What Is Butterfree Worth?
Butterfree is an Uncommon from Base Set 2, card number 034/130. On PokeCardWorth we focus on one question — what is it actually worth — and at its current valuation, it is an affordable, easy-to-find card best valued as part of a complete set rather than on its own.
Butterfree Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Butterfree (Base Set 2, 034/130) is worth around $1.59 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $1.59, while a Damaged one drops to roughly $0.46. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $1.59, Lightly Played $1.08, Moderately Played $0.84, Heavily Played $0.57, Damaged $0.46 — so grading the condition correctly before you buy or sell matters more than almost anything else. A PSA 10 (Gem Mint) example is valued near $99.99 — about 63x the raw price, which is the single biggest swing in this card's value. PSA 9 copies sit around $10.50.
Is It Worth Grading Butterfree?
Grading Butterfree can pay off concretely: the gap between its raw value ($1.59) and a PSA 10 ($99.99) is about $98.40 — a 63x uplift before grading fees. Other graded tiers we track: PSA 9 $10.50, PSA 8 $15.00. At this value grading rarely makes sense — the fee usually exceeds the card's worth.
