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.

I used to have a childhood like you, but then I took an arrow the knee.

I wouldn't want to frame a $20 bill.

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+
Simon
1st edition holographic charizard will be worth way more than $20 in a few years. Child hood investment for sure.
JXT
I had no concept of the card's value. Also, pokemon was popular far after my childhood was over.

I don't care about how much it costs.... I just care that it's a freaking HOLOGRAPHIC CHARIZARD card... I mean how easy is it to get $20?
austin
the first addition charizard would be worth more if you sold it.
Walker Landgraf
the charizards probably worth more than 20$
drex64

Pontus Petersson

Jake
I would just sell it on eBay. I checked some of the prices and it's insane how much that card is going for.
