Tap to open
Wartortle is that familiar, friendly middle stage of the Squirtle line, the one everyone remembers fondly from those first few years of Pokemon, and this particular version comes from Base Set 2, released back in 2000 with artwork by Ken Sugimori. It's an uncommon card, so it was never the chase pull of the set, but there's something about its clean, simple design that keeps collectors coming back to it. If you're trying to figure out Wartortle value right now, the short answer is that raw copies sit at $2, which tells you this is a card people collect more for love of the set than for a big payday.

The collector's take on Wartortle
Is Wartortle worth grading?
Here's where it gets interesting. A raw Wartortle sits at $2, but a PSA 10 brings $122, which works out to about 61.9 times the raw price. That's a real jump, and it's the kind of number that gets people excited about sending cards in. But be honest with yourself here: hitting a true gem mint 10 on a card from 2000 isn't easy. Base Set 2 cards have had two decades to pick up whitening, edge wear, and centering issues, and grading fees plus shipping and turnaround time add up fast whether or not you land that 10. A Grade 9 comes in at $31, which is still a nice bump over raw, so if your copy isn't flawless there's still a reasonable outcome waiting. If you've got a copy that looks sharp under a loupe with clean corners and centering, it's worth considering. If it's got visible wear, save your grading fee and enjoy it raw.
How rare is Wartortle?
As an uncommon card from Base Set 2, Wartortle wasn't printed with the scarcity of a holo rare or a first edition card, so raw copies tend to be easy to track down and affordable, which is exactly why the $2 raw price makes sense. What gets harder is finding copies that have survived in genuinely gem mint condition. Uncommons from this era were often handled more casually since they weren't seen as the valuable cards at the time, tossed in binders and shoeboxes without much thought. That casual treatment over the years is a big part of why a well preserved, high grade example commands a real premium over its raw counterpart, even for a card that was never rare to pull in the first place.
Where can you pull Wartortle?
This is where PackSpy's own tracking comes in handy, because we don't just guess at this stuff, we record real pulls across pack sites. Wartortle has shown up 200 or more times across platforms like collector-crypt, courtyard, mnstr, tilt-rips, and packs, so it's not some ghost card that never surfaces. The single biggest recorded pull for this card came in at $440, which shows what's possible when someone lands a sharp copy or grades it up. We've also tracked it appearing in packs like the Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack, Pokémon Starter Pack, Pack 5, Pokemon Dime Pack, and Legendary Pokémon Gacha Pack. Worth saying plainly: opening packs is a gamble, and most rips don't come close to covering their cost, so treat any pull as a bonus rather than a plan.
Questions people ask
How much is Wartortle worth?+
A raw, ungraded Wartortle from Base Set 2 is worth $2 right now. That's the realistic starting point if you're wondering how much is Wartortle worth in typical played or lightly handled condition, with graded copies commanding more depending on the grade.
Is Wartortle worth grading?+
It depends on the condition of your copy. A PSA 10 brings $122 against a $2 raw price, which is a real difference, but gem mint copies of this 2000 uncommon are genuinely hard to find, and grading fees eat into any profit if your card doesn't grade high. If it looks pack fresh with sharp corners and good centering, it's worth a shot.
How much is a PSA 10 Wartortle worth?+
A PSA 10 Wartortle is valued at $122, compared to $31 for a Grade 9 and $2 for a raw copy. That works out to about 61.9 times the raw price, which shows just how much condition and grade can matter on this one.
