Demand was much higher back then. As Pokemon slowly declines further and further into a cult interest among a specific generation, the cost will decline considerably before ever going up. That decline will result in the destruction of many, opening the way for the cost to rise.
I'll take the $20 now, thanks.
Who the fuck would choose $20 over a 1st edition holographic Charizard?
Even a non-holographic 1st edition Charizard is worth $80 on ebay, so even if the card means nothing to you you'd get so much more money!
I would have finally realized my childhood goal if I could get one. I knew a kid back in middle school who had a comically oversized holographic Charizard.

For those saying a Charizard card has lost its worth, so has the dollar.
ThatShawnGuy
You could sell that 1st edition charizard for 1000$
Stud
the charizard is worth 200+

1st edition holographic charizard will be worth way more than $20 in a few years. Child hood investment for sure.
