Analyst thesis. Blaine's Charizard (Gym Challenge, Unlimited holo) at $584.96 in US NM has risen only 12% in 12 months, far less than the market, with 2.4% weekly volatility and 17 sales: a Charizard holo that has not been bid up yet.
Risk: The slow price may reflect weak demand for the Gym series; there is no Cardmarket match to check it, and exits at $500+ can take weeks.
