The collector's take on Blastoise
Is Blastoise worth grading?
So is Blastoise worth grading? Here's the honest math: a raw copy runs about $295, a Grade 9 climbs to $1,434, and a PSA 10 sits at $18,435, which works out to roughly 62.4 times the raw price. That jump is real money, but gem mint is genuinely hard to hit on a card like this, centering and edge wear on Secret Rares from this era can be unforgiving. Grading costs money and takes time, and there's no guarantee your copy comes back a 10 instead of a 9, so weigh the submission fee and the wait against what you're actually holding before you send it in.
How rare is Blastoise?
Across every grading company combined, there are 1,639 graded copies of this Blastoise on record, and only 46 of those have earned a PSA 10. That's a tiny sliver sitting at the top of the pile. When you see a population gap that wide between total graded copies and true gem mint examples, it tells you why the price difference between a Grade 9 and a PSA 10 is so steep, the ceiling grade is simply rare in a way the raw and mid-grade market isn't.
Where can you pull Blastoise?
PackSpy has tracked this exact Blastoise being pulled 149 times across real pack sites, including courtyard, packz, collector-crypt, lastpack, and packs, with the biggest recorded hit coming in at $1,900. It's shown up in the Pokémon Starter Pack, Pokémon Uncommon Pack, Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack, Bronze Pokémon Gacha Pack, and rookie packs. That's useful to know because most price guides can only tell you what a card sells for, not where it's actually coming out of, and pulling one yourself is still a gamble since most pack opens don't come close to covering their cost, but the data at least tells you where this Blastoise has genuinely surfaced.
Questions people ask
How much is Blastoise worth?+
A raw, ungraded copy of Blastoise #137 from Plasma Storm is valued at $295. Graded copies are worth considerably more, with a Grade 9 at $1,434 and a PSA 10 reaching $18,435, so condition makes a huge difference to Blastoise price.
Is Blastoise worth grading?+
It can be, since a PSA 10 is worth about 62.4 times the raw price. But only 46 out of 1,639 graded copies have reached that top grade, so gem mint is far from guaranteed, and you should factor in grading fees and wait times before submitting.
How much is a PSA 10 Blastoise worth?+
A PSA 10 Blastoise #137 is currently valued at $18,435. That's a steep jump from the $295 raw price and reflects just how few copies, only 46 out of 1,639 graded, have achieved that perfect grade.
