Value drivers

What makes Blaziken valuable

  • The Midori Harada artwork gives Blaziken appeal beyond pure playability.
  • Its Fire typing means Blaziken has a dual collector-and-player audience.
  • Priced at $185.00 with thin supply, Blaziken sells readily and clean copies command a premium.
  • Blaziken is a Rare, so condition and the specific print variant matter more than raw rarity.
  • Classic-era cards like Blaziken (2005) are out of print, so condition drives differentiation.
Buying notes

Buying & selling Blaziken

  • Track the Cardmarket 7- and 30-day averages (€48.18 and €43.29) to time entries and exits.
  • Check sold listings rather than asking prices — the Reverse Holofoil market of $185.00 reflects actual transactions on TCGplayer.
  • Because it is a Pokémon card, Blaziken has both collector and player demand — a broader buyer pool than purely collectible cards.
  • If you are buying to resell, model marketplace fees first — the $185.00 value is pre-fee, and the seller-fee calculator shows the net take-home per platform.
  • Emerald was released in 2005; sealed product from this era is limited, so raw singles appreciate with collector demand.
