Tap to open
Blastoise has always been one of those cards that makes a binder feel complete, the final form of a starter everyone remembers fondly, and this particular version, the Reverse Holo #2 from Crystal Guardians, gives that nostalgia a shiny finish. Released back in 2006 and illustrated by Masakazu Fukuda, it carries a Rare tag and a raw value of $131 today. If you are trying to pin down Blastoise value in its current market, that number is a solid starting point before grading enters the picture.

The collector's take on Blastoise
Is Blastoise worth grading?
Here is where things get interesting: a raw copy sits at $131, but a PSA 10 gem mint version jumps all the way to $11,813, which works out to about 90.1 times the ungraded price. That is a massive spread, and it is the reason so many collectors dream about sending cards in. But gem mint is genuinely hard to hit, reverse holos show every little scratch and print line under bright light, and grading takes real money and real time with no guaranteed outcome. A Grade 9 still lands nicely at $1,185, so even a near perfect copy pays off, but if your card has any visible wear, it might make more sense to enjoy it raw than gamble on the grading fee.
How rare is Blastoise?
Crystal Guardians was a Rare card in its tier, not a hunted secret rare, but that does not mean copies are everywhere in top condition. Reverse holo prints from 2006 have had nearly two decades to pick up whitening, edge wear, and surface scuffs, so a truly clean, gem mint Blastoise is scarcer than the raw supply suggests. That scarcity is exactly why the PSA 10 price sits so far above the raw and Grade 9 figures, condition at the top end is genuinely hard to find.
Where can you pull Blastoise?
We have tracked this card being pulled 6 times across collector-crypt, with the biggest recorded pull landing at $435, well above the typical raw value. It has shown up in packs like the Legendary Pokémon Gacha Pack, the Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack, and WATCH 500, so if you are chasing this one through pack openings rather than buying it outright, those are the names worth watching. Just remember that pack odds are pack odds, opening for value is a gamble more often than a win, and most rips do not beat what you would pay buying the card directly.
Questions people ask
How much is Blastoise worth?+
A raw, ungraded Blastoise Reverse Holo #2 from Crystal Guardians currently sits around $131. Grade it and the number changes fast, a Grade 9 is worth $1,185, and a PSA 10 climbs to $11,813.
Is Blastoise worth grading?+
It can be, especially if your copy looks clean under a light, since a PSA 10 is worth roughly 90.1 times the raw price. But gem mint reverse holos are tough to pull off, so weigh the grading cost and turnaround against the real chance your card comes back a 9 instead of a 10.
Why is the Blastoise Reverse Holo #2 print worth more than the standard one?+
Reverse holos flip the foil pattern onto the card's background instead of the artwork, which collectors have always found appealing, and they tend to be pulled less often than standard prints from the same set. That extra visual pop and relative scarcity is a big part of why this Crystal Guardians version holds its own in the market.
