Bulbasaur: Rarity & Collectibility

Bulbasaur in its sought-after Reverse_Holofoil variant sits at the most plentiful end of the rarity scale — easy to pull and easy to find. Cataloged as Common #1/108 of the Dark Explorers set, it is the kind of card RarePokemonCard tracks for scarcity and collector demand rather than raw price alone. The harder a card is to pull in top condition, the more weight serious collectors place on it.

How Rare & Valuable Is Bulbasaur?

In 2026, a Near Mint Bulbasaur (Common, Dark Explorers #1/108) changes hands at roughly $10.90, and availability keeps it within easy reach for collectors. Because demand concentrates on clean copies, surface wear is punished hard: a Near Mint example commands about $10.90, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $1.02. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $10.90, Lightly Played $9.91, Moderately Played $5.14, Heavily Played $3.50, Damaged $1.02 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value.
