The Charizard ex 151 #183 price is sitting in a pretty sane lane for a modern Charizard: roughly the low-to-mid $40s for an English Near Mint raw copy as of July 20, 2026. That is not cheap cardboard, but it is nowhere near the price of the #199/165 special illustration rare. Same Pokémon, same set, completely different card. Mixing them is how bad headlines happen.
This article covers the English Charizard ex ultra rare from Scarlet & Violet—151, collector number 183/165, holofoil, raw and ungraded in Near Mint condition. It does not cover #006/165, #199/165, Japanese copies, or graded slabs. Keep those lanes separate or the price comparison is toast.
This Card Lives in the Mid-$40s, Not Fantasyland
TCGplayer's current search result showed 226 listings starting at $39.99 with a $45.20 market price when checked. PriceCharting's current search data put the ungraded value at about $42.69. Two feeds, slightly different methods, same basic neighborhood.

The March Premium Has Cooled Off
A March community listing referenced $53.75, while a July 4 listing marked a Near Mint copy sold at $45. Those are not controlled exchange data, so I would not pretend they prove a perfect trend. They do support the broader current feeds showing the card around the mid-$40s instead of the low-$50s.
The move is modest, not a crash. Charizard cards attract dramatic language because dramatic language gets clicks. A roughly ten-dollar shift on a card in this range matters, but it does not need sirens. The honest read is that the earlier premium softened and current data clustered lower.
#183 Is Not the Big SIR, and That Is Fine
The #183 ultra rare uses a different rarity and artwork treatment from the #199 special illustration rare. TCGplayer's same search page showed #199 near $399 at the time of checking. That giant gap is exactly why the collector number belongs in every title, table, and comparison.
I like #183 because it delivers full-art Charizard energy without demanding #199 money. That is an opinion about the collecting experience, not a prediction. The market can move, but nobody needs to invent an investment thesis to enjoy a card that looks good in a binder or display.
Clean Copies Win, Same as Always
Near Mint is still a range. Check front and back centering, edge whitening, corners, foil scratches, print lines, and dents. A clean copy can reasonably sit above an average market number. A rough copy should sit below it. Paying the same price for both because the listing says “NM” is not it.
If grading is the goal, compare the raw copy with realistic graded outcomes after fees, shipping, and the chance of a lower grade. Do not use the PSA 10 price as if the card is already a ten. The plastic case is not the only difference; the grade uncertainty is the entire game.
The Product Match Is Exact This Time
Gem Mint Sleeve currently has a magnetic card holder made for Charizard ex 151 #183/165. This is a genuinely matching product, not another Charizard shoved into the article because the names look close.
My take: the English raw Near Mint #183 belongs around the low-to-mid $40s based on current feeds, with condition deciding the exact number. The March premium looks softer, but the card is not collapsing. Watch several completed sales instead of one dramatic listing, because thin daily data can make a normal move look way louder than it is. It is just living in reality now, which is honestly refreshing for a Charizard.
Card prices move fast. This is market commentary, not financial advice. Market snapshot retrieved July 20, 2026; verify current sold listings and the exact card condition before buying or selling.
