How much is my Bulbasaur card worth?
Number one in the Pokédex — and in a lot of old binders.
Bulbasaur opens the Pokédex and half the binders of 1999. Base Set Bulbasaur is a common, so most copies trade modestly — but first-edition and shadowless prints in clean condition carry real premiums, and pristine graded copies of any early Bulbasaur have a devoted market.
Beyond Base Set sit the promos, the anniversary reprints and the modern illustration rares that give the starter line fresh chase cards. The set symbol and collector number decide the market, and SnapCardValue reads both from a photograph and prices the exact card from realised sales.

Your questions, answered.
Is a 1999 Bulbasaur card worth anything?
Unlimited copies in played condition trade modestly, as commons do — but first-edition and shadowless prints carry premiums, and high-grade early copies attract genuine collector money. Edition and condition decide it.
Which Bulbasaur cards are the most valuable?
First-edition Base Set copies in top grades, early Japanese prints and promos, and modern special illustration rares featuring Bulbasaur's evolution line lead the market.
Are Venusaur cards worth more than Bulbasaur?
Generally yes — Venusaur was a Base Set holofoil rare, and its first-edition and shadowless prints rank among the set's most valuable cards after Charizard and Blastoise.
