Venusaur PSA 10 Cards
Overview
Venusaur (#003, Grass/Poison, Generation I) is the third of the original Kanto starter finals alongside Charizard and Blastoise, and the headline holo at Base Set 15/102. Vintage demand is anchored by the WOTC trio chase; modern demand peaks at Pokemon 151 (SV3.5) Venusaur ex.
Lore & Background
Venusaur is the Seed Pokemon, Pokedex #003, a Grass/Poison dual-type final evolution of Bulbasaur (#001) via Ivysaur (#002), introduced in Generation I (Red/Green, 1996). Pokedex entries describe the large flower on its back absorbing sunlight to power its body and emitting a soothing aroma. It is the cover legendary of Pokemon Green (Japan only, 1996) and the box-art Pokemon for FireRed/LeafGreen's counterpart LeafGreen (2004). Generation VI introduced Mega Venusaur (Grass/Poison), and Generation VIII added a Gigantamax form (Bulbapedia accessed 2026-05-09).
Investment Analysis
Venusaur is the lowest-velocity of the three Kanto starters in collector value but anchors permanent set-completion demand alongside Charizard and Blastoise. Headline prints: 1999 Base Set 15/102 (Shadowless and 1st Edition premiums), Japanese Base No Rarity, EX FireRed & LeafGreen Venusaur ex, XY Evolutions Venusaur 1/108 holo, Pokemon 151 (SV3.5) Venusaur ex SAR. Because Venusaur trails Charizard demand significantly, entry costs into iconic prints are the most accessible of the trio, which makes it a popular first vintage holo for grading.
Buyer Guide
Vintage buyers should target Base Set 15/102 (Shadowless and 1st Edition for the largest premium) and Japanese Base No Rarity. Mid-tier: Legendary Collection Venusaur, Gym Challenge Erika's Venusaur, EX FireRed & LeafGreen Venusaur ex. Modern buyers focus on Pokemon 151 Venusaur ex SAR (the strongest modern Venusaur chase) and XY Evolutions Venusaur 1/108. Because Venusaur prints rarely chase the absolute set ceiling, raw-to-graded margins are usually thinner than Charizard or Blastoise equivalents — buy already-graded examples or only grade pristine raw copies.
