The collector's take on Blastoise ex
Is Blastoise ex worth grading?
Here's where it gets interesting: a raw Blastoise ex sits at $3, while a PSA 10 comes in at $1,010, which works out to roughly 382.6 times the ungraded price. That's a jump most collectors dream about, but it's worth being honest about what it takes to get there. Grading costs money and time, and there's no guarantee your copy comes back gem mint, corners, edges, and centering all have to line up. Interestingly, Grade 9 copies are currently valued at $1,459, actually higher than the PSA 10 figure here, which is a reminder that grading markets can shift and don't always move in a straight line. If you've got a clean copy sitting in a sleeve, it's worth weighing the submission cost against these numbers before you send it in.
How rare is Blastoise ex?
Across all grading companies combined, PackSpy shows 6,576 total graded copies of Blastoise ex, with 2,714 of those earning a PSA 10. That means well under half the graded population hit the top grade, which lines up with how tricky gem mint really is to land. A population this size tells you the card is out there and known, but the PSA 10 slice staying under half of the total graded pool is exactly why gem mint copies keep commanding real money.
Where can you pull Blastoise ex?
This is where our tracking earns its keep, because price guides can't tell you where a card actually shows up in the wild. PackSpy has recorded Blastoise ex pulled 1 time across the sites we monitor, that single hit coming from collector-crypt inside a Starter Pokémon Gacha Pack, with a recorded pull value of $45. That's a thin sample, and it tells you plainly that this isn't a card you should expect to rip open in a pack anytime soon. Realistically, most collectors chasing this one end up buying it on the secondary market rather than hoping for a pull, and if you do open packs for the chance at cards like this, go in knowing most rips don't come out ahead.
Questions people ask
How much is Blastoise ex worth?+
A raw, ungraded Blastoise ex is valued at $3. Once you factor in grading, the number climbs a lot, with Grade 9 copies at $1,459 and PSA 10 copies at $1,010, so condition and certification make a huge difference to what it's actually worth.
Is Blastoise ex worth grading?+
It can be, since a PSA 10 sits at 382.6 times the raw price of $3. But grading costs money, takes time, and gem mint is genuinely hard to hit, so it's worth being honest with yourself about the condition of your copy before you submit it.
How much is a PSA 10 Blastoise ex worth?+
A PSA 10 Blastoise ex is currently valued at $1,010. Out of 6,576 total graded copies recorded, 2,714 have reached that PSA 10 grade, so it's achievable but far from guaranteed.
