# Bulbasaur #45/100 — Crystal Guardians

## Summary

Bulbasaur is the Dex number one starter, and that alone keeps even a bulk common from being ignored, since Kanto-era fans collect it across every printing. In a Crystal Guardians pack it was filler, so interest comes from nostalgia and Sumiyoshi Kizuki completists, not scarcity. The modelled guide sits at $12, up 5% over 30 days on 47 copies traded, with 54 days of inventory on the board; a CGC 10 brings $139, 11 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
