Hello again,
A few days ago I posted about your thoughts on the unlimited PSA 9 Base Charizard and its recent increase in price.
This got me wondering:
What do you think is a fair current price for a PSA 9 4th print Charizard?
And what do you believe the future holds for this card?
Curious to hear your thoughts!
I really like the card, really wish PSA would recognize the 1999-2000 print! I really don’t see them for sale too often.
My purchase of a PSA 9 wasn’t recent (Oct 2018) but even then I paid well over the base set price, at $435.
I sold mine about a year and a half ago for $1000 AUD, regular unlimited at the time was about $300 AUD, not sure if the ratios are still the same though
Same! Unfortunately I doubt PSA will do this, although I have a bit of hope.
It would be really cool if PSA recognized the cards.
A reply I got on that very topic almost a month ago:
"Good Afternoon,

Wow awesome, thanks for sharing!
I hope that isn’t just a standard reply
According to Gary it is ~
Excited to see there’s been a sale on the card again, which might give us a better idea of where its currently at:
Best offer accepted of 1300$
It would be interesting to hear their reasoning behind not recognizing it.
There is no “reasoning”. It’s a mix of stubbornness and incompetence. The copyright year is one of the major detail fields going back to their paper grading form and the 1999-2000 is a clear and easy to spot variance from 1999 copyright. They also recognize the 1999-2000 packs already.
Honestly it would be easier to get a layperson to identify and distinguish between base unlimited and base 1999-2000 than base unlimited and shadowless IMO. I could teach someone a foolproof method (check location for copyright date), show them the two variants and they’d discriminate between the two 100% of the time. Shadowless however is a lot less clear and easier to confuse between the two and would need reminding.
I know. I said that with a deer-in-the-headlights manner of tone. As in they wouldn’t know what to do/say if asked. Evidenced by the generic response received by an earlier poster.
Utterly right :3
