What Is Bulbasaur Worth?
Bulbasaur is a Common card from the POP Series 2 set, card number 012/17. 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 (POP Series 2, 012/17) is worth around $29.57 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $29.57, while a Damaged one drops to roughly $5.93. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $29.57, Lightly Played $22.64, Moderately Played $16.19, Heavily Played $10.32, Damaged $5.93 — 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 $158.05 — about 5.3x the raw price, which is the single biggest swing in this card's value. PSA 9 copies sit around $44.99.
Is It Worth Grading Bulbasaur?
Grading Bulbasaur can pay off concretely: the gap between its raw value ($29.57) and a PSA 10 ($158.05) is about $128.48 — a 5.3x uplift before grading fees. Other graded tiers we track: PSA 9 $44.99, CGC 10 $49.99, PSA 8 $26.99. Grading is worth considering if your copy looks clean — the PSA 10 premium can comfortably clear the fee.
