Bulbasaur — collector's take
Is Bulbasaur worth grading?
So is Bulbasaur worth grading? Here's the honest math: a raw copy runs $62, while a PSA 10 sits at $730, which works out to 11.7 times the raw price. That's a meaningful jump, and it's exactly why people send cards in. But gem mint isn't a guarantee, plenty of raw copies come back as a Grade 9 instead of a 10, and Grade 9 only fetches $185. Grading costs money and takes time, and you're trusting centering, edges, and surface to a stranger with a loupe. If your copy already looks clean under a light, it's worth considering. If it's got soft corners or a hazy surface, save yourself the fee and enjoy it raw.
How rare is it?
Right now there are 400 graded copies of Bulbasaur on record, and of those, 123 have earned the PSA 10 label. That means less than a third of everything graded actually reaches gem mint condition, which tells you this card isn't a pushover in high grade even though the population isn't enormous either way. For a set that collectors still actively chase, that kind of split between raw, Grade 9, and PSA 10 pricing makes sense once you see how thin the gem mint slice really is.
Where to pull it
This is where PackSpy's own data comes in handy, because we don't just quote a price guide, we track real pulls across real pack sites. Bulbasaur has been pulled 200 or more times across tilt-rips, collector-crypt, courtyard, mnstr, and packs, so this isn't some ghost card that only trades hands privately. The biggest recorded pull came in at $811, which is a nice reminder that even a $62 raw card can land big when the right grade comes out of the pack. If you're chasing it yourself, keep an eye on Pokemon Premium Pack, Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack, Pokémon Master Pack, Pokémon Starter Pack, and Legendary Pokémon Gacha Pack, all places we've seen it show up. Just remember, opening packs is gambling by nature, and most rips don't cover their cost, so chase it because you love the card, not because you expect a guaranteed win.
