Japanese Charizard 137/103 and 25th Anniversary Charizard 001/025 are different anniversary printings with different buying routes. The first belongs to the Classic Collection block in 30th CELEBRATION (M6a). The second belongs to Promo Card Pack 25th ANNIVERSARY edition, identified as S8a-P. Their collector numbers should stay beside their names whenever you compare a photograph or a price.
The practical distinction is the product containing the card. Buying a main S8a booster box is not a promise of the 001/025 Charizard promo. Buying an M6a booster box is not a promise of 137/103. Decide whether you want an identified single, a graded listing or the experience of opening a sealed product.
M6a 137/103 is the 2026 Classic Collection Charizard; S8a-P 001/025 is the 2021 anniversary promo. Our PSA10 Charizard S8a-P 001/025 is listed at ¥86,736 as a backorder offer. The M6a Sealed option (see current price and availability). These are different products, and their prices do not describe identical card or grade conditions.
Start with the Number and Set
The official M6a record identifies リザードン 137/103, illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita. It is a Stage 2 Pokémon with LV.76 and 120 HP. The printed number places it within the anniversary set’s 136–165 reprint block, rather than its regular 001–103 sequence.
| Identifier | 30th CELEBRATION | 25th ANNIVERSARY |
|---|---|---|
| Japanese Charizard number | 137/103 | 001/025 |
| Set or product label | M6a / Classic Collection | S8a-P / Promo Card Pack |
| Product context | Subset within the booster expansion | Separate anniversary promo pack |
| Main reference | Official card database | Official promo gallery and product page |
The official 25th promo gallery describes its Charizard as based on the first 1996 expansion. Our Japanese listing gives S8a-P 001/025. That identifier matters more than a broad title such as “anniversary Charizard” when you are checking the exact product.
Keep language in the comparison as well. This guide concerns Japanese cards. A collector number attached to an English-language listing should not replace the Japanese number shown here, even where an illustration looks familiar.
The 25th Promo Pack Buying Route
The official anniversary product page gives October 22, 2021 as the release date. It describes 25 promo designs and one random card in each Promo Card Pack 25th ANNIVERSARY edition, historically distributed through a purchase campaign. That separate promo-pack structure is the key buying distinction.
The main S8a expansion and the S8a-P promo pack are separate product descriptions. If a listing offers a main booster box, read whether it explicitly includes any promo packs. A box title alone does not establish that inclusion, and a random promo pack does not specify that its card is Charizard.
For an identified graded card, the S8a-P 001/025 PSA 10 listing at ¥86,736 specifies the printing directly. It is a backorder listing: read its sourcing and ordering terms rather than treating the listed price as an immediate dispatch promise.
Our 25th Anniversary Charizard PSA 10 guide covers that printing in more detail. Use it when 001/025 is the collection target; use this comparison to decide whether you mean the 25th promo or the newer M6a card.
The M6a Booster Route
30th CELEBRATION released on September 16, 2026. Its Classic Collection block contains 30 reprints numbered 136–165, within 165 numbered cards plus eight Basic Energy. Charizard is 137/103. The subset name describes a part of M6a; it is not the separate Pokémon Card Game Classic deck product.
Our M6a box listing offers the M6a Sealed option (see current price and availability) while the No Shrink option (see current price and availability). Read the exact option description and current dispatch terms before ordering. Retain the variant label with the price and check current availability.
No verified Charizard-specific pull rate or guaranteed Charizard per M6a box is provided here. A sealed box and an identified single answer different collecting goals. For a request concerning 137/103 itself, sourcing requests go through Quick Order; procurement or timing is not promised by this guide.
Use the M6a card listing for the wider expansion and the 30th Celebration Charizard hub for the reprint’s individual background.
Compare Prices with the Condition Attached
At 19:12 JST on September 18, 2026, SNKRDUNK’s M6a Charizard page displayed a lowest raw asking price of ¥19,800. Its condition-A ask was ¥24,000, condition B was ¥19,800 and condition C was ¥24,999. Keep those marketplace categories beside the amounts.
| Observation | Amount | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| M6a 137/103, lowest raw ask | ¥19,800 | Dated marketplace ask |
| M6a 137/103, condition A | ¥24,000 | Marketplace condition label |
| M6a 137/103, condition B | ¥19,800 | Marketplace condition label |
| M6a 137/103, condition C | ¥24,999 | Marketplace condition label |
| S8a-P 001/025, our PSA 10 offer | ¥86,736 | Different printing and graded product |
A, B and C are marketplace condition labels, not PSA grades. The 001/025 store offer is a PSA 10 backorder listing for another printing. The difference between its amount and a raw 137/103 ask is therefore not a grading premium calculated from matching cards.
The displayed asks are not completed-sale results. They do not show how many people bought either printing or what a future listing might cost. Choose the card identity first, then compare an offer with other offers carrying the same printing and condition information.
Read the Product Photograph as an Identifier
Ask for readable photographs of the whole front and back when choosing an individual card. The set code and collector number should agree with the listing title. For a graded card, a readable grading-label photograph adds the stated card identity and grade to the comparison.
CP6 011/087 is a further Japanese anniversary Charizard, shown above for identification context. Its presence explains why the word “anniversary” and a familiar illustration are not sufficient identifiers. The M6a-versus-CP6 comparison separates that 20th Anniversary card from 137/103.
A studio image represents the printing, not the condition of a specific physical card. Lighting and viewing angle can alter how foil and colour appear in photographs. Use those images to read identity and visible condition; they do not establish rarity, authenticity or a PSA grade.
Our reprint photograph checklist gives a practical sequence for reviewing a listing. For grading context, continue to the Japanese Charizard PSA 10 buying guide rather than inferring a grade from a marketplace condition letter.
Where to Buy
Choose the Japanese S8a-P 001/025 PSA 10 backorder listing at ¥86,736 if you want that identified anniversary promo. Choose the M6a Sealed option (see current price and availability) if you want the booster product, with no specific Charizard outcome promised.
Browse the PSA 10 collection for graded alternatives. For a specific M6a Charizard request, use Quick Order. Store figures were checked September 20, 2026 at 11:41 JST; the linked page carries current pricing, sourcing and dispatch terms.
