The collector's take on Bulbasaur
Is Bulbasaur worth grading?
So is Bulbasaur worth grading? A raw copy runs about $3, a Grade 9 sits at $13, and a PSA 10 sits at $46, which works out to 15.0x the raw price. That is a real jump, and it is the kind of multiple that gets collectors excited. But gem mint is called gem mint for a reason: centering, edges and surface all have to line up, and plenty of copies come back as a 9 instead of that coveted 10. Grading fees eat into your margin no matter the outcome, so before you send one in, think honestly about the condition of your copy. If it already shows wear, the juice usually is not worth the squeeze at this price point. If it looks sharp in hand, the upside is there.
How rare is Bulbasaur?
We do not have official population figures to point to for this one, but the Japanese Old Maid set itself is a niche release, not a mainline booster set, which naturally limits how many copies are floating around compared to something like a modern base set. That kind of print run tends to keep raw supply modest and gem mint copies genuinely scarce, since fewer people are cracking and grading these compared to flagship sets. Scarcity like this is part of why the PSA 10 price sits so far above the raw price. It is a smaller pond, but the fish that swim to the top still earn their premium.
Where can you pull Bulbasaur?
This is where PackSpy actually earns its keep, because we track real pulls across pack sites rather than guessing. Bulbasaur has been pulled 200 or more times across collector-crypt, tilt-rips, courtyard and mnstr, so it is far from a mystery card, it shows up with real frequency. The biggest recorded pull we have logged came in at $647, which shows what happens when a sharp copy lands in the right hands. If you are chasing one yourself, keep an eye on packs like the Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack, Pokemon Dollar Pack, Pokémon Starter Pack, Wildcard Basic Pack and Pokemon Dime Pack, all of which have produced this pull. Just remember, opening packs is a gamble, and most rips do not beat what you paid for them, Bulbasaur included.
