"Blaine's Charizard" was included in the fourth expansion pack, "Gym Expansion 2: Challenge from the Darkness," released in 1999. It is now out of print, and due to limited availability on the market, it is highly valued. Charizard has been a popular character since the original Pokémon generation and has always had a large fan base. As a result, Charizard cards, regardless of type, tend to be highly sought after by collectors. It appears as the Pokémon of Gym Leader "Blaine" and its unique design and background setting, which differ from regular Pokémon cards, also attract the attention of collectors. For these reasons, "Blaine's Charizard" is highly sought after among Pokémon card collectors and is one of the most expensive cards. -------------------------------------- Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost.
