Like most Pokmon cards, the value of Charizard V depends on a few consistent factors: its rarity, the printing and finish (regular or foil), its physical condition, and the set it was printed in (SWSH Black Star Promos)
In fact, it has one of the highest creature counts of all of my decks, which wasnt where I expected to be when I first started
Decks pop off sooner and sooner with every passing year, and while part of that is due to the consistency and redundancy afforded to many archetypes through the sheer quantity of new cards being printed, a lot of that is tied to the Command Zone, and what is put inside of it
The flippers make their money back with the promo and then still sell the Booster Packs separately for well above market value
This prize is to have your likeness put onto a Magic card, and either design it yourself (as is the case with the Invitational cards) or have some input on an already drafted design, which is what happens with the Player Spotlight Cards for the winners of Worlds
