Bulbasaur #1 comes from the 2019 Detective Pikachu set, a common card illustrated by MPC Film that plenty of collectors pick up simply because it's Bulbasaur, one of the most recognizable faces in the whole hobby. It won't win any rarity contests on paper, but that hasn't stopped people from searching Bulbasaur value and Bulbasaur price pretty regularly. Right now the raw, ungraded card sits at $1, which is exactly where you'd expect a common from this set to land.

The collector's take on Bulbasaur
Is Bulbasaur worth grading?
Here's where things get interesting: a PSA 10 Bulbasaur is worth $450, which works out to 378.2x the raw price, and a Grade 9 actually sits even higher at $772. That's a real gap between ungraded and graded copies, but it comes with a catch. Grading costs money and takes time, and there's no guarantee your card comes back gem mint, corners and edges on these older commons can be pickier than you'd think under a grader's light. If you've got a raw copy sitting in a binder that looks sharp in all four corners, it might be worth the gamble, but go in knowing grading is a bet, not a sure thing.
How rare is Bulbasaur?
There are 1,768 total graded copies of Bulbasaur on record, and of those, 483 have come back as PSA 10. That's a fairly healthy slice landing in gem mint, which tells you this card isn't brutally hard to find in top condition compared to some tougher pulls out there. Still, every graded copy adds to a finite population, and that number only grows from here, so where Bulbasaur sits today isn't necessarily where it'll sit in a year.
Where can you pull Bulbasaur?
This is where PackSpy actually earns its keep, because we track real pulls across pack sites rather than just guessing. Bulbasaur has been pulled 200 or more times across collector-crypt, tilt-rips, mnstr, and courtyard, with the biggest recorded pull landing at $647. We've seen it turn up in packs like the Legendary Pokémon Gacha Pack, Rookie Pack, Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack, Pokemon Dime Pack, and Pack 5. It's worth remembering that opening packs is gambling dressed up as fun, most rips don't beat what you paid, but if Bulbasaur is the one you're chasing, those are the pack names where our data says it's actually shown up.
