Tap to open
Tirtouga is that steady little rock and water turtle from Japan's Black Bolt set, released back in 2011, and it's stuck around as a quiet favorite for collectors who like Naoyo Kimura's artwork and the charm of an uncommon card that still gets talked about years later. If you're here to figure out Tirtouga's value, the short answer is that it's an affordable card with a real ceiling if you land a great grade. It's the kind of card that won't break the bank raw, but tells an interesting story once you look at what graded copies actually sell for.

The collector's take on Tirtouga
Is Tirtouga worth grading?
So is Tirtouga worth grading? Raw copies sit at $4, a Grade 9 brings $8, and a PSA 10 jumps all the way to $31, which works out to about 7.9 times the raw price. That's a real gap, and it's tempting. But grading isn't free, and submission fees can quietly eat into a card that only costs $4 to begin with. The good news is that gem mint copies of Tirtouga aren't some impossible dream: a solid share of the graded population has actually landed PSA 10, so if your copy is centered well and free of the usual print and edge flaws, sending it in isn't a crazy bet. Just go in with your eyes open. Grading is a gamble on centering and surface, not a guarantee, and a Grade 9 result only gets you to $8.
How rare is Tirtouga?
Only 48 copies of Tirtouga have been graded in total, which tells you this isn't a card people are rushing to slab in bulk. Of those 48, 37 came back as PSA 10, meaning gem mint isn't rare among the graded pool itself, but the pool as a whole is tiny. That combination matters: low overall population keeps Tirtouga interesting to collectors building out Black Bolt sets, even if the dollar value stays modest. Scarcity here is less about chasing an elusive gem mint and more about the fact that so few people have bothered to grade this card at all.
Where can you pull Tirtouga?
We've tracked 51 real pulls of Tirtouga across pack sites, specifically on tilt-rips and courtyard, which gives us a genuine read on where this card actually shows up rather than just theory. The biggest recorded pull came in at $58, a nice reminder that even an uncommon can occasionally surprise you. Tirtouga has turned up in the Pokemon Dime Pack, Pokémon Starter Pack, The Amazing Chase Encore, Pokémon Pro Pack, and Dime Pack, so if you're hunting for it, those are the products worth watching. Just remember that pack opening is gambling by nature, and most rips don't come close to covering what you spent, so treat any pull as a bonus rather than a plan.
Questions people ask
How much is Tirtouga worth?+
A raw, ungraded Tirtouga is worth $4 right now. That's the baseline most collectors will see if they're buying or selling an unslabbed copy from the Black Bolt set.
Is Tirtouga worth grading?+
It can be, if you're confident in the card's condition. A PSA 10 sells for $31 versus $4 raw, a 7.9x jump, and with 37 of the 48 graded copies already hitting PSA 10, gem mint isn't out of reach. Just weigh that against grading fees before you submit, since a Grade 9 only brings $8.
How much is a PSA 10 Tirtouga worth?+
A PSA 10 Tirtouga is valued at $31. That's the top of the market for this card, well above the $4 raw price and the $8 a Grade 9 typically fetches.
