Black Label BGS 10 Bulbasaur 151 Master Ball Reverse Holo

Owning a BGS 10 Black Label of the Bulbasaur Master Ball Reverse Holo is a feat of extreme rarity. As card #001 in the legendary Japanese Pokémon Card 151 (SV2a) set, this card serves as the foundational anchor for "Master Ball" set collectors. A Black Label represents a level of perfection that only a tiny fraction of 1% of all submitted cards ever achieve.

The Card: Bulbasaur (001/165)
The "Master Ball" parallel is the most difficult reverse holo to pull from the 151 set.

Set Position: #001/165 (The first card in the Pokédex and the set).

Pull Rate: Only 1 Master Ball card is guaranteed per booster box (1 out of 153 possible reverse holos).

Distinctive Feature: The holofoil pattern features the "M" logo and purple detailing of a Master Ball, making it easily distinguishable from the common Poké Ball pattern.

The Grade: BGS 10 "Black Label"
In the grading world, there is "Pristine" and then there is the Black Label. This card has been scrutinized under intense magnification by Beckett Grading Services and found to be flawless in every category.

The "Quad 10" Sub-grades:

Centering: 10 (Mathematically perfect alignment)

Edges: 10 (Zero factory silvering or chipping)

Corners: 10 (Sharp, microscopic precision)

Surface: 10 (Complete absence of the common "print lines" that plague the 151 set)

Collector's Note: While PSA 10s of this card are highly desirable, a BGS Black Label is an entirely different asset class. It is a "Population 1" style trophy that commands a massive premium from investors seeking the finest known copy in existence.

Key Investment Attributes
The "First" Card: Collectors often place higher value on the #001 card of any significant set, making Bulbasaur a high-priority target.

Condition Rarity: Japanese 151 reverse holos are notorious for vertical and horizontal print lines. Finding a copy with a 10 Surface grade is the primary hurdle that prevents most cards from achieving Black Label status.

The Slab: Housed in Beckett’s signature thick, tamper-proof case with the iconic metallic black and gold label.
