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.

Break-even chance of a PSA 10

Enter a grading cost to calculate.

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 Mega Charizard X ex

Mega Charizard X ex 125/094 is the English Special Illustration Rare from Mega Evolution—Phantasmal Flames. Collectors search for it because it combines Charizard demand, a top modern illustration treatment, and multiple same-name Charizard printings that must be kept separate.

Why this card matters

Verified factMega Charizard X ex 125/094 sits in the second Mega Evolution-era English expansion and was previewed by Pokemon before the November 14, 2025 launch. Its demand is tied to the exact SIR treatment, not just the Charizard name: the set contains several Mega Charizard X ex printings with different numbers and treatments. For CardVolume, this makes the card useful as a clean example of Chapter 02 identity work: same character and same set are still not enough to price the object. [1][2][3]

Identifying the exact version

Verified factThe exact English card is Mega Charizard X ex, Phantasmal Flames, 125/094, Special Illustration Rare, illustrated by danciao. The front should show the 125/094 collector number and the SIR rarity symbol, and the PSA label style found in cert records names it as 2025 Pokemon PFL EN-Phantasmal Flames #125 Mega Charizard X ex Special Illustration Rare. Do not substitute the Double Rare, Ultra Rare, Mega Hyper Rare, Japanese release, or any Black Star promo when building comps. [3][4][5]

What moves the price between versions and grades

AnalysisThe opened PSA cert pages show a wide separation between PSA 10 and PSA 9 comparable sales in September 2026. PSA 10 rows on one source page cluster around four-figure eBay results, while PSA 9 rows on another page are much lower. That spread is grade-specific evidence, not proof that raw cards will grade at the higher level. Chapter 04 applies directly: centering, surface, corners, edges, and hidden defects can change the financial comparison even when the card is pack fresh. [4][5][6]

Authenticity checks

Verified factCompare the card against official Phantasmal Flames references and the exact PSA cert details when buying a slab. Use several checks together: collector number, set, language, rarity, texture, print quality, back design, seller photos, and holder details. Do not use destructive tests, and do not rely on a cert lookup alone because copied certification numbers exist. A listing should show the same physical card, front and back, and the slab should match the cert record before any sale is treated as comparable. [3][7][8]

Identity note: Seed year corrected from 2026 to 2025. Official product materials place Mega Evolution—Phantasmal Flames release on November 14, 2025; the collector number is treated as 125/094, not just 125.
Why collectors look this card up: TCGscreener ranks it #16 most-graded Pokemon card, 53k+ PSA submissions. source 1

What people get wrong about this card

Any Mega Charizard X ex from Phantasmal Flames is the same comp.
The set has multiple Mega Charizard X ex printings, so the SIR 125/094 must be separated from #013, #109, and #130. This is the exact-identity rule in ch02.
The PSA population is the print run.
The population count is a PSA graded-copy count at a point in time; it does not count raw, sealed, unsubmitted, or other-grader copies. This is explicitly rejected in ch02.
A PSA 10 sale tells you what every raw copy is worth.
A PSA 10 sale is a graded comp for PSA 10 copies only. Raw copies need raw comps or a grading scenario with costs and probabilities, per ch03 and ch04.
A valid cert number authenticates the slab by itself.
PSA warns that valid numbers can be copied, so the physical slab and card still need inspection. This is covered in ch04 and ch06.
