History

Charizard, known in Korean as 리자몽, is the final evolution of Charmander and one of the most iconic Pokémon in the franchise. In the trading card game, Charizard has long been a flagship character because of its popularity, competitive strength, and consistent inclusion in high-profile sets and chase cards.

First Printed: This specific card was first released in 2023 in the Korean-language release of Ruler of the Black Flame, the Scarlet & Violet era expansion corresponding to Japanese SV3. The card number 066/108 is the regular Double Rare printing of Charizard ex in that set.

• In the Korean card list for Ruler of the Black Flame, 066/108 is identified as 리자몽 ex and classified as a Double Rare (RR) card.
• The set released in South Korea on 25 August 2023, with a pre-release date of 18 August 2023.
• Charizard ex from this set is a Darkness-type Stage 2 Pokémon ex with 330 HP and the Infernal Reign Ability in the Japanese/English-equivalent printings, making it one of the key competitive and collectible cards of the set.

Collector's Notes

Condition Tips: Check for edge whitening, corner wear, surface scratches in the holo finish, print lines, centering, and any pressure marks from pack handling or grading submission sleeves. Full-art-style holo cards are especially prone to visible surface scuffs and back whitening.

Storage: Store in a penny sleeve and semi-rigid holder or top loader, keep away from humidity and direct light, and use rigid protection if sending for grading. Maintain stable temperature and avoid repeated handling without gloves or clean hands.

Authenticity: Verify crisp text, correct Korean fonts, proper holo pattern alignment, and clean edges. Counterfeits often show muddy print quality, incorrect color saturation, poor centering, or inconsistent holo sheen. Compare the card number 066/108, set symbol, and Korean-language typography against a known authentic copy.

Notable Sales

• Near-mint Japanese 066/108 copies have sold around US$11.50 in late 2025 comparable market tracking.
• Korean marketplace listings have shown raw copies around 7,000 KRW, indicating broad availability in lower price tiers.

Investment Outlook

Charizard demand is consistently strong, but this is the regular Double Rare print rather than a chase alt-art or secret rare. That keeps upside moderate, with value supported by character popularity more than scarcity.

Rarity Analysis

• It is a Charizard card, which boosts collector demand.
• It is a standard set rare rather than an ultra-premium chase card, so supply is relatively broad.
• Korean-language copies appeal to language-set collectors but generally have less global premium than Japanese or English premium variants.

Market Forecast

Demand should remain steady because Charizard remains one of the most collected Pokémon cards, but abundant supply and non-secret rarity limit dramatic appreciation.

• Charizard popularity
• High print availability

Short-term (3-6mo): Likely to remain stable with small fluctuations based on grading demand and condition-sensitive sales.

Long-term (1-3yr): Modest appreciation is possible over 1-3 years, especially for mint or graded Korean copies, but major gains are more likely for scarcer Charizard variants.
