The collector's take on Blastoise
Is Blastoise worth grading?
So is it worth grading? Honestly, it depends on what you are chasing. A raw copy of Blastoise sits at $238, a Grade 9 jumps to $663, and a true PSA 10 gem mint copy is valued at $1,975, which works out to 8.3 times the raw price. That is a real gap, and it is tempting to send every copy in. But gem mint is called gem mint for a reason: centering, edge wear, and surface flaws that look tiny to the naked eye can knock a card down a grade, and grading fees plus turnaround time are real costs you eat either way. If your copy already looks clean under good light, grading can make sense. If it has soft corners or a slightly off-center image, you might be better off enjoying it raw or selling it as is.
How rare is Blastoise?
As a double rare from a Japanese promo set, Blastoise was never going to be an easy pull to begin with, and that rarity tier alone puts a natural ceiling on how many copies are floating around. We do not have exact population figures to share, but double rares from promo sets tend to print in smaller numbers than mainline set cards, which is part of why the price holds up well across every grade. Scarcity like this is exactly why the jump from raw to PSA 10 is so steep. There simply are not many perfect copies out there to satisfy demand.
Where can you pull Blastoise?
This is where PackSpy earns its keep, because we track real pulls across pack sites rather than just guessing. Blastoise has been recorded pulled 200 or more times across courtyard, tilt-rips, collector-crypt, packs, lastpack, and mnstr, so it is far from a myth card, people are genuinely opening it. It has turned up in packs like The Amazing Chase Encore, Rookie Pack, Pokemon Expert Pack, Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack, and Pokemon Premium Pack, and the biggest recorded pull value tied to this card hit $82,500. That said, opening packs is still a gamble, and most rips do not come close to that number, so treat any pack purchase as entertainment first and investment second.
