This listing describes a 2021 Celebrations Ultra-Premium Collection metal Charizard #4 graded PSA 10 Gem Mint, with Mitsuhiro Arita kanji/English autograph and a Charizard sketch on the holder, not the card. The metal card and marked holder create a distinct display item.

Two parts of the listed display item

The listing describes a 2021 Celebrations Ultra-Premium Collection metal Charizard #4 in a PSA 10 holder, with Mitsuhiro Arita kanji and English autograph plus a Charizard sketch on the holder. The marks are described as being on the plastic, not on the card. This is a graded metal-card listing, not one of the 2026 30th Celebration sealed boxes. Confirm the card identity, the position of the holder marks and the exact photos before using another Celebrations product as a comparison.

Card grading is not holder-autograph authentication

PSA 10 Gem Mint refers to the card’s assigned grade. That label alone does not authenticate an autograph or sketch subsequently placed on the holder. Evaluate the graded card and the documentation for the holder marks separately. We do not infer an authenticated autograph from the card grade, and a photograph of a signature is not itself a provenance chain. If autograph evidence matters to your purchase, ask what supporting material exists and what it actually covers before you decide; do not assume a card certification lookup answers that different question.

Photos and provenance for a metal-card display

Contact us for supporting provenance and additional photographs of the front, back and marked holder. Ask for an unobstructed label image and close-ups showing where the autograph and sketch sit on the plastic. These help you understand the presentation and what supporting material accompanies the listing. For a display centered on Charizard across different formats, compare the metal card with a vintage paper copy. Shadowless and Japanese Basic offer different years, languages and condition choices; decide whether the metal finish and marked holder are the features you most want to display.

Check the exact photographs and certification

Read the certification number from this listing’s own label and compare the card name, number and grade with the grader’s record. A valid matching online record is useful, but by itself does not prove that a seller’s photographed slab is genuine. Review front and back images, holder seams and label details together. If text is unreadable or an angle hides a concern, request extra photographs or clarification before purchasing.

Use the official certification lookup and grading standards for the company on this slab.

Frequently asked questions

Are the autograph and sketch on the card?

The listing describes the kanji/English autograph and sketch on the holder, not on the metal card. Review the exact photos to understand their placement.

Does PSA 10 authenticate the holder autograph?

No. The PSA card grade alone does not authenticate a later autograph or sketch on the holder. Request supporting provenance and additional photos through our contact page before buying.
