What Is Bulbasaur Worth?
Bulbasaur (Reverse_Holofoil variant) is a Common card from the Shining Legends set, card number 1/73. 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.
Bulbasaur Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Bulbasaur (Shining Legends, 1/73) is worth around $1.14 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $1.14, while a Damaged one drops to roughly $0.21. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $1.14, Lightly Played $1.04, Moderately Played $0.96, Heavily Played $3.43, Damaged $0.21 — 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 $100.00 — about 88x the raw price, which is the single biggest swing in this card's value. PSA 9 copies sit around $24.99.
Is It Worth Grading Bulbasaur?
Grading Bulbasaur can pay off concretely: the gap between its raw value ($1.14) and a PSA 10 ($100.00) is about $98.86 — a 88x uplift before grading fees. Other graded tiers we track: PSA 9 $24.99, BGS 9.5 $10.00, PSA 8 $7.50. At this value grading rarely makes sense — the fee usually exceeds the card's worth.

Is Bulbasaur a Good Buy?
As a common, Bulbasaur holds little standalone value, but clean copies still matter for set completion. Don't expect price growth here — value it for completeness, not returns. Whatever you decide, recheck Bulbasaur's value on PokeCardWorth before buying or selling — the 2026 market shifts with set releases, nostalgia cycles, and demand.
