Set-specific tuning for the crystal-type holographic finish unique to Skyridge.
Modern foil treatments and the unique full-bleed shiny GX surface evaluated separately from base holo.
Scarlet & Violet alt arts, Special Illustration Rares, and 151 Charizard — every modern Charizard variant has dedicated handling.
Charizard cards have an unusual quirk: centering on Base Set holographic Charizards is notoriously inconsistent, with even mint-condition cards often grading PSA 8 because of the centering call. The 9-to-10 jump on a Base Set 1st Edition Shadowless Charizard is the most consequential grade jump in the hobby.
SnapGrade measures centering to the pixel and runs surface analysis specifically calibrated for the Base Set holo pattern. The result is a prediction that maps directly to PSA's call — backed by multiple verified Charizard returns in our published log.
