Bulbasaur (Japanese): Rarity & Collectibility
Bulbasaur (Japanese) sits at the most plentiful end of the rarity scale — easy to pull and easy to find. Cataloged as Common #050/049 of the SV: Venusaur, Charizard & Blastoise Special Deck Set 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 (Japanese)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Bulbasaur (Japanese) (Common, SV: Venusaur, Charizard & Blastoise Special Deck Set #050/049) changes hands at roughly $53.48, 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 $53.48, whereas a Lightly Played one slides to around $49.01. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Bulbasaur (Japanese) is valued near $155.00 — about 2.9x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Bulbasaur (Japanese): 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 (Japanese) sits around $155.00 — roughly 2.9x 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 $47.31, CGC 10 $127.77, CGC 9.5 $19.50 — 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.
