Charizard VSTAR 174/172

This is Charizard VSTAR from Brilliant Stars, the Rainbow rare numbered 174/172. With a collector number (174) higher than the set size (172), this card sits in the secret rare range, printed beyond the main checklist. Brilliant Stars was the set that introduced the VSTAR mechanic, so a Charizard VSTAR from it carries extra significance for collectors.

The VSTAR mechanic builds on the V line, marking a powerful Pokemon with high HP and a one per game VSTAR Power. The Rainbow treatment applies a textured multicoloured finish over the artwork, a look reserved for the top end of the set. Combine that finish with Charizard, one of the most collected Pokemon of all, and you have a card that stays firmly on want lists.

For Charizard collectors and anyone chasing the secret rares of Brilliant Stars, this Rainbow VSTAR is a standout.
