SEQUENTIAL PSA 10 VENUSAUR EX 198 & 200 151 US & JAPANESE POKEMON GEM MINT
Price: $999.99
Venusaur ex from the Scarlet & Violet – 151 set, Special Illustration Rare, slabbed PSA 10. That artwork with Venusaur looming in the misty forest, vines twisting like they’re alive—hits different, especially with the subtle glow on those petals.
Grass type, 340 HP. Ability’s Blooming Finisher, letting you attach up to 3 Grass Energy from discard to your Pokémon once per turn if this guy’s in play. Attack is Dangerous Toxbloom at 150 damage, but it poisons both active Pokémon and confuses yours—risky play, but packs a punch in expanded formats.
Dropped in 2023 as part of the 151 expansion, nodding back to the original Kanto dex with modern twists. This printing stands out for its full-art treatment, blending classic Venusaur vibes with that hyper-detailed illustration by 5ban Graphics. It’s not just another ex; the set’s focus on the first 151 Pokémon made it a chase card for completionists, especially with the Japanese version releasing a bit earlier and influencing global hype. English and Japanese variants often get compared for print quality, and this one’s got that clean, vibrant ink that pops under lights.
Slab-wise, PSA 10 means gem mint all around—centering likely dead on or close, edges sharp as a Razor Leaf, surfaces flawless without a whisper of whitening. Eye appeal’s through the roof with the holo border framing that forest scene perfectly. Pop reports show around 400 in PSA 10 for the English #200/165, while the Japanese #198/165 hovers near 300, making sequential US and Japanese pairs a neat collector’s flex if you’re into matching sets.
I’d stash this in a display case next to its evo line buddies, just to watch the light dance on that foil.
