Venusaur (68): Rarity & Collectibility
Venusaur (68) in its sought-after Reverse_Holofoil variant is a genuine Rare that print runs hold back, so collectors have to hunt for clean copies. Cataloged as Rare #068/165 of the Expedition 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 (68)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Venusaur (68) (Rare, Expedition #068/165) changes hands at roughly $30.99, 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 $30.99, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $26.84. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $30.99, Lightly Played $46.72, Moderately Played $30.64, Heavily Played $25.97, Damaged $26.84 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Venusaur (68) is valued near $575.00 — about 19x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Venusaur (68): 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 (68) sits around $575.00 — roughly 19x 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 $120.00, CGC 10 $212.50, CGC 9.5 $73.55 — 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.
