06Current Market Value

07Why Collectors Want It

• Distributed through a limited SWSH-era promo channel, so sealed supply is bounded and PSA 10 population reports stay genuinely thin.
• Raw ~$49 vs. PSA 10 ~$1,538 — a ~31× lift is one of the biggest grading premiums on any Bulbasaur, putting it near the top of the modern chase list.
• Promo cards tend to ship with centering and edge wear pulled out-of-pack, so condition-from-pack drives the gem-mint price.
• A cornerstone pickup for any serious Bulbasaur master set built around the SWSH-era distribution channels.

10Grading and Population

PSA 10 estimate: Mid-tier rarity — graded mostly by master-set builders; populations modest.

Holo cards downgrade on scratches; raw copies are common.

Other graders: PSA dominates; some BGS/CGC volume.
