The 1999 Pokémon Base Set 1st Edition Holo Venusaur #15 is illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita and features the Energy Trans Pokémon Power alongside the 60-damage Solarbeam attack. Graded Near Mint+ 7.5 by Beckett Grading Services (BGS), this copy carries subgrades of 8.5 for Centering, 7.5 for Corners, 7.5 for Edges, and 7.5 for Surface. The BGS slab specifically notes the card's "Thick Stamp" variation, identifying the bolder font weight on the 1st Edition edition symbol located beneath the left edge of the art frame.
As card #15 in the 102-card Base Set, Venusaur anchoring the grass-type line forms one of the original "Big Three" fully evolved Kanto starters alongside Charizard and Blastoise. Produced by Wizards of the Coast during the initial 1999 English launch, 1st Edition Base Set holofoil cards feature the distinct shadowless art box framing that was dropped for later unlimited print runs. There are 25 copies logged at this exact 7.5 tier in the BGS population registry.Show more
