    "Population: every English-language card in our catalogue whose name carries Charizard as a whole word and which holds a TCGplayer product id, 114 printings across 54 sets. Name matching is deliberately literal, so it includes trainer cards that carry the name, such as Charizard Spirit Link, and multi-Pokémon cards such as Reshiram & Charizard GX. Asks are the most recent daily market price recorded for each printing in our price_history table, dated September 22, 2026 for 113 of the 114; the Dragon Frontiers Charizard ☆ δ was last quoted on September 19. They are listing prices, not completed sales. Graded figures are medians of verified completed sales from our graded_snapshots table, read on September 22, 2026, with the sample size printed beside every one. Medians use the upper-middle value on even samples. The steady-median table is restricted to printings whose PSA 10 median stayed within ten percent of itself across every day we recorded, because a median that moves several hundred percent in a week is reporting a change in which sales are in view. A missing PSA 10 row means no sale was recorded, never that the card is worth nothing. Nothing here is financial advice."
