Leonhart freaks out after pulling vintage $30,000 Charizard Pokemon card

YouTuber Leonhart was stunned after pulling a rare Charizard Pokemon card worth $30,000. The TCG collector got the vintage collectible after scoring another Charizard worth $15,000 in the same opening. 

Originally released in 2003, the Pokemon Trading Card Game expansion Skyridge was the last set published by Wizards of the Coast. Due to the hobby’s waning popularity at the time, it’s one of the most under-printed products of the TCG, making them insanely rare.

The Pokemon community was floored when YouTuber Lee ‘Leonhart‘ Steinfeld not only managed to get his hands on the highly coveted Pokemon card packs, but also pulled the expansion’s rarest collectible Crystal Charizard worth thousands of dollars.
