What Is Bulbasaur Worth?
Bulbasaur (Reverse_Holofoil variant) is a Common card from the Crystal Guardians set, card number 45/100. 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.
Bulbasaur Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Bulbasaur (Crystal Guardians, 45/100) is worth around $75.20 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $75.20, while a Damaged one drops to roughly $7.68. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $75.20, Lightly Played $35.34, Moderately Played $20.15, Heavily Played $10.86, Damaged $7.68 — 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 $1,100 — about 15x the raw price, which is the single biggest swing in this card's value. PSA 9 copies sit around $156.00.
Is It Worth Grading Bulbasaur?
Grading Bulbasaur can pay off concretely: the gap between its raw value ($75.20) and a PSA 10 ($1,100) is about $1,025 — a 15x uplift before grading fees. Other graded tiers we track: PSA 9 $156.00, CGC 10 $250.00, CGC 9.5 $160.00. Grading is worth considering if your copy looks clean — the PSA 10 premium can comfortably clear the fee.
