The collector's take on Squirtle
Is Squirtle worth grading?
So is Squirtle worth grading? Here's the honest math: a raw, ungraded copy sits around $5, a Grade 9 climbs to $12, and a true PSA 10 gem mint copy runs about $43, which works out to roughly 9.3 times what the raw card fetches. That jump looks tempting on paper, but grading fees, shipping, and the wait add up fast, and hitting that gem mint grade isn't guaranteed even on a card that looks perfect to your eye. If you already own a sharp-cornered copy and you're doing it for the love of the card as much as the return, it can be worth sending in. If you're doing pure math on a $5 card, the margins are thin once you factor in what grading actually costs.
How rare is Squirtle?
We don't have exact population numbers to lean on for Squirtle, which itself tells you something: this isn't a card with a scoreboard of headline-grabbing pop reports driving speculation. The Old Maid set was a casual, widely distributed release rather than a tightly controlled premium print run, so Squirtle sits in that lower-value tier where scarcity isn't really the story, condition is. That's exactly why the price gap between raw and PSA 10 exists at all: it's not about how few copies survive, it's about how few survive in gem mint shape.
Where can you pull Squirtle?
This is where our data actually helps. PackSpy has tracked 200 or more real pulls of Squirtle across sites like tilt-rips, courtyard, collector-crypt, mnstr, and general packs, so we know this card genuinely shows up rather than just existing in price guides. It's turned up in the Pokemon Dime Pack, Pokémon Starter Pack, Starter Pokémon Gacha Pack, Pokemon Dollar Pack, and Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack, and one recorded pull on our tracker even hit $4,500, a reminder of how wildly pull outcomes can swing on any given rip. Worth saying plainly: opening packs is a gamble, and most rips don't beat what you paid, so treat any pull as a bonus rather than a plan.
Questions people ask
How much is Squirtle worth?+
A raw, ungraded Squirtle from the Old Maid set is valued at around $5. Once you factor in grading, a Grade 9 copy is worth about $12, while a PSA 10 gem mint copy reaches $43.
Is Squirtle worth grading?+
It depends on your goals. The value jump from raw to PSA 10 is about 9.3 times, which sounds great, but grading costs and the difficulty of hitting a perfect gem mint grade eat into that margin, so it's more of a passion move than a guaranteed profit play on a card in this price range.
How much is a PSA 10 Squirtle worth?+
A PSA 10 Squirtle currently carries a value of $43, which is about 9.3 times what you'd get for a raw, ungraded copy. It's the top of the value ladder for this card, sitting well above the $12 mark for a Grade 9.
