    "Sources: the `cards` catalog, the daily `price_history` tape and `graded_snapshots`, all read on day 20718, September 22 2026. Products are deduplicated on the TCGplayer product id; graded keys are looked up across every catalog id claiming the product plus the product id itself. RAW is an ASK, the most recent daily market figure. GRADED is a SOLD median, the latest `graded_snapshots` row for the grade with a median above zero, carrying its count of verified completed sales. Population: English priced products naming Charizard and no other species, by the canonical-key matcher described in [the species premium](/articles/the-species-premium). 114 English priced products name Charizard at all; 9 name a second species (five Reshiram & Charizard GX, four Charizard & Braixen GX) and are excluded; 105 remain; 82 carry a PSA 10 sold median and are the study population; 101 carry a PSA 9 sold median; 23 carry no PSA 10 sale and are excluded rather than scored as zero. The multiple is the PSA 10 sold median divided by the raw ask, per printing; the cash gap is the same two figures subtracted, in dollars. Both band tables are closed intervals and each sums to 82; the comp bands are cut at 25, 100 and 300 verified sales and the ask bands at $10, $50 and $200, and both are printed as computed, including the non-monotone ask table. Correlations are Spearman's rank correlation with average ranks for ties across the 82 printings. The catalog-wide check applies the identical comp bands to the 4,677 English products carrying both a raw ask and a PSA 10 sold median, and its four rows sum to 4,677. Ranking ties break on the card id ascending; medians are upper-middle on even samples and quartiles are nearest-rank. The published price study this extends matched on the word Charizard without the single-species rule and reported 114 printings and a median premium of 10.22x over the 91 of them with a recorded PSA 10 sale; this study's 105 and 11.19x differ for that reason and for the product-level deduplication, and both rules are printed so a recompute can reproduce either. Not financial advice."
