The collector's take on Blastoise EX
Is Blastoise EX worth grading?
Here is where it gets fun to think about: a raw Blastoise EX sits at $98, but a PSA 10 is valued at $16,386, which works out to about 167.1x the raw price. That is a massive jump, and it is easy to see why people get tempted to send copies off to PSA. But a Grade 9 only brings $559, so the real money lives almost entirely in that top gem mint tier, and hitting a 10 is genuinely hard, only 20 copies out of 1,526 graded have managed it. Grading costs money and takes time, and there is no guarantee your card comes back a 10 instead of a 9, so be honest with yourself about centering, edges, and surface before you submit. If your copy looks flawless under a loupe it might be worth the gamble, but if there is any doubt, it may be smarter to enjoy it raw or sell it as is.
How rare is Blastoise EX?
Out of 1,526 total graded copies of Blastoise EX, only 20 have earned that coveted PSA 10 label. That is a small slice of an already limited pool, and it tells you just how tough this card is to find in flawless condition. Older XY-era cards like this one were printed and handled long before todays grading boom, so pristine survivors are genuinely uncommon, and that scarcity is exactly what pushes the PSA 10 price so far above the raw and Grade 9 figures.
Where can you pull Blastoise EX?
We have tracked Blastoise EX being pulled 92 times across sites like collector-crypt and courtyard, which gives us a real look at where this card actually shows up instead of relying on guesswork. It has surfaced in packs like the Grail Pokemon Gacha Pack, the 30th Anniversary Day 1: Red pack, the Elite Pokemon Gacha Pack, the Pokemon Starter Pack, and the Pokemon Master Pack, and one lucky opener landed a copy worth $718. That said, opening packs is still a gamble, and most rips do not come close to covering their cost, so if you are chasing this specific card, watching live pull data like ours is a much better guide than hoping blind.
Questions people ask
How much is Blastoise EX worth?+
A raw, ungraded Blastoise EX is valued at $98 right now. Once you factor in grading, that number changes fast, a Grade 9 sits at $559 while a PSA 10 jumps to $16,386. So the honest answer depends heavily on the condition and whether it has been graded.
Is Blastoise EX worth grading?+
It can be, since a PSA 10 is worth about 167.1x the raw price of $98. But only 20 of the 1,526 graded copies have hit that PSA 10 grade, so gem mint is far from guaranteed, and grading fees plus the risk of a lower grade are worth weighing carefully before you send it in.
How much is a PSA 10 Blastoise EX worth?+
