Dracaufeu

Dracaufeu, Firecracker is one of the most sought-after and iconic Pokémon in the franchise, and its cards have left a significant mark on the history of collectible card games. Its illustration has changed very little over the years, and it is automatically appreciated by all collectors who open packs and are fortunate enough to find it. Since the early days of Pokémon, the price of cards featuring the Fire-type Pokémon has continued to rise. This phenomenon is observed both in the United States and in France, for two reasons: the appeal of fans to this Pokémon and some collectors who have become more like investors than enthusiasts.

When the game was released in France in 1999, Charizard was already highly sought after on playgrounds, and it featured on the early game boxes alongside Pikachu. Among all Pokémon, Charizard was already the best-selling card because it was simply one of the first two cards to have a primary attack with 120 hit points, which appealed to children. These children have now entered the workforce, and they have the means to afford what they may not have been able to twenty years ago. Nostalgia comes at a price, especially when it comes to owning a childhood treasure.
