07Why Collectors Want It

• POP Series 2 was a sanctioned-play-only promo set, distributed at organized-play events rather than through sealed product.
• Only 17 cards in the set — a tight checklist that makes the Bulbasaur-line slots disproportionately important for line collectors.
• PSA 10 (~$110) carries a steady ~5× lift over raw; POP foil printing and thin-paper edges are the usual downgrades.
• A natural pairing if you've already grabbed the Bulbasaur POP Series 2 entry — both belong in a Kanto-line POP master set.

08Competitive Playability

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.
