Market insight
Shadowless Venusaur holos command significantly higher prices at $501.29 versus standard ($157.26) and first-edition ($72.87) printings, though shadowless has retreated 13.3% over the past month and 23.5% over 90 days from recent highs near $654.99. Standard holo printings show relative strength with gains of 2.5% (30d) and 33.7% (1y), suggesting collector demand has shifted toward more accessible versions as premium shadowless inventory moves. First-edition holos remain volatile, having declined 90.8% over the past year with a notably wide range ($71.88–$1015.75), indicating sporadic sales and inconsistent market valuation for this printing.
