The product is a 1998 Japanese Pokémon Bandai Pocket Monsters #106 Charizard Prism trading card from the Pocket Monsters Anime Collection. This vintage card features the iconic character Charizard in a Prism variety, graded by Professional Sports Authenticator (PSA) as a 7. Made of card stock, this original non-sport trading card is a sought-after collectible for Pokémon enthusiasts and collectors alike, showcasing the beloved franchise in its early years. Population of only 14 with only 136 in higher grades. This is a Grail of early vintage Grails

Even though the card text is short (“Charizard’s Flamethrower is incredible! It saved Ash from a tight spot”), the specific artwork on card #106 matches a single moment in the series:

• Charizard bursts out of its Poké Ball for the first time since evolving
• It uses Flamethrower in a dramatic, full‑frame shot
• This happens during the Aerodactyl rescue sequence in Episode 46
• Bandai’s Anime Collection numbers in the 100–120 range consistently map to the Fossil Dig / Aerodactyl arc


This is the only episode where Charizard performs a heroic Flamethrower to save Ash before it becomes disobedient in later episodes.
