Grading math for this card
Prefilled with the latest qualifying sale for each grade where one exists. Replace any value with your own. We never suggest what grade your copy will get.
Compare grading math across cards · Formula from Grading: condition, uncertainty, and economics: grading pays only if your honest chance of the high grade exceeds (raw net + cost − other-outcome net) ÷ (high-grade net − other-outcome net). The 13% fee is an editable assumption, not a quoted tariff.
About Venusaur
Venusaur 15/102 is the holographic Venusaur from English Base Set. Collectors search for it because it completes the original Kanto final-evolution trio and because top-grade 1st Edition copies have distinct sales evidence.
Why this card matters
Verified factVenusaur 15/102 is the Base Set holo for Bulbasaur's final evolution and one of the three starter-evolution anchors in the first English Pokemon TCG release. PSA CardFacts tracks the 1999 Pokemon Game 1st Edition Venusaur-Holo separately, with grade-specific prices and populations. Opened 2026 Fanatics and PSA pages show recent PSA 10 activity, while the official Celebrations checklist confirms a later commemorative Classic Collection reprint that should not be merged with the original card. [1][2][6]
Identifying the exact version
AnalysisIdentify the English Base Set card by name, number 15/102, holo treatment, and Mitsuhiro Arita artwork. Then separate printings: 1st Edition Shadowless has the black stamp and no art-box shadow; Shadowless has no stamp but still lacks the shadow; Unlimited has the shadow and no stamp. Base Set 2 Venusaur, Celebrations Classic Collection Venusaur, Japanese Base Set, and signed or altered copies require their own records. [1][6]
What moves the price between versions and grades
Verified factVenusaur sales are highly sensitive to edition, grade, and whether the record is a true matching comp. PSA CardFacts showed 145 PSA 10, 727 PSA 9, and 618 PSA 8 examples for the 1st Edition page as accessed on 2026-09-26. A PSA 10 Fanatics sale, a PSA 9 eBay auction, and a raw Unlimited sale answer different questions. Population supports condition context but does not establish print run. [1][2]
Authenticity checks
Verified factCompare against official references; use multiple checks; no destructive tests; copied cert numbers exist. For Venusaur, check the 15/102 number, stamp, shadow status, holo layer, font, copyright line, back color, edges, and size. For a slab, compare the cert record, card title, grade, and available images with the seller's photos. Do not rely on a valid cert number by itself, because PSA notes that copied cert numbers can appear on counterfeit inserts. [3][4]
Telling the versions apart
| Version | How to identify it |
|---|---|
| 1st Edition Shadowless | Black 1st Edition stamp to the lower left of the art box and no drop shadow to the right of the artwork frame. |
| Shadowless | No 1st Edition stamp and no drop shadow to the right of the artwork frame. |
| Unlimited | No 1st Edition stamp and a visible drop shadow to the right of the artwork frame. |
