Is a Unlimited Base Charizard a PSA 10?

About the Unlimited Base Charizard

The 1999 Pokémon Base Set Charizard Unlimited #4/102 is a 1999 Pokémon card from the vintage era. Unlimited printings have wider centering tolerances but still suffer holo scratching.

What graders look for

Every grading company — PSA, BGS, SGC, and CGC — uses the same four sub-scores: centering, corners, edges, and surface. On this card specifically, watch for:

• Holo scratches
• Centering
• Back whitening
• Corner softness

Pro tip

Angle under light for holo scratches. If the holo pattern shows any line damage, 9 is the ceiling.

Should you send it in?

Before paying grading fees, scan the card with ID Grader to get an instant AI pre-grade across all four sub-scores. If the pre-grade comes back a confident 9.5 or 10, you probably have a submission candidate. If it comes back an 8 with any sub-score below a 9, you likely do better selling the card raw.
