Blastoise: Rarity & Collectibility
Blastoise is a genuine Rare that print runs hold back, so collectors have to hunt for clean copies. Cataloged as Rare #031/149 of the Deck 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 (Rare, Deck Exclusives #031/149) changes hands at roughly $2.67, and desirability among set-builders keeps that number firm. Because demand concentrates on clean copies, surface wear is punished hard: a Near Mint example commands about $2.67, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $0.72. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $2.67, Lightly Played $2.17, Moderately Played $1.56, Heavily Played $1.09, Damaged $0.72 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Blastoise is valued near $1,000 — about 375x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Blastoise: 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) Blastoise sits around $1,000 — roughly 375x 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 $56.00, CGC 9.5 $11.50, PSA 8 $60.00 — 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.
