About This Card
Completing the 1st Edition starter trio, Venusaur is the most affordable of the three but still commands five figures raw. PSA 10 copies are extraordinarily rare.
Grading Tips for Venusaur
- The green holo hides scratches to the eye — always use a loupe
- Back centering is often worse than the front on 1st Edition prints
- Corner tips are extremely fragile on 1999 card stock
Grade Difficulty
hard1st Edition centering is notoriously inconsistent. The green holo pattern can mask surface issues to the naked eye but not under PSA's magnification.
