The Kairiki Lizardon, known as Charizard outside Japan, represents a pinnacle of Pokémon trading card collectibles, originally released on October 20, 1996, as part of the first expansion pack.

This particular First Edition "Old Back, No Mark" variant is exceptionally rare, especially graded at PSA8, making it highly sought after by collectors who value its historical significance within the franchise, particularly during Pokémon's 30th anniversary celebrations.

Produced in Japan, where early runs are often better preserved, this card’s high collectability is reinforced by the character's longstanding popularity in both the trading card game and anime series.

Pricing in this auction, set at ¥4,500,000, aligns with the escalating demand for pristine, early print collectibles in the Japanese market.
