EX Crystal Guardians, released in 2006 toward the end of the EX Series, introduced the Delta Species mechanic — Pokémon reimagined with an alternate typing and energy requirement from their standard printing, marked by the distinctive δ symbol beside their name. This Charizard’s Delta Species printing carries Lightning and Fighting typing rather than its usual Fire typing, making it a genuinely distinct card from a standard Charizard rather than simply a reprint.

As a stamped reverse holo, this card carries the EX Crystal Guardians set’s own logo stamp within the holofoil pattern, distinguishing it from the standard reverse holo of the same card and marking it as part of a scarcer, recognised EX-series subset. Combined with the limited print run of the era and Charizard’s enduring nostalgia value, stamped EX-era Charizards are increasingly difficult to source in high grade.

This card is professionally graded PSA 8 (NM-MT) and sealed in its original tamper-evident PSA holder, exactly as pictured. Certification number 47938648 is verifiable directly with PSA.

RareFind rates this as a highly collectable EX-era Charizard. The Crystal Guardians set stamp, limited print run and strong nostalgia make these stamped reverse holos far scarcer than their standard counterparts, and EX-era stamped Charizards are increasingly difficult to source in high grade. Featuring one of the hobby’s most desirable Pokémon in its distinctive Delta Species printing, it remains highly sought after by serious collectors of premium mid-2000s Pokémon cards. A genuine centrepiece for any EX-era Charizard collection.
