Squirtle #93 value & price

Tap to open
Squirtle #93 is one of those cards almost every collector met before they knew what a Charizard was, the little blue turtle from Base Set 2, illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita and released back in 2000. It's a Common, so it was never meant to be rare, but two decades on plenty of people still search Squirtle value just to see what nostalgia is worth these days. Right now that answer sits at $2 raw, which tells you this is a card people chase for the memory as much as the money.

The collector's take on Squirtle
Is Squirtle worth grading?
Here's the honest math: a raw Squirtle sits at $2, while a PSA 10 comes in at $548, and PackSpy's data puts that jump at 262.2 times the raw price. That sounds tempting, but gem mint is genuinely hard to land, only 656 of the 3,497 graded copies out there have earned a PSA 10, so most submissions land at Grade 9 or below. Grading costs money and takes time, and with a Grade 9 sitting at $893, oddly higher than the PSA 10 figure here, it's worth checking current numbers before you send anything in. If your copy has sharp corners, clean edges and no whitening, it's worth a shot, but treat grading as a calculated bet, not a guarantee.
How rare is Squirtle?
Out of all the Squirtle cards ever pulled or pulled from packs over the years, only 3,497 have been graded at all, and just 656 of those made it to PSA 10. That's a small slice sitting at the very top, which is part of why gem mint copies carry so much more weight than the raw card. Scarcity at the high end is really what drives the price gap here, plenty of Squirtles exist in the wild, but pristine ones are the ones collectors are willing to pay up for.
Where can you pull Squirtle?
PackSpy has tracked Squirtle being pulled 200 or more times across sites like courtyard, collector-crypt, tilt-rips, mnstr and packs, so this isn't a card that's vanished from circulation, it still shows up. The biggest recorded pull value we've logged for it hit $4,500, a reminder that even a common card can land in a slot worth chasing under the right conditions. We've also seen it turn up in packs like The Amazing Chase Encore, Pokémon Starter Pack, Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack, Starter Pokémon Gacha Pack and Pokemon Dime Pack. That said, opening packs is still a gamble, most rips don't beat what you paid, so if you're chasing Squirtle specifically, buying a known raw or graded copy is usually the steadier route.
