Blastoise: Rarity & Collectibility
Blastoise in its sought-after Holofoil variant sits at the most plentiful end of the rarity scale — easy to pull and easy to find. Cataloged as Common #016/101 of the Blister Exclusives 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 Blastoise?
In 2026, a Near Mint Blastoise (Common, Blister Exclusives #016/101) changes hands at roughly $9.31, 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 $9.31, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $1.57. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $9.31, Lightly Played $6.25, Moderately Played $2.94, Heavily Played $1.85, Damaged $1.57 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value.

Collector Outlook for Blastoise
As a Common, Blastoise earns its place through set completion rather than chase appeal — but a binder is never finished without it. An accessible pickup whose pull is enjoyment and progress toward a finished set. Whether you are chasing it for a set or as a centerpiece, revisit Blastoise on RarePokemonCard — rarity demand in 2026 shifts with reprints, set nostalgia, and how few high-grade copies surface.
