Bulbasaur #1 value & price

Tap to open
Bulbasaur needs no introduction, it is the very first Pokemon most of us ever learned to love, and this particular version comes from the TCG Classic: Venusaur Deck set as card number one. That starting slot in a classic deck gives it a nostalgic pull that goes beyond raw numbers, which is exactly why so many people search for Bulbasaur value before they buy or sell one. Right now a raw, ungraded copy sits at $18, a nice entry point for a card with this much history behind it.

The collector's take on Bulbasaur
Is Bulbasaur worth grading?
So is it worth grading? Here is the honest math: a raw Bulbasaur sits at $18, a Grade 9 comes in at $22, and a true PSA 10 jumps up to $76, which works out to about 4.2 times the raw price. That gap looks tempting, but gem mint is called gem mint for a reason, hitting a perfect 10 is genuinely hard even on a clean-looking card, and grading fees plus shipping and the wait time eat into your potential profit. If you already own a sharp copy with no whitening, no print lines, and centered edges, it can be worth the shot. If you are buying loose copies hoping to grade them for profit, treat it like a calculated gamble rather than a sure thing.
How rare is Bulbasaur?
There is no official population figure to lean on here, so the honest answer is that we judge Bulbasaur's scarcity by its print run and place in the set rather than a hard number. As card number one in the TCG Classic: Venusaur Deck, it was made to be accessible, not a chase card, which lines up with that modest $18 raw price. The real scarcity shows up higher on the grading scale, since clean Grade 9s and true PSA 10s are always a smaller slice of whatever copies exist, and that gap between common raw supply and rare gem mint condition is what pushes the PSA 10 price up to $76.
Where can you pull Bulbasaur?
This is where PackSpy's own data comes in handy, since we track real pulls across pack sites rather than relying on guesswork. Bulbasaur has been pulled 200 or more times across tilt-rips, courtyard, collector-crypt, and mnstr, showing up in packs like the Pokemon Dime Pack, Pokemon Pro Pack, Pokemon Dollar Pack, Rookie Pack, and Legendary Pokemon Gacha Pack. The biggest recorded pull on this card hit $647, which is a good reminder that pack values swing wildly depending on what else lands in that same rip. Worth saying plainly, opening packs is a gamble and most rips do not beat what you paid, so treat any big number like that $647 pull as the exception, not the expectation.
Questions people ask
How much is Bulbasaur worth?+
A raw, ungraded Bulbasaur from the TCG Classic: Venusaur Deck is worth $18 right now. Grading it changes the number quite a bit, a Grade 9 sits at $22 and a PSA 10 climbs to $76, so condition really does drive the value here.
Is Bulbasaur worth grading?+
It can be, since a PSA 10 is worth 4.2 times the raw price, jumping from $18 up to $76. Just go in with your eyes open, gem mint copies are genuinely tough to pull off, and grading fees and time are a real cost even when the card comes back lower than a 10.
How much is a PSA 10 Bulbasaur worth?+
A PSA 10, gem mint Bulbasaur is currently valued at $76, well above the $18 raw price and the $22 Grade 9 price. That premium reflects just how hard it is to land a flawless copy, even on a card that was never especially rare to begin with.
