# Bulbasaur #54/112 — FireRed & LeafGreen

## Summary

Bulbasaur is the Pokédex's opening entry and a starter people stay loyal to for life, so even a plain common gets a steady trickle of interest. Atsuko Nishida has drawn Pokémon since the original card game, and FireRed & LeafGreen was a Kanto-nostalgia set, so this is a modest but warm pickup. At a $15 modelled guide, down 4% over 30 days on 9 copies traded, with 636 days of inventory on the board, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.20 out of Mega Evolution; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
