# Bulbasaur #95/165 — Expedition Base Set

## Summary

Bulbasaur here is a Common from the first e-Card era set, a bulk pull that rarely gets a second look from anyone but nostalgic Gen I starter fans. Tomokazu Komiya's name on a basic Grass starter is a modest draw, but Bulbasaur's enduring popularity keeps collectors quietly interested. At a $69 modelled guide, up 2% over 30 days on 18 copies traded, with 152 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; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
