Squirtle (131): Rarity & Collectibility
Squirtle (131) 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 #131/165 of the Expedition 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 (131)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Squirtle (131) (Common, Expedition #131/165) changes hands at roughly $90.00, 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 $90.00, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $38.09. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $90.00, Lightly Played $77.50, Moderately Played $55.56, Heavily Played $45.48, Damaged $38.09 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Squirtle (131) is valued near $1,525 — about 17x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Squirtle (131): 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 (131) sits around $1,525 — roughly 17x 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 $199.99, CGC 10 $299.00, CGC 9.5 $200.00 — 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.
