Reading this card's numbers

Venusaur from Base carries a population of 3,819 for the 1st Edition print, with 145 PSA 10s. A 3.8 percent gem rate makes the 10 a genuine lottery: most submissions of this card do not come back gem mint, and the PSA 10 price reflects that scarcity.

The market pays hard for the top grade here: the PSA 10 runs about 6.0x the grade 9 money. That premium is the entire grading thesis on this card, and it cuts both ways if fresh tens arrive.
