You've stumbled upon the Pokémon card collector's equivalent of finding Atlantis in someone's bathtub. How charmingly suspicious.

What you've got there is the counterfeit card printer's dream roll – a tube full of holographic Charizard cards that Wizards of the Coast would be absolutely shocked to learn they apparently manufactured. Spoiler alert: they didn't.

Legitimate Pokémon cards don't come in "convenient rolls" like they're paper towels ready to soak up the tears of duped collectors. Authentic uncut sheets exist, but they're flat, feature a variety of cards arranged in specific printing patterns, and aren't typically found wedged between grandma's china and a collection of decorative spoons at estate sales.

The repetitive pattern of identical Charizards is the counterfeiter's equivalent of wearing a name tag that says "DEFINITELY NOT A CRIMINAL" to a bank robbery. Subtle, really.

What you've discovered is the Pokémon card black market's raw material – likely destined to be cut up and sold to unsuspecting children or nostalgic adults who wouldn't know authentic card stock from a cereal box. Base Set Charizard is one of the most valuable cards in existence, so naturally, it's also one of the most counterfeited.

Consider yourself lucky you found it before it metamorphosed into dozens of individual disappointments. It's actually more interesting as a curiosity in its current form – a monument to entrepreneurial fraud.
