Question 1

Is Blastoise worth grading?

Accepted Answer

So is it worth grading? Looking at the numbers, a raw or ungraded copy runs $552, a Grade 9 jumps to $4,359, and a PSA 10 sits at $30,995, which works out to about 56.2 times the raw price. That's a real jump, no question. But gem mint is genuinely hard to hit here: out of 2,294 graded copies, only 93 have made PSA 10. Grading costs money and takes time, and there's no guarantee your copy comes back gem mint even if it looks perfect to your eye. If you've got a raw card that's sharp on the corners and clean under a light, it can be worth the gamble. If it's got soft edges or a hint of whitening, you might just be paying to confirm what you already suspected.

Question 2

How rare is Blastoise?

Accepted Answer

Across all grading companies combined, there are 2,294 graded copies of this Blastoise on record, and only 93 of those have earned a PSA 10. That's a small slice at the very top, and it's a big part of why the PSA 10 price sits so far above everything else. When gem mint copies are this rare relative to the overall population, each one becomes a bit of an event when it surfaces, and that scarcity is doing a lot of the heavy lifting behind the current numbers.

Question 3

Where can you pull Blastoise?

Accepted Answer

PackSpy has tracked 121 pulls of this Blastoise across sites like collector-crypt and mnstr, and the biggest recorded pull came in at $75,000, which gives you a sense of what a great copy can do when it lands in the right hands. We've seen it turn up in packs like the Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack, Starter Pokémon Gacha Pack, Pack 2, Pokémon 30 Boss Battle Gacha, and Pokémon 300 Boss Battle Gacha. That's the kind of cross-site pull data most price guides simply don't have, and it's worth remembering that opening packs is still a gamble where most rips don't beat what you paid. If you want this card guaranteed, buying a known raw or graded copy on the secondary market is the safer route, but if you like the chase, those are the packs where it's actually shown up.

Question 4

How much is Blastoise worth?

Accepted Answer

A raw or ungraded copy of this Blastoise is valued at $552. Once you move up in grade, a Grade 9 sits at $4,359, and a PSA 10 reaches $30,995, so condition makes a massive difference to the final number.

Question 5

Is Blastoise worth grading?

Accepted Answer

It can be, since a PSA 10 is worth 56.2 times the raw price of $552. That said, only 93 out of 2,294 graded copies have hit PSA 10, so gem mint is far from guaranteed, and you should weigh grading fees against that real risk before sending it in.

Question 6

Why is the Blastoise Reverse Holo #4 print worth more than the standard one?

Accepted Answer

The reverse holo treatment gives the card a shinier, more eye-catching look that many collectors specifically seek out from the Expedition set, and that added demand is reflected in the raw price of $552 and the way values climb sharply through Grade 9 at $4,359 up to a PSA 10 at $30,995.
