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 #39/95 of the Team Magma vs Team Aqua 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, Team Magma vs Team Aqua #39/95) changes hands at roughly $69.69, 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 $69.69, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $17.39. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $69.69, Lightly Played $66.74, Moderately Played $30.00, Heavily Played $15.00, Damaged $17.39 — 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 $500.00 — about 7.2x 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 $500.00 — roughly 7.2x 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 $202.50, CGC 9.5 $99.99, PSA 8 $150.00 — 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.
