What is charizarding?

Charizarding

"Charizarding" is a term used primarily in the context of Pokémon card collecting to describe the practice of overvaluing or excessively chasing after Charizard cards, often to the detriment of a balanced or informed collecting strategy.

Here's a breakdown of what it entails:

• Focus on Charizard: The primary characteristic is a disproportionate focus on acquiring Charizard cards, often to the exclusion of other potentially valuable or interesting cards.

• Overvaluation: This focus frequently leads to an inflated perception of Charizard's worth. Individuals engaged in Charizarding may be willing to pay excessively high prices for Charizard cards, even if the card's condition or rarity doesn't necessarily justify the cost.

• Ignoring other factors: Charizarding can cause collectors to overlook other important aspects of the hobby, such as the condition, rarity, or artwork of other Pokémon cards.

• Market Influence: The intense demand driven by charizarding can artificially inflate the market price of Charizard cards, potentially creating a market bubble.

• Potential for disappointment: Because the market is volatile, excessive investment in Charizard cards carries the risk of significant financial loss if the market corrects or interest in Charizard wanes.
