2006 Pokémon EX Bulbasaur PSA 10 - Crystal Guardians #45 🔥 Low Pop GEM MINT
This is the regular (non-holo) Bulbasaur, card #45 from the 2006 EX Crystal Guardians set, in English. It is a PSA 10 Gem Mint in the original PSA slab (cert 55921990).
EX Crystal Guardians is a late EX-era set, and this Bulbasaur is a Basic Grass Pokémon with 50 HP illustrated by Sumiyoshi Kizuki, with two attacks: Tackle for 10 and Poisonpowder to Poison the Defending Pokémon. The artwork shows Bulbasaur in a flower-filled meadow.
On a non-holo, condition comes down to centering, corners and surface, and the photos show how this copy reads in the slab. The grade confirms condition; the photos show how it presents.

Bulbasaur #45 Crystal Guardians FAQ
Is this the reverse foil Bulbasaur?
No. This is the regular non-holo printing, and the PSA label does not carry a Reverse Foil designation. The Reverse Foil version has its own, larger population and trades separately, so confirm the variant before you compare against any sold comp.
How should I read the PSA 10 pop on this card?
39 PSA 10s is about 25% of the 159 graded PSA 7 and up, with 77 PSA 9s at roughly 48%. That is a small population at every grade, so a single new submission moves the numbers and it is worth rechecking before you buy. Pull recent sold comps for 10s and 9s to see how wide the spread is.
What decides a PSA 10 on a non-holo from this era?
Centering and edges first, then surface and corners. The borders in the photos are worth a close look, since edge whitening and off-center printing are the usual reasons a copy misses a 10.
Are the pop numbers exactly PSA’s?
They come from public PSA population data and are dated on this page. On a pop this small, counts move quickly as new cards are graded, so check psacard.com/pop for current figures before relying on them for a purchase decision.
How do I verify this slab?
Enter cert number 55921990 at psacard.com/cert and match the card name, set, number and grade to the label and photos. Then inspect the case for cracks, scuffs or any sign of tampering.
