Venusaur: Rarity & Collectibility
Venusaur in its sought-after Holofoil variant is a Holo Rare — the shimmering pulls that built the hobby and that set-builders prize most. Cataloged as Holo Rare #028/100 of the Deck Exclusives 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 Venusaur?
In 2026, a Near Mint Venusaur (Holo Rare, Deck Exclusives #028/100) changes hands at roughly $27.43, and desirability among set-builders keeps that number firm. Because demand concentrates on clean copies, surface wear is punished hard: a Near Mint example commands about $27.43, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $4.22. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $27.43, Lightly Played $18.32, Moderately Played $11.80, Heavily Played $4.60, Damaged $4.22 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Venusaur is valued near $114.50 — about 4.2x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Venusaur: Gem Mint & Population
Even for a card at this rarity, the top of the market belongs to certified gem-mint copies. A PSA 10 (or CGC 10 / BGS Black Label equivalent) Venusaur sits around $114.50 — roughly 4.2x a raw copy. That gap exists because relatively few examples ever earn a perfect grade, so gem-mint population is the real scarcity collectors chase. Step down a notch and demand spreads across PSA 9 $55.00, PSA 8 $69.97 — each tier a smaller, scarcer pool than the one below it. The rule of thumb for collectors: the rarer the card, the more a certified high grade matters to its standing.
