The Venusaur 15/102 in context
Why collectors care
Venusaur completes the Base Set starter trio. As the Grass-type anchor of the 1999 set, it holds steady collector demand and is a common target for players building a complete high-grade Base Set holo run.
How to identify it
Number 15/102. Edition is read the same way: "Edition 1" stamp for 1st Edition, no stamp and no art-box shadow for Shadowless, drop shadow for Unlimited.
Common mistakes
Mislabeled editions are the main risk. Do not rely on the listing title; verify the stamp and shadow yourself and confirm the grading cert.
Grade considerations
Centering and surface scratches on the holo foil decide most grades. Shadowless and 1st Edition copies in gem condition carry the premium; Unlimited is far more available.
