Graded PSA 10 Gem Mint. Released in 1999, this 1st Edition Holo Venusaur #15 from the English Pokémon Base Set stands as an investment-grade TCG asset and a cornerstone piece for a premier collection. Illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita, the card displays the final evolution of the Grass-type Kanto starter within the classic holographic border. PSA reports a total population of 145 copies in Gem Mint 10 condition, defining a strictly finite supply at the top tier of preservation for this issue.
As one of the primary mascot Pokémon from the original Game Boy titles alongside Charizard and Blastoise, Venusaur holds foundational significance in the franchise's trading card history. The 1st Edition Base Set print run represents the inaugural English TCG release, identifiable by the circular 1st Edition stamp on the left side and the shadowless art frame structure unique to this true first printing. Early Wizards of the Coast holographic cardstock is inherently condition-sensitive to surface scuffing and edge wear, making flawless surviving examples in PSA 10 notable anchors of the era.Show more
