1999 Pokémon Base Set Venusaur #15/102 (Unlimited): what is it worth?

Make sure it's this card

Unlimited Base Set holo: no "Edition 1" stamp. 1st Edition, Shadowless and Base Set 2 copies are priced separately. If you're not sure from photos, we'll say so.

Ungraded (raw)

The range is wide because raw condition varies.

Second source check (TCGplayer, read Oct 25, 2026): the 5 latest sales were $100 (Lightly Played) to $160 (Near Mint), Oct 23–25, 2026. These are mixed-condition sales (Damaged to Near Mint), so they show the spread rather than one price. TCGplayer's near-mint market price was $152.86. TCGplayer mostly agrees with the main range. One near-mint sale was a little higher, so we raised the top end to $160. Confidence stays Medium. Source: TCGplayer product page. Graded ranges are unchanged and still come from the PriceCharting sales log only.

eBay sold check (Oct 25, 2026): 8 raw sales from $36 to $112, Oct 22–25, mostly well below the earlier range. They conflict, so we widened the range to $36–$160 and lowered confidence from Medium to Low. 6 PSA 9 sales Aug 2 – Sep 10: $576–$635. They mostly agree with PriceCharting; confidence is Medium (was High) because the sources overlap and the eBay sales are older. No usable PSA 10 eBay sales, so PSA 10 stays single source.

Graded, by company

Ranges are the middle half of recent sales (25th–75th percentile), dated 2026.

How to read the graded table: rows marked Single source, rough estimate rest on PriceCharting's public sales log only (checked Oct 25, 2026); treat them as rough. Unmarked rows combine PriceCharting with eBay sold listings we checked directly on Oct 25, 2026. PriceCharting and eBay overlap: PriceCharting logs some eBay sales, so these are not fully independent.

Is it worth grading?

Grading only clearly pays if the card could reach a high grade. Most mid grades sit close to good raw copies once fees and shipping are counted. Grading fees change, so check current fees with each company: PSA (cards) BGS / Beckett (cards) CGC (cards) SGC (cards). Then try our free grading calculator.

Where these numbers come from

Completed sales on eBay, TCGplayer, Goldin, Fanatics and Heritage, as logged by PriceCharting's public sales history (source page), checked Oct 25, 2026. Confidence is High with many recent sales from more than one venue that agree, Medium with fewer sales, one main venue or a wider spread, and Low with very few sales or authenticity concerns. Prices move, and your copy's condition decides where it falls.
