Why this card matters
pop
150 raw listings and tiny PSA 10 sample (n=2) suggest moderate availability with an inflated-looking gem-mint premium that lacks statistical grounding.
demand
Bulbasaur carries genuine nostalgia as a Gen-1 starter, but SM Black Star promo framing limits collector urgency compared to base-set or alt-art variants.
artist
Standard SM promo holo treatment with no notable alt-art or artist prestige driving incremental illustration-based demand.
catalyst
30-day momentum is deeply negative at -25.6% with no identifiable positive trigger, making near-term price recovery speculative.
