The collector's take on Blastoise V
Is Blastoise V worth grading?
Here's the honest math on Blastoise V price jumps: a raw copy sits at $4, a Grade 9 climbs to $19, and a PSA 10 lands at $41, which works out to about 9.4 times the raw price. That's a real multiplier, but grading isn't free and it isn't guaranteed, you're paying submission fees and waiting on turnaround time with no promise the card comes back gem mint. If your copy already looks sharp under a light, corners clean, centering solid, no whitening, it's worth considering. If it's got soft edges or print lines, save your money and keep it raw, the jump only pays off when the card actually grades high.
How rare is Blastoise V?
Across all grading companies, 1,765 copies of Blastoise V have been graded, and of those, 1,204 came back PSA 10. That's actually a pretty high gem rate compared to a lot of cards on the market, which helps explain why the PSA 10 premium isn't more extreme than it is. It also tells you something useful: a PSA 10 here is desirable, but it's not a needle in a haystack, so the value stays grounded rather than spiking the way truly scarce gem mint pops sometimes do.
Where can you pull Blastoise V?
We've tracked Blastoise V getting pulled 200 or more times across pack sites including courtyard, packs, collector-crypt, mnstr, lastpack, and tilt-rips, so this isn't a card sitting only on the secondary market, it genuinely turns up in rips. It's shown up in the Pokémon Master Pack, Celebrations Pack, Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack, Pokémon Starter Pack, and Pokémon Basic Pack, and the biggest single pull we've recorded for this card hit $1,700. That figure is the outlier, not the norm, most pulls land far closer to that $4 raw baseline, and opening packs chasing a specific card is a gamble where the odds usually favor the house. Still, knowing where it's actually surfaced gives you a real edge over just guessing at a price guide.
Questions people ask
How much is Blastoise V worth?+
A raw, ungraded Blastoise V is worth $4 right now. Graded copies are worth more, with a Grade 9 sitting at $19 and a PSA 10 reaching $41, so condition and grading make a real difference to the final number.
Is Blastoise V worth grading?+
It can be, since a PSA 10 sells for about 9.4 times what a raw copy goes for, jumping from $4 to $41. But grading costs money and takes time, and with 1,204 of the 1,765 graded copies already landing PSA 10, gem mint is achievable if your card is clean, just don't submit a copy with visible flaws expecting a miracle.
What set is Blastoise V from?+
Blastoise V, card #1, comes from the Japanese Blastoise VMAX Starter Set, a set built around Blastoise as its centerpiece card.
