About Vileplume in the Pokémon world
The Grass-Poison final form of the Oddish line via Leaf Stone. Large red flower top. Jungle holo Vileplume was a tournament staple in 1999. PSA 10 1st Edition copies are scarcer than the population reports suggest because of how heavily it was played.
What is Vileplume worth?
Vileplume is a non-holo Rare. In Aquapolis, value concentrates in the holo rares, so a Vileplume trades modestly, though a clean, well-centered 1st Edition copy in PSA 10 is scarcer than the print run suggests and carries a real premium. Check the live price above for the figure by grade.
Print variants and how to spot them
Confirm the print and finish on Vileplume before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Non-holo Rares like Vileplume are easier on surface but no kinder on centering. Wizards-era cards were less protected than the holos, so high-grade Vileplume survivors can be scarcer than expected, with edge whitening the usual cap.
If you are collecting Vileplume
For Vileplume, check centering by eye, edge whitening on all four sides, and surface under angled light. Non-holo Rares from this era are cheap enough that a PSA 10 submission on a clean Vileplume can make sense.
