What sets the price of Venomoth #31

Venomoth #31 is a Rare Pokémon card from Base Set 2, the Base era (2000). It ranks as number 30 by price out of 130 cards in the set. Over the last 30 days the price rose +3.1%, from $3.91 to $4.03. The illustration is by Ken Sugimori.

Is it worth grading? Venomoth #31 uses the thinner card stock typical of early Wizards of the Coast era Pokemon prints, which can make centering and edge wear more noticeable. As a non-holo rare, surface scratches tend to show up more clearly under light than they do on holofoil cards from the same set. Collectors often point out that clean, well-centered copies are less common than the card's overall availability might suggest.

Some collectors view Base Set 2 rares like Venomoth as underappreciated pieces of Pokemon card history, since the set is frequently overshadowed by the original Base Set. Interest in these cards can shift with broader nostalgia cycles in the hobby rather than following a steady pattern. Venomoth's remaining supply in strong condition may be more limited than casual observers assume, though this remains an observation worth verifying through independent research rather than a fixed conclusion.
