Just narrowly missing out on the top 4 is our next Special Illustration Rare, Pidgeot. As a fondly remembered Pokémon from Gen 1, Pidgeot has well earned its place amongst the small handful of Special Illustration cards in this set, coming in at number 225 out of 230 in the setlist. What do you guys think about this product? Those cards are just amazing. As you guys may know, these cards may be a part of the final Sword and Shield Set in Japan, VSTAR Universe. So I think there will be many more Alternate Art cards that we can get in the near future. I can’t wait!

Finally, we come to the most expensive and sought-after card in Obsidian Flames: the Special Illustration Rare variant of Charizard EX. To those with even a passing interest or knowledge in Pokémon, this will be an unsurprising outcome as cards featuring the world’s favourite Pokémon usually ascend to the zenith of popularity (such as the Shiny Charizard from Shining Fates). Charizard EX’s Alt Art is number 223 in the Obsidian Flames card list. Here are the 10 most expensive cards in the Pokémon TCG Scarlet and Violet Obisidian Flames expansion. Following on from the Paldea Evolved set, the Scarlet and Violet era of the Pokémon TCG has received another expansion in the form of Obsidian Flames. This is the third set to make its way to the Pokémon SV TCG and there are a lot of interesting things about this set. For one, it is the first set to really experiment with the Tera Pokémon, giving fan favourites like Tyranitar a completely new typing to mix up both the illustrations and gameplay of the TCG. The other main thing about this set is that it is the first Scarlet and Violet set to include the world’s most beloved Pokémon, Charizard, which makes it far more desirable.In second place we have… another Charizard. This time, it’s the special golden Hyper Rare variant of Charizard EX. This card belongs to the small cloister of golden cards, of which Obsidian Flames only has 3 available (1 Pokémon, 1 Stadium and 1 Energy) making it particularly rare. Hyper Rare Charizard EX is one of the very last cards in the set, sitting at number 228 out of 230 cards.

Illustrated beautifully by Akira Egawa, Charizard’s Alt Art displays the Pokémon’s majesty and ferocity in equal measure. This card is also one of the best adaptations of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet’s Terastilised phenomenon, with a gorgeous crystalised look across the entire card which makes it simultaneously seem both muted and explosive. Truly, this is an excellent card for any collector, Charizard fanboy or not.
