The collector's take on Blastoise ex

Is Blastoise ex worth grading?

So is Blastoise ex worth grading? Let's talk it through honestly. A raw copy runs $145, but a PSA 10 is fetching $600, which works out to about 4.1 times the raw price. That's a real jump, and it's why so many people send copies in. The catch is that gem mint isn't a given. Out of 62,369 total graded copies, only 19,580 came back PSA 10, so plenty of cards land at Grade 9 or lower, where the return is much smaller (Grade 9 sits at $160). Grading costs money and takes time, and there's no refund if the card comes back with a bent corner or a whitened edge you didn't notice. If your copy looks sharp under a light and you're patient, it can pay off. If it's got visible wear, you're probably better off enjoying it raw or selling as is.

How rare is Blastoise ex?

Population numbers tell a pretty clear story here. With 62,369 copies graded across all grades, Blastoise ex isn't a rare needle in a haystack, but the PSA 10 population of 19,580 shows that gem mint condition is still the minority outcome, not the norm. That gap between total graded and true gem mint copies is exactly why the PSA 10 price commands such a premium over raw. Scarcity at the top end is what keeps this card's graded value meaningfully higher, even though the card itself isn't hard to find in raw form.

Where can you pull Blastoise ex?

This is where PackSpy's own data comes in handy, because we track real pulls across pack sites rather than just guessing at odds. We've recorded Blastoise ex pulled 51 times across courtyard, collector-crypt, tilt-rips, and packs, with the biggest recorded pull landing at $620. It's shown up in packs like the Pokémon Starter Pack, Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack, Pokemon Ultimate Pack, Catch 'em All - Stellar Crown, and Water Pack. Worth remembering though, opening packs is a gamble and most rips don't come close to covering their cost, so treat any pull as a bonus rather than a plan. If you want this card guaranteed, buying raw or graded on the secondary market is still the surer route.

Questions people ask

How much is Blastoise ex worth?+

Right now, a raw or ungraded Blastoise ex is worth $145. Graded copies climb from there, with a Grade 9 at $160 and a PSA 10 reaching $600. So how much is Blastoise ex worth really depends on condition and whether it's been graded.

Is Blastoise ex worth grading?+

It can be, since a PSA 10 sells for about 4.1 times the raw price of $145, landing at $600. But only 19,580 of the 62,369 graded copies actually hit PSA 10, so gem mint isn't guaranteed, and grading fees are a real cost to weigh before sending it in.

What set is Blastoise ex from?+
