Tap to open
Bayleef has always been one of those Neo Genesis cards that quietly wins people over, the evolved form of Chikorita done in Ken Sugimori's clean, early-Pokemon style. As an Uncommon from the 2000 Neo Genesis set, it isn't the card most people chase for a big score, but if you're searching Bayleef value or wondering how much is Bayleef worth, you're likely holding one and want the real picture, not just a guess.

The collector's take on Bayleef
Is Bayleef worth grading?
Here's the honest math: a raw, ungraded Bayleef sits around $5, while a PSA 10 brings $121, which works out to about 22.0x the raw price. That's a meaningful jump, but a Grade 9 actually lands even higher at $265, which tells you condition and grading company quirks can shuffle the numbers in ways a quick eBay glance won't show you. Grading costs money and takes time, and gem mint is genuinely hard to hit on a card this old, corners and centering on Neo Genesis prints were never perfect to begin with. If your copy already looks sharp in hand, sending it in can make sense, but if it has soft corners or edge wear, you might spend more on grading fees than the bump in value covers.
How rare is Bayleef?
Across every copy that's been submitted for grading, only 783 exist in the population, and of those just 174 have earned a PSA 10. That's a fairly tight top end for a card that wasn't printed as a rare in the first place, and it explains why gem mint copies command real money even though the raw card stays affordable. Scarcity at the top of the grading scale is really what drives the price difference here, not rarity of the card itself.
Where can you pull Bayleef?
We've tracked Bayleef being pulled 152 times across the pack sites we monitor, including tilt-rips, collector-crypt, lastpack, and courtyard, with the biggest recorded pull landing at $79. It's shown up in packs like Pokemon Dime Pack, Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack, noobie, Pokémon Starter Pack, and Starter Pokémon Gacha Pack, so it's not a card you're guaranteed to see, but it does surface. Worth remembering that opening packs is a gamble no matter how you slice it, most rips don't cover their cost, and our pull data is here to show you where this card has actually turned up rather than promise it'll happen for you.
Questions people ask
How much is Bayleef worth?+
A raw, ungraded Bayleef 1st Edition #29 from Neo Genesis is worth about $5. Graded copies climb from there, with a Grade 9 valued at $265 and a PSA 10 at $121, so condition and grading really do change the picture.
Is Bayleef worth grading?+
It depends on the condition of your copy. The PSA 10 price of $121 is roughly 22.0x the raw value of $5, which sounds appealing, but only 174 out of 783 graded copies have hit that top grade, so gem mint isn't a given. If your card already looks clean and sharp, grading can pay off, but it's a real cost with no guaranteed return.
Why is the Bayleef 1st Edition #29 print worth more than the standard one?+
1st edition Neo Genesis cards were printed in a smaller initial run before the standard prints followed, which makes them the earlier, more sought after version for collectors. That extra scarcity and history is what typically separates 1st edition pricing from later prints, even for an Uncommon like Bayleef.
