Why this card matters
The 2020 Champion's Path Charizard VMAX (card #074/073) is one of the most iconic and sought-after Pokémon cards of the era. It is a Secret Rare Rainbow card that exceeds the set's printed number, making it a short print. Charizard cards consistently command premium prices regardless of set, and this one in particular drove massive collector demand upon release. The Champion's Path set was released in booster bundles tied to specific products, limiting pack availability and driving scarcity.

Population Context
The Charizard VMAX Rainbow Rare (#074/073) is one of the most submitted Pokémon cards to PSA in history. PSA 10 populations are in the tens of thousands, yet demand still outpaces supply. Centering and surface issues make true PSA 10s competitive to achieve — many submissions grade out at PSA 9. BGS 9.5 and BGS 10 Black Labels exist but are extremely rare. The Full Art Charizard V (#073/073) is similarly heavily graded. Overall, this is a very commonly graded card with high population but sustained demand.
Collector Notes
Champion's Path had notoriously inconsistent print quality — look carefully at corners, edges, and surface scratches on the holofoil before buying raw. Centering is a major issue; off-center copies are common and will grade PSA 8 or lower. The Rainbow Rare foil surface is prone to scratching and scuffing even in pack-fresh condition. When buying graded, verify the card number on the slab matches #074/073 for the VMAX Rainbow or #073/073 for the Full Art V. Beware of resealed or tampered packs — this set was a primary target for pack searching due to its weighted distribution. The set was only available in specific Pokémon Center products and select retail bundles, which added to its scarcity.
