The collector's take on Venusaur ex
Is Venusaur ex worth grading?
So is Venusaur ex worth grading? Here's the honest math: a raw copy runs $114, a Grade 9 comes in at $127, and a true PSA 10 jumps to $457, which works out to about 4.0x the raw price. That gap is real money, but gem mint is genuinely hard to land on a special illustration rare like this one, since any whitening on the edges or a soft corner can knock it down to a 9. Factor in grading fees and turnaround time before you send one in, and only submit copies you'd bet on being flawless under a loupe, because a Grade 9 result barely moves the needle over raw.
How rare is Venusaur ex?
Across every grading company combined, 55,877 copies of this card have been graded so far, and of those, 17,074 have come back a PSA 10. That's roughly a third landing at the top grade, which is a decent hit rate for a special illustration rare but still means two out of three graded copies fall short of gem mint. With a population this size, Venusaur ex isn't a needle in a haystack card, it's more that the PSA 10 tier carves out a smaller, meaningfully pricier slice of a large pool.
Where can you pull Venusaur ex?
This is where PackSpy's own data earns its keep, since we track real pulls across pack sites rather than just guessing from price guides. Venusaur ex has been pulled 200 or more times across courtyard, collector-crypt, mnstr, packs, tilt-rips, and lastpack, so it's a card that shows up with some regularity if you're ripping from the right packs. We've seen it land in the Pokémon Starter Pack, Pokémon Ultra (Spicy), Pokémon Pro Pack, Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack, and Pack 3, with the biggest recorded pull on this card hitting $2,300. Worth saying plainly though, opening packs is a gamble and most rips don't come close to covering their cost, so treat any pull as a bonus, not a plan.
