Frequently asked questions
What is Base Set Venusaur worth right now?
Venusaur #15/102 is $28.95 in our daily price book as of 2026-09-24, from the TCGplayer listing sample. That is the highest figure among the Base Set Rare Holos we track; the same snapshot lists Raichu at $19.00, Zapdos at $9.30 and Poliwrath at $5.50.
Why is Venusaur priced higher than Wartortle?
Rarity tier, not stage position. Venusaur is a Rare Holo Stage 2 Grass with 100 HP and the Energy Trans ability, while the same Base Set snapshot lists the Uncommon Wartortle at $0.48. That gap is roughly 60x between two cards from the same 102-card set.
Who illustrated the Base Set Venusaur?
Mitsuhiro Arita, credited on our record for #15/102. In the Base Set cards we track, that sets it apart: the other Rare Holos in our snapshot (Poliwrath, Raichu, Zapdos) are Ken Sugimori cards. The listing sample prices this one at $28.95 as of 2026-09-24.
How does condition affect the Venusaur holo's price?
Surface wear dominates Rare Holo asks, since scratches and haze on the holo layer are visible in listing photos. Our aggregate keeps one method: the daily TCGplayer listing sample, $28.95 as of 2026-09-24. We record this price daily since that date and report no trend before the history grows.
