Common questions
What rarity is Venusaur #15?
Venusaur is a Rare. Base Set contains 32 cards at that rarity out of 102 total.
Does condition change what Venusaur is worth?
The prices on this page are for raw, ungraded copies.

Scryda scans the card, reads the exact print and finish, and shows raw alongside graded comps.
