About the Talonflame card
Numbered 29 of 217 in Silver Tempest, released in November 2022, Talonflame is a Rare, a Stage 2 Fire-type carrying 140 HP.
It evolves from Fletchinder, so Talonflame is a later-stage card that set-builders usually slot into a full evolution run rather than buy alone.

Talonflame carries this Pokédex flavor text: "Talonflame mainly preys upon other bird Pokémon. To intimidate opponents, it sends embers spewing from gaps between its feathers."
What is Talonflame worth?
Talonflame is a non-holo Rare. In Silver Tempest, value concentrates in the holo rares, so a Talonflame trades modestly, though a clean, well-centered 1st Edition copy in PSA 10 is scarcer than the print run suggests and carries a real premium. Check the live price above for the figure by grade.
Print variants and how to spot them
Confirm the print and finish on Talonflame before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Talonflame grades on centering and edges more than surface. The card was played and traded more freely than the holos, so a clean, well-centered Talonflame is worth more than collectors assume.
If you are collecting Talonflame
For Talonflame, check centering by eye, edge whitening on all four sides, and surface under angled light. Submission math on Talonflame rarely works unless the card has independent demand.
