The collector's take on Squirtle
Is Squirtle worth grading?
So is it worth grading? Here's the honest math. A raw, ungraded Squirtle runs $69, a Grade 9 jumps to $274, and a true PSA 10 sits at $1,151, which works out to about 16.6 times what the raw card is worth. That's a real jump, and it's tempting. But gem mint is genuinely hard to hit, this is a vintage-style Common with plenty of room for print and centering issues, and grading fees plus turnaround time eat into any profit if your copy comes back a 9 instead of a 10. If you already own a clean, sharp copy and you're patient, grading can pay off. If you're buying raw specifically to gamble on a 10, go in knowing the odds aren't guaranteed in your favor.
How rare is Squirtle?
Right now there are 485 graded copies of Squirtle on record, and of those, only 125 have earned that coveted PSA 10 label. That's roughly a quarter of graded copies hitting gem mint, which isn't razor thin, but it's far from common either. For a set that's been around since 2023, that population gives you a real sense of how many collectors have gone through the trouble of grading this card, and it helps explain why that PSA 10 price sits so far above the raw and Grade 9 figures. Scarcity at the top end is what keeps gem mint copies desirable even for a Common card like this one.
Where can you pull Squirtle?
This is where PackSpy's own data comes in handy, because we track real pulls across pack sites, not just guide prices. Squirtle has been pulled 200 or more times across collector-crypt, courtyard, tilt-rips, and mnstr, so it's genuinely out there in circulation, not some rumor of a card. The biggest recorded pull value we've logged for it sits at $865, which gives you a sense of what a great grade or a lucky market moment can do. We've seen it turn up in the Elite Pokemon Gacha Pack, the Pokemon Starter Pack, the Water Pack, and the Legendary Pokemon Gacha Pack, so if you're chasing one from a live pack rather than buying on the secondary market, those are good places to start. Just remember, opening packs is a gamble, and most rips don't come out ahead, so treat any pull as a bonus rather than an expectation.
