CATALOGUED · NOT YET PRICED
No completed public sale for Bulbasaur has been verified into our ledger yet. Until eight verified sales for a single printing-and-grade cell are recorded, there is nothing to take a median of, so this page prints no figure. No estimate, no range, no placeholder.
Identity fetched 2026-09-01 from the pokemontcg.io Base Set checklist; prices and populations are not in that record.

By checklist position it is 44 of 102, which puts it in the middle third of the binder. Its binder neighbours are Abra (#43) and Caterpie (#45). 48 Base Set cards print a higher HP than its 40. Bulbasaur was printed without a holofoil panel; 16 of the 102 cards carry one.
Which printing you are holding
Three Base Set printings exist, and a Bulbasaur from each is a different card to price. 1st Edition carries the edition stamp and a flat frame; Shadowless drops the stamp and keeps the flat frame; Unlimited restores the drop shadow. Priced, Bulbasaur would carry one cell per printing — blending three print runs into one median states a price no one paid.
