About Venusaur (Pokemon Base Set 2)
The grass-type starter and third member of the “Big Three” Base Set holos. Hardest to find in true Gem Mint.
Base Set 2 is the year 2000 reprint set that combined cards from the original Base Set and Jungle into a single 130-card release. Base Set 2 carries its own set symbol (the “2” inside a square) on the lower-right of the artwork and lacks any 1st Edition stamp. Base Set 2 cards trade at a significant discount to their Base Set originals — the same character at a fraction of the price.
How to identify a Base Set 2 Venusaur:
- Set symbol with a “2” on the lower-right of the artwork box
- No “Edition 1” stamp
- Card number differs from the Base Set original (e.g. Zapdos is #20 in BS2, was #16 in BS1)
- 2000 copyright date
