Paldean Fates checklist and is often compared across raw, PSA 9, and PSA 10 copies.
Why this card matters
Verified factThe official Paldean Fates page describes Charizard ex among the highlighted Shiny Tera Pokemon ex in the expansion, and the card is cataloged as 234/091 Special Illustration Rare. This matters because Charizard ex has several Scarlet & Violet-era English cards, but Paldean Fates 234/091 is a distinct set-numbered version. Its importance comes from exact character, rarity tier, artwork, and set identity, not from a general search for Charizard ex. [1][2]
Identifying the exact version
Verified factUse the card number 234/091, the Paldean Fates set identity, English language, and Special Illustration Rare marking. Do not merge it with Obsidian Flames Charizard ex 223/197, Scarlet & Violet 151 Charizard ex 199/165, lower-rarity Paldean Fates Charizard ex cards, Japanese Shiny Treasure ex cards, or any jumbo printing. Slab labels should show 2024 Pokemon PAF EN-Paldean Fates, card 234, and Special Illustration Rare. [2][3][4]
What moves the price between versions and grades
Verified factThe strongest documented grade separation in this batch is between PSA 10 and PSA 9 sales shown on PSA cert pages. PSA reported recent similar-item PSA 10 eBay sales on September 25, 2026 at $769.95 and $810.00, while a PSA 9 cert page showed September 15, 2026 sales at $300.00, $274.99, and $265.00. These are comps for graded slabs only; they do not value raw copies or non-PSA slabs. [3][4]
Authenticity checks
AnalysisCompare against official references; multiple checks; no destructive tests; copied cert numbers exist. For this card, first verify that the copy is English Paldean Fates 234/091 and not a similar Charizard ex from another Scarlet & Violet set. On raw copies, inspect texture, foil, corners, edges, print quality, and back color under even light. On slabs, confirm the PSA cert details and still compare the holder, label, and visible card to the seller photos. [2][3][4]
