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 #54/112 of the FireRed & LeafGreen 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, FireRed & LeafGreen #54/112) changes hands at roughly $58.72, 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 $58.72, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $19.95. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $58.72, Lightly Played $67.24, Moderately Played $45.85, Heavily Played $31.54, Damaged $19.95 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Bulbasaur is valued near $300.00 — about 5.1x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Bulbasaur: 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) Bulbasaur sits around $300.00 — roughly 5.1x 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 $303.74, CGC 10 $284.00, PSA 8 $75.98 — 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.
