Card #
SWSH100
Condition Grade
Estimated PSA 6-7 (EX-MT). While centering is decent, storage in a budget PVC binder sleeve without a penny sleeve often causes surface micro-scratching. Bottom right corner shows slight whitening.

Manufacturer
The Pokemon Company (Nintendo)
Demand Level
Moderate. Venusaur has a dedicated collector base, but this card was mass-produced in pre-constructed decks, keeping supply high.
Valuation
Raw (Ungraded) Value
$1.50 - $4.00
Graded Value
PSA 8: $15-20, PSA 9: $25-30, PSA 10: $65-80. Grading is not recommended due to high cost vs low return for this specific promo.
Comparable Sales
Recent raw sales on eBay and TCGPlayer range from $1.25 to $3.75 depending on shipping costs. PSA 10 copies occasionally reach $75, but most remain raw in collections.
Description
A 2021 Pokemon Venusaur V promo card featuring dynamic action art of the iconic Grass-type starter. This card was originally released as part of the Venusaur V Battle Deck. It features the 'Leaf Drain' and 'Double-Edge' attacks with a sleek 'V' rule graphic at the bottom.
Key Features
Features a classic 'Kanto' starter Pokemon; Sword & Shield era Black Star Promo numbering; accessible V-series ultra rare design.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. Correct font kerning on '220 HP', accurate holo-sheen (though obscured by binder), and proper copyright text at bottom. Not a high-value target for sophisticated fakes.
Flaws to Note
Stored in a multi-pocket binder page without individual penny sleeves, which risks surface scuffing. Minor edge wear/whitening visible on bottom right rear corner (typical for deck-product promos).
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best for TCGPlayer, eBay (as a 'PWE' / Envelope shipment), or traded at a local card shop for store credit.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card; the fees will exceed the card's value. List as 'Near Mint' or 'Lightly Played' on TCGPlayer. Ship in a penny sleeve and top-loader inside a plain white envelope (PWE) to keep costs low for the buyer.
