Market outlook

Stable Outlook 8/10

Sustained collector interest in 151 SIRs with steady graded sales around $500-550, supported by set popularity but tempered by modern set supply.

Next months. Stable with minor fluctuations; expect $500+ for graded 10 in next 3-6 months.

Long term. Rising potential over 1-3 years as 151 set ages into modern vintage status.

History

Venusaur is the final evolution of Bulbasaur, the Grass-type Pokémon and one of the original 151 from Generation 1. As a Venusaur ex card, it represents a powerful ex variant with enhanced abilities like Tranquil Flower, emphasizing its role as a formidable stage 2 Grass Pokémon in competitive play.

First released in the Pokémon Scarlet & Violet 151 set on September 22, 2023, in English.

  • Part of the nostalgic Pokémon 151 set celebrating the original Kanto Pokémon.
  • Features stunning Special Illustration Rare artwork by an artist highlighting Venusaur's floral power.
  • High HP of 340 and powerful Ability make it a staple in Grass decks.

Collector notes

Condition. Check for centering issues on the intricate Special Illustration artwork, print lines on the vibrant green and flower details, edge wear from binders, and surface scratches on the glossy finish; common flaws include rainbow foil scratches and minor whitening on edges.

Storage. Store in semi-rigid top loaders with sleeves in a cool, dry environment away from sunlight to prevent fading; use album pages or binders with individual pockets for SIR cards.

Authenticity. Verify holo pattern consistency, sharp text on 'ex' and ability, correct card stock thickness, and UV blacklight reaction on foil; compare to official scans from TCGPlayer or Pokémon site, avoid cards with off-color printing or blurry illustrations.
