Squirtle: Rarity & Collectibility
Squirtle in its sought-after Reverse_Holofoil variant sits at the most plentiful end of the rarity scale — easy to pull and easy to find. Cataloged as Common #29/149 of the Boundaries Crossed 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 Squirtle?
In 2026, a Near Mint Squirtle (Common, Boundaries Crossed #29/149) changes hands at roughly $36.75, 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 $36.75, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $19.99. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $36.75, Lightly Played $26.81, Moderately Played $23.59, Heavily Played $14.28, Damaged $19.99 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Squirtle is valued near $250.00 — about 6.8x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Squirtle: 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) Squirtle sits around $250.00 — roughly 6.8x 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. Step down a notch and demand spreads across PSA 9 $225.00, PSA 8 $25.00 — each tier a smaller, scarcer pool than the one below it. The rule of thumb for collectors: the rarer the card, the more a certified high grade matters to its standing.
