Why Venusaur #15 is priced where it is
Venusaur #15 is a Rare Holo Pokémon card from Base Set, the Base era (1999). It ranks as number 3 by price out of 307 cards in the set, so it is one of the cards collectors chase when opening packs. The PSA 10 premium is only about $-66.50 over raw, so grading rarely leaves much profit after fees and shipping. Its price has held almost flat over the last 30 days ($156.38 to $151.91).
