2023 POKEMON CLV-TRADING CARD GAME CLASSIC VENUSAUR & LUGIA EX DECK PINSIR PSA10
Price: $94.99
Venusaur from the Base Set, holo rare, slabbed in a PSA 10. That classic artwork by Mitsuhiro Arita shows it lounging in a lush forest, vines ready to strike—simple but hits that nostalgic vibe hard.
Grass type, 100 HP. Ability’s Energy Trans: move Grass Energy between your Pokémon as much as you want during your turn. Attack’s Solarbeam for 60 damage, needs four Energy but packs a punch if you build around it.
Base Set dropped in 1999, the original English release that kicked off the TCG craze. This printing stands out because it’s the first Venusaur ever, evolving from Ivysaur, and it defined Grass decks early on with that energy-shifting trick. No fancy borders or full arts here—just raw, old-school charm from the Wizards of the Coast era, before all the modern twists.
In the slab, centering’s usually spot-on for a 10, with those sharp edges and clean surfaces making the holo foil pop under lights. Eye appeal’s solid, especially if the swirl pattern aligns just right—no print lines or haze to distract. Pop reports show around 1,200 in PSA 10, not flooded but tough to snag a pristine one given the age and handling back then.
I’d keep this one on the shelf next to my other Base holos, just for that throwback feel when friends swing by the shop.
