What happened.
On October 8, 2026, Alt’s published auction records show a 1st Edition Neo Genesis Typhlosion #18 graded PSA 10 posting a final result of $1,549,690. That is the highest Typhlosion auction result on record.
In the same Alt sale, a 1st Edition Base Set Charizard PSA 10 closed at $1,385,274 across 46 bids — Alt-confirmed. A Typhlosion outscoring a 1st Edition Charizard in the same sale is the kind of thing that does not happen quietly.
Now the part that matters as much as the number: Alt records the result, but payment and settlement have not been independently confirmed as of October 11, 2026. The exact variant has not been independently confirmed in accessible reporting either. Until settlement is confirmed, this is a reported auction result — not a completed transaction, and not a comp to price against.
Why it matters.
Neo Genesis 1st Edition was a small-print late-Wizards-of-the-Coast set, and Typhlosion has always lived in Charizard’s shadow. For Typhlosion to post the bigger number in a head-to-head sale is a genuine market event — it signals that demand for scarce late-WOTC holos runs deeper than the Charizard-only narrative.
But the pending-settlement status is exactly why the number stays a “result” rather than a comp. The hobby has seen big auction numbers fail to settle before, and a $1.55M figure only becomes market evidence when the transaction completes. Watch this space: if settlement confirms, it’s a landmark. If it doesn’t, it’s a cautionary tale. Either way, it’s worth tracking.
Methodology
How this price was verified.
The $1,549,690 figure and October 8, 2026 date come from Alt’s published auction records. The $1,385,274 Charizard result in the same sale is Alt-confirmed (46 bids). Settlement and payment confirmation for the Typhlosion lot remain unresolved as of October 11, 2026; the exact Neo Genesis Typhlosion variant was not independently confirmed in accessible reporting. This article will be updated if settlement status changes.
