Wartortle (Japanese): Rarity & Collectibility
Wartortle (Japanese) sits at the most plentiful end of the rarity scale — easy to pull and easy to find. Cataloged as Common #002/010 of the Battle Starter Deck (Blastoise) set, it is the kind of card RarePokemonCard tracks for scarcity and collector demand rather than raw price alone. The harder a card is to pull in top condition, the more weight serious collectors place on it.
How Rare & Valuable Is Wartortle (Japanese)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Wartortle (Japanese) (Common, Battle Starter Deck (Blastoise) #002/010) changes hands at roughly $5.60, and availability keeps it within easy reach for collectors. Because demand concentrates on clean copies, surface wear is punished hard: a Near Mint example commands about $5.60, whereas a Moderately Played one slides to around $2.00. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $5.60, Lightly Played $3.99, Moderately Played $2.00 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Wartortle (Japanese) is valued near $167.59 — about 30x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Wartortle (Japanese): Gem Mint & Population
Even for a card at this rarity, the top of the market belongs to certified gem-mint copies. A PSA 10 (or CGC 10 / BGS Black Label equivalent) Wartortle (Japanese) sits around $167.59 — roughly 30x a raw copy. That gap exists because relatively few examples ever earn a perfect grade, so gem-mint population is the real scarcity collectors chase. The rule of thumb for collectors: the rarer the card, the more a certified high grade matters to its standing.
