Blastoise needs no introduction if you grew up loving the Squirtle line, and this particular card gives that nostalgia a shiny, die cut twist. It's card #9 from the 1999 Topps Movie Die Cut set, a Double rare release that actually came out in 2023, with artwork from PLANETA Yamashita that makes the cut edges really pop. If you're trying to pin down Blastoise value right now, the short answer is it's an affordable, fun chase card rather than a big ticket grail, and that's part of its appeal.

The collector's take on Blastoise
Is Blastoise worth grading?
Here's the honest math: a raw, ungraded Blastoise sits around $12, while a Grade 9 copy is valued at $38, so grading well can more than triple what you'd get for it loose. The catch is that PSA 10 pricing for this card isn't established yet, which tells you gem mint copies aren't common enough to have a settled market, and die cut cards are notoriously fussy about surface and edge wear because of how they're cut. If you send one in, budget for grading fees and be realistic that a 9 is a great outcome, not a guaranteed one, and a perfect 10 is genuinely hard to land on a card like this.
How rare is Blastoise?
As a Double rare in the 1999 Topps Movie Die Cut set, Blastoise sits in that upper tier of pull rates without being the single hardest card in the checklist to find. We don't have official population numbers to lean on here, so take grading counts with a grain of salt, but the die cut finish itself does a lot of the scarcity work: these cards are more prone to chipping and edge wear just from being handled, which naturally thins out how many survive in top condition over time. That's really what keeps the Grade 9 price meaningfully above raw, condition is doing the heavy lifting more than pure rarity is.
Where can you pull Blastoise?
This is where PackSpy's tracking actually earns its keep, because we've recorded Blastoise pulled 200 or more times across courtyard, tilt-rips, collector-crypt, packs, lastpack, and mnstr, so it's clearly in active rotation on pack sites rather than something you only see on the secondary market. The biggest recorded pull we've logged for this card hit $4,750, which shows how wildly outcomes can swing depending on the box or promo tied to the rip. We've specifically seen it come out of the Wildcard Starter Pack, Rookie Pack, Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack, Water Pack, and The Amazing Chase Encore, though it's worth remembering that opening packs is a gamble, and most individual rips don't beat what you paid for them.
Questions people ask
How much is Blastoise worth?+
Raw or ungraded, Blastoise from the 1999 Topps Movie Die Cut set is valued around $12. Send it off and land a Grade 9, and that jumps to $38, while PSA 10 pricing hasn't been established yet since gem mint copies are scarce. So the honest Blastoise price really depends on condition and whether you're buying raw or graded.
Is Blastoise worth grading?+
It can be, since a Grade 9 is worth $38 compared to $12 raw, which is a solid jump for the cost of grading. Just know that PSA 10 value isn't set yet, and die cut cards like this one are easy to ding on the edges, so a perfect grade is far from guaranteed.
What set is Blastoise from?+
This Blastoise is card #9 from the 1999 Topps Movie Die Cut set, a Double rare that was actually released in 2023 and illustrated by PLANETA Yamashita. PackSpy has tracked it being pulled from packs like the Wildcard Starter Pack, Rookie Pack, Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack, Water Pack, and The Amazing Chase Encore.
