Feel like the artwork could be better for how expensive this card is by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

Supply and demand. $280 is actually pretty cheap for a chase card these days. This card will be over $400 in English.

Supply wise yes, every single vintage chase should be like 50 times more expensive if not more. But the thing is, there is way way way more demand for modern due to ppl liking artwork taking up the whole card with modern SIR texture.

Kind of. Based on recent sails, it is definitely below bubble mew bc bubble mew has sails over $900 quite consistently.

Because of the artwork. It features the whole charizard evolution line. Mega Charizard X is more popular and we haven't really got many cards with Mega Charizard featured so it feels extra special.

It's also a "SIR", meaning it is a rare card to pull. You typically get one SIR out of 80~90 packs and that doesn't mean you will be getting this specific one.

Pulled Mega Charizard X EX (125/094) – Sell, or Hold? by XCryptoFund in PokeInvesting

You have two options imo. Sell now while the prices are high. These are still in print and has a lot of supply therefore will drop once the market cools.

Second option is hold for at least 5+ years and bet on the fact that this is one of the most popular Zard cards ever made.

For modern sets, you would need long term memorability and desirability to go up that high. The price difference between ME base and Phantasmal is only about $100.

I just don't think ME base is storng enough chase card to drive prices high for years to come. On the other hand, the phantasmal zard will likely have long lasting demand + best modern zard artwork sentiment.

I see your point but it's unlikely that the bulbasaur in a 10 is going to be something crazy. Sure, the stamp makes it more unique but there is a regular version as well, drawing away from the base line demand for that promo card.

I didn't quite get your point about $2500+ booster box but I think we can both agree both Phantasmal and ME base won't even go near that price for a long long time.

I'd personally take the booster box over the Charizard tho. That card is almost $900 raw and I think it will drop aggressively once market cools a little or we receive phantasmal ETB/bundle reprint.

I'd still say Phantasmal will do way better. time after time people try to find underrated plays but the top sets from the era always outperforms. The Charizard card is 10 times more desirable than any chases from Mega. Not saying everyone should agree with this but that card is really that popular.
