What is M Venusaur-EX worth?
M Venusaur-EX is a holo rare, one of the cards that holds XY Evolutions's value. The rarity tier decides most of it, since the same card prints at several tiers with very different prices. In top-grade 1st Edition, XY Evolutions holos range from the mid hundreds for the lesser cards up to the set's marquee chase; raw and Unlimited copies trade for a fraction of that. The live market price above shows the current figure by grade.
Print variants and how to spot them
Confirm the print and finish on M Venusaur-EX before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Grading M Venusaur-EX comes down to the holo surface and the borders. The era's foil scratches easily, so even a pack-fresh M Venusaur-EX can drop from a 10 to a 9 on a single hairline. Inspect the window at an angle and the corners against the frame.
If you are collecting M Venusaur-EX
If you are buying M Venusaur-EX, work in order: confirm the print variant first, then the grade, then price against recent sales for that exact variant and grade. Price the M Venusaur-EX against the population report, since modern holo supply is large.
