ABOUT THIS CARD
Venusaur is a rare holo Pokemon card from Pokemon Expedition Base Set, card 30 of 165, released September 15, 2002 in the E-Card series. The illustration is by Shin-ichi Yoshikawa.
VALUE
What is Venusaur #30 from Expedition Base Set worth?
Two different numbers answer this, and they are not interchangeable. Raw/ungraded: a loose, ungraded copy of Venusaur #30 (Expedition Base Set) carries a market reference of $199.85 USD for the holofoil printing (TCGplayer market price, as of 2026-09-11). Graded slabs: a graded example is priced per grading company and per grade and can sit far above that raw figure - we hold no graded-slab data for this card yet, so we do not quote a graded number. Both are references, not offers.
Graded slab values over time GRADED SLAB

No graded-slab price history recorded for this card yet - no Rip Station marks, and no cited public sale results on file. The Rip Station series starts when a copy passes through our machines.
