# Bulbasaur #67/130 — Base Set 2

## Summary

Bulbasaur is the Pokédex's first entry and the original Grass starter, which gives even a common a devoted following that never really fades. Mitsuhiro Arita's name on a Wizards-era card carries real weight with collectors, while the bulk rarity keeps the entry price modest. At a $4.51 modelled guide, down 23% over 30 days on 77 copies traded, with 345 days of inventory on the board, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.23 out of Mega Evolution; a PSA 10 brings $280, 62 times raw, but a 19% gem rate against $85 of fees makes grading a losing trade.
