By checklist position it is 15 of 102, which puts it in the first third of the binder. Its binder neighbours are Raichu (#14) and Zapdos (#16). 2 Base Set cards print a higher HP than its 100. Venusaur is one of 16 cards printed with a holofoil panel in this set.
Which printing you are holding
Three Base Set printings exist, and a Venusaur 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. Each printing of Venusaur therefore gets its own cell here, never one blended number.
