What Is Venusaur Worth?
Venusaur (Holofoil variant) is a holographic rare from Base Set 2, card number 018/130. On PokeCardWorth we focus on one question — what is it actually worth — and at its current valuation, it carries real mid-range value and is worth keeping protected in a sleeve and top-loader.
Venusaur Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Venusaur (Base Set 2, 018/130) is worth around $75.52 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $75.52, while a Damaged one drops to roughly $22.93. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $75.52, Lightly Played $56.21, Moderately Played $42.12, Heavily Played $32.32, Damaged $22.93 — 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 $1,607 — about 21x the raw price, which is the single biggest swing in this card's value. PSA 9 copies sit around $275.00.
Is It Worth Grading Venusaur?
Grading Venusaur can pay off concretely: the gap between its raw value ($75.52) and a PSA 10 ($1,607) is about $1,531 — a 21x uplift before grading fees. Other graded tiers we track: PSA 9 $275.00, CGC 10 $546.00, CGC 9.5 $250.00. Grading is worth considering if your copy looks clean — the PSA 10 premium can comfortably clear the fee.
