Blastoise has always been one of the most beloved names in the Pokemon TCG, and this Reverse Holo version from the 2010 Unleashed set gives that classic starter evolution a shimmering foil treatment that collectors still hunt down today. It's a Rare card, illustrated by Masakazu Fukuda, and while it isn't the flashiest chase card in the set, it carries a steady kind of appeal that keeps people asking about Blastoise value years after its release. If you're wondering how much is Blastoise worth right now, the short answer is that a raw copy sits at $23, but the story gets a lot more interesting once grading enters the picture.

The collector's take on Blastoise
Is Blastoise worth grading?
So is Blastoise worth grading? It depends on what you're chasing. A PSA 10 copy of this card is valued at $416, which works out to roughly 17.8 times what a raw, ungraded copy brings in at $23. That's a real jump, no question. But here's the honest part: gem mint is genuinely hard to land on this print, and a Grade 9 actually sits at just $16, below the raw price. That tells you something important, the market here rewards perfection and doesn't pay much of a premium for anything less than a 10. Grading costs money and takes time, and there's no guarantee your copy comes back gem mint. If you've got a card that looks flawless under a light and a loupe, it might be worth the gamble. If it has any soft corners or surface wear, you're probably better off holding it raw or selling it as is.
How rare is Blastoise?
Across all grading companies combined, there are only 110 graded copies of this Blastoise Reverse Holo on record, and of those, just 4 have ever come back as a PSA 10. That's a tiny slice at the very top. When a population report shows that few gem mint copies out of a modest total pool, it explains why the PSA 10 price sits so far above everything else, there simply aren't many perfect copies floating around for collectors to compete over. For a card from 2010, that kind of scarcity at the highest grade is part of what keeps serious collectors paying attention to this one.
Where can you pull Blastoise?
This is where PackSpy's own tracking comes in handy, because we record real pulls happening across pack sites, not just price guide estimates. We've logged this Blastoise being pulled 2 times across the sites we track, specifically on collector-crypt, and it's shown up in the Grail Pokémon Gacha Pack. The biggest pull value we've recorded for it sits at $772, which is a nice reminder that pack odds can occasionally hand you something well above sticker price. That said, pulls like this are the exception, not the rule, and most pack openings don't return your money, so if you're chasing this exact card, buying it directly on the secondary market is usually the more reliable route.
Questions people ask
How much is Blastoise worth?+
A raw, ungraded copy of the Blastoise Reverse Holo #13 from Unleashed is valued at $23. Once you get into graded copies, a Grade 9 sits at $16, while a PSA 10 jumps all the way up to $416 thanks to how few gem mint copies exist.
Is Blastoise worth grading?+
It can be, but only if the card is truly in gem mint shape. A PSA 10 brings 17.8 times the raw price at $416, but only 4 out of 110 graded copies have ever hit that top grade, and a Grade 9 actually sells for less than raw at $16. Grade only if you're confident in the condition.
Why is the Blastoise Reverse Holo #13 print worth more than the standard one?+
Reverse holo prints carry that shimmering foil background instead of just a holo character, which collectors have always found appealing, and they tend to be pulled less often than the base version. Combined with a tight population of only 110 graded copies and just 4 PSA 10s, that added scarcity is a big part of why this version holds steady collector interest.
