# Bulbasaur #55/112 — FireRed & LeafGreen

## Summary

Bulbasaur is the Pokédex's very first entry and one of the three Kantō starters, so it never lacks admirers, and FireRed & LeafGreen was built around that Kantō nostalgia. A plain common here is a binder-filler, but Hajime Kusajima's name keeps completists looking. The modelled guide sits at $4.99, down 7% over 30 days on 33 copies traded, with 639 days of inventory on the board; a CGC 10 brings $199, 40 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
