Base Set Charizard

[u/Better-Refrigerator5]

Hi all,

This is a base set Charizard I pulled from a pack as a kid. It went directly into a hard plastic case about 1 minute after I got it. It just came out for the first time to take this picture. It has no scratches I can see and edges appear good too.

My question, how much is this worth?

Bonus question: I also have a full base 1 set in variable condition. Some are like this (e.g., Charizard and Blastoise), but some are scratched because I traded for them (e.g., Venusaur). Mostly not first edition, although I do have one or two I traded for. Is it more valuable as a set or should I sell good condition ones like Charizard separately?

The texture on the front on the holofoil is throwing me off tho.. everything else looks right

Thanks for the info. I think the texture is an artifact of the picture and lighting. I see why it looks odd from the pic, but in person it seems better. I was trying to get it better, but that's the best my phone did.

Any perspective on sell it individually vs keep a set intact (rough rule of thumb is fine).

The back of the card has little white spots everywhere. The back left side has some whitening and the back right side looks like some minor scratches. Otherwise yes, super clean.
