07Why Collectors Want It

  • The lower-numbered of Expedition's two Bulbasaur prints, both shipping in the 2002 e-Card launch set.
  • Expedition's barcode-scanner gimmick crushed sealed sales at the time, so graded population stayed thin.
  • PSA 10 (~$158) trades around ~6× raw, with centering and surface scuffs the usual downgrades on e-Card foil.
  • A natural pickup if you already grabbed #95 — the pair finishes Bulbasaur's Expedition slot.

08Competitive Playability

Tier: None

50-HP Bulbasaur. Sees no meaningful competitive play; collected for artwork and set significance.

10Grading and Population

PSA 10 estimate: Vintage card — high grades (especially 1st Edition / Shadowless where applicable) are scarce and command premiums over raw.

Centering, surface and edge wear are the usual downgrades.

Other graders: PSA leads secondary-market liquidity; BGS and CGC also grade vintage cards.
