One of the most ridiculous Pokemon collectibles of all time is fetching bids in the thousands after first going viral years ago when it was discovered in a pack of Flamin’ Hot Cheetos.

Hey kids, do you like Charizard? Of course you do. Well, get a load of this: Back in 2024, 1st and Goal Collectibles in Georgia revealed they had been doing some cleaning when they uncovered their “Cheetozard” in the back.

The Cheetozard is literally just a Cheeto shaped like a Charizard, but the orange snack was so cool that they decided to preserve it and add a Pokemon card frame.

Eventually, as per Polygon, Arena Club acquired the Flamin’ Hot Cheeto after seeing how a Pikachu-shaped Cheeto sold for $26,000. They then included it as a mystery card pack prize where one lucky buyer ended up getting their hands on the item – which probably turned their fingers orange.

Anyway, on February 10, the Cheetozard resurfaced, this time on the Goldin auction block – and fans are bidding big bucks for the non-official piece of Pokemon history.

The auction is set to end on March 1, but it’s already generated some significant bids from Pokemon fans.

On February 20, the Cheeto’s top bid eclipsed the $1,000 mark and then jumped all the way to $1,500, with a few more bids coming after.

At the time of writing, the highest bid is a whopping $2,100, which is a lot to pay for a single Cheeto, even with inflation.

This isn’t even the highest-selling Cheeto. Back in 2017, a Harambe-shaped one made headlines after hitting $100,000 on eBay.

We’ll have to see how much the Cheetozard ends up finally selling for and it ends up beating out some of the most expensive Pokemon cards in existence.

For those with the money (or those willing to go in debt), WWE star Logan Paul also revealed he wants to sell his ultra rare Pikachu Illustrator Pokemon card – a 1/39 collectible worth $5M.
