What affects the value of Charizard

Rare sits above the commons, but plenty of copies exist, so condition and the set matter more. The set dates from 2002, so the copies in circulation are limited and well-kept ones are harder to find. The card has at least 24 other printings, and the version, set and language you pick can change the price.
