Squirtle — collector's take
Is Squirtle worth grading?
So is Squirtle worth grading? Let's walk through the math honestly. A raw copy is worth $107, a Grade 9 sits at $126, and a PSA 10 jumps up to $383, which works out to about 3.6 times the raw price. That gap looks tempting, but here's the catch: hitting a true gem mint 10 is not guaranteed, even on a card that looks perfect to the naked eye. Centering, edge wear, and surface flaws that you cannot always see will decide your grade, and grading fees plus shipping and turnaround time eat into any profit if you land a 9 instead of a 10. If you already love the card and want it protected, grading makes sense as a hobby decision. If you are doing it purely for the flip, treat it as a calculated risk, not a sure thing.
How rare is it?
Right now there are 37,485 graded copies of Squirtle on record, and of those, 14,851 have earned the coveted PSA 10 label. That is actually a fairly high proportion of gem mints for a modern Illustration Rare, which tells you the card is somewhat forgiving to pull and grade well, but it also means PSA 10 status alone will not make your copy rare. With a population this large, the value of $383 for a PSA 10 reflects steady demand more than extreme scarcity, so this is a card collectors chase for the art and the character, not because copies are hard to find.
Where to pull it
This is where PackSpy's own tracking comes in handy, because we are not just guessing, we are recording real pulls across real pack sites. Squirtle has been pulled 200 or more times across collector-crypt, courtyard, tilt-rips, and mnstr, and the biggest recorded pull we have logged came in at $700. You will most often see it turning up in Water Pack, Starter Pokémon Gacha Pack, Pokémon Starter Pack, Legendary Pokémon Gacha Pack, and Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack. Worth remembering: opening packs is gambling, and most rips do not cover their cost, so treat any pull of Squirtle as a nice bonus rather than an expectation.

Is Squirtle worth grading?
A PSA 10 is worth 3.6 times the raw price, which is a meaningful jump from $107 to $383. But grading costs money and gem mint copies are not guaranteed, so weigh the risk against how much you enjoy the card before sending it in.
