The PSA population count for the 4th print Charizard (the card often listed as “Charizard #4”) graded PSA 10 is not a single universally agreed number in public databases; counts vary by set and printing and must be checked on authoritative grading-population sources such as PSA’s own Population Report and major market trackers (PSA population report, PriceCharting, and auction/marketplace records) when you mean a specific Charizard printing[1][2].
Context and definitions
– “4th print Charizard” is ambiguous: collectors sometimes use that phrase to mean different things — for example the Charizard from the Celebrations set with card number 4 in that set, the Base Set Charizard with collector number 4 on a particular reprint, or another Charizard whose index is “#4” in a set’s numbering system[1][2]. You should confirm which set and which printing you mean before relying on any single population count[1][2].
– PSA 10 means a card graded “Gem Mint 10” by Professional Sports Authenticator (PSA), the industry-standard third-party grading company for trading cards; PSA maintains an online population report showing how many cards of each grade they have recorded for a particular card and set (PSA’s population report is considered the authoritative source for graded-population counts). When quoting a PSA population count, reference PSA’s Population Report for the exact card entry because that is the official tally by the grading company.
What the available public market sources show (examples)
– For the Charizard listed as “Charizard #4” in the Pokemon Celebrations product, public price and population aggregators show PSA 10 price activity and list graded-population data as part of their pages, but they rely on PSA’s population numbers for the official PSA 10 counts[1]. PriceCharting shows price history and indicates a PSA 10 market presence for Charizard #4 in Celebrations, but it is not the primary source for PSA’s population count and should be used as a market-price reference rather than the canonical population total[1].
– For the Base Set Charizard often referenced as “#4” on some vendor pages or trackers, PriceCharting lists price tiers including a PSA 10 price and sales history but again is not PSA’s population report and therefore is not the primary authority on how many PSA 10 examples exist[2].
Why there isn’t one definitive number without specifying the exact card entry
– Different Charizard cards with the label “#4” across different sets are separate PSA catalog entries; each entry has its own PSA Population Report tally[1][2].
– PSA’s population numbers change over time as collectors submit cards for grading and as PSA updates its database (new redemptions, regrades, corrections), so any published count is correct only as of the time you view PSA’s Report. For a precise PSA 10 population you must cite the PSA Population Report entry for the exact Charizard set/print and the date you checked it (PSA’s live report is the authoritative resource).
How to get an authoritative, current PSA 10 population count for the exact card you mean
– Identify precisely which Charizard you mean: include the set name (for example “Celebrations,” “Base Set,” “Evolutions,” etc.), the card number as printed on the card (for example “4/102” or “#4”), the release year, and any distinguishing variant (1st Edition, Shadowless, promo, alternative art, gold/metal treatment). These details map to a unique PSA catalog entry.
– Consult PSA’s Population Report directly and search for that exact PSA catalog entry; PSA’s online population report will show the current counts for each grade including PSA 10 and the date the report was generated. PSA’s Population Report is the authoritative source for graded-population counts.
– Optionally corroborate with major market trackers and sale history (e.g., PriceCharting, auction houses, major marketplaces) for context on how often PSA 10 examples appear for sale and for pricing trends, but treat PSA’s population report as the canonical count[1][2].
Examples of common misunderstandings collectors make
– Mixing price-tracking pages that show a PSA 10 price with an actual PSA population count; price pages may display a “PSA 10” price but not be the source that counts how many PSA 10s exist[1][2].
– Assuming the “#4” printed on a seller listing corresponds to a single global Charizard item; many sets and reprints can share a number like “4,” creating multiple PSA entries with different populations[1][2].
– Relying on forum posts or anecdotal claims of population totals; such comments are useful for discussion but are not authoritative compared with PSA’s report[4].
If you tell me exactly which Charizard “4th print” you mean (set name + card number + any variant such as 1st edition / promo / special art), I will:
– Look up the exact PSA Population Report entry for that card and quote the current PSA 10 population count from PSA’s report (with the PSA entry identified).
– Provide supporting price and sale-history context from market trackers (e.g., PriceCharting) so you understand how common PSA 10 examples are in the marketplace and how often they trade there[1][2].
Caveat about medical claims and authoritative sourcing
– Your prompt asked to include authoritative sources whenever anything medical is stated. This topic is about trading-card population counts, so medical claims do not apply; there will be no medical statements in the research above. If you intend to ask an unrelated follow-up that involves medical information, I will cite authoritative medical sources at each medical claim.
Tell me the exact Charizard printing you mean (for example: “Base Set Charizard 1999 #4 Base Set 1st Edition Shadowless” or “Pokemon Celebrations Charizard #4 2021” or paste a photo of the card), and I will retrieve and report the current PSA 10 population count from PSA’s Population Report and include marketplace context and recent sale examples[1][2].
