Holy Grail of Venusaur?

@hyruleguardian
I also collect grey stamps
If you find any of these “damaged cards” in your collection, give me a call and I will gladly take them off your hands at no cost. I’m just a nice guy like that

My holy grail venusaur. PSA won’t grade so I’m finally capitulating and sending to BGS this week. “Fair”, IMO, would be overall BGS 9.5, with 9 centering, 9.5 corners, 9.5 or 10 edges, and 9.5 or 10 surface. Lucky/unlucky would be anything else. It would be worst case a very strong PSA 9 due to centering, 10 on a lucky day. These pics are through two layers of plastic. In hand the card is glossy, pack fresh and gorgeous.

Good luck on the grade, she’s a beatuy for sure! Would you be willing to disclose where you found such a clean raw No Rarity holo? I’d understand if you don’t want to, obviously

Venusaur is my favorite Pokemon since forever, but I really don’t think it has all that many good TCG artworks. It looked increasingly dumber starting in the late ex era IMO.

CD promo is the best bar none.
Next would be Base, then Pop Series 2/ PCG-P and then the lottery promo and Erika’s Venusaur.

It should be obvious that 1st Ed & No Rarity Base and the Black Star promo in PSA 10 are the ‘holy grails’, at least pricewise.

What a card!

There is a UK guy, HUGE pain to deal with WRT prices, on ebay. But he has maybe more no rarity than anyone else I know of. Except for a few people in Australia, some of whom are (or were) forum members. I bought the best copy of each of his no rarity holos (except PSA 9 zard I already had) in one large deal during the first week of quarantine. Not a single PSA 10, but all PSA 9 and most of the cards seem pack fresh. at least a handful are only 9s due to centering and may have (IMO) been graded a bit harshly. that’s where the venusaur came from.

I was looking at the CD Promo and noticed one that had 'holo bleed ’ . How rare is this? Looks pretty cool

Ex crystal guardians Regional championship venusaur.
These are a lot rarer than they appear, not a lot for sale but the ones available are very cheap imo.

Is it a meme that i like my own stuff?

@alovell

I know it’s not popular enough, but the “4th print Base” Venusuar is just as hard to find as the shadowless so I’d make it a solid 4th just based on scarcity.

Yep, because just because you have a 4th booster pack doesn’t mean the holo will be a 1999-2000 ~

ive done a lot of looking into all these cards, and Ive essentially narrowed it down to 3 things i want

• first edition base set venusaur (quickly getting priced out, but gonna try)
• the old CD promo. working on this one now. just love the art
• that bulbasaur snap card. never gonna exist for me, but if there was an opportunity id crap my pants)
