Wartortle: Rarity & Collectibility
Wartortle in its sought-after Reverse_Holofoil variant is an Uncommon, slightly scarcer than the base cards but still widely available. Cataloged as Uncommon #50/112 of the FireRed & LeafGreen 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?
In 2026, a Near Mint Wartortle (Uncommon, FireRed & LeafGreen #50/112) changes hands at roughly $42.65, 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 $42.65, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $8.18. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $42.65, Lightly Played $23.63, Moderately Played $25.98, Heavily Played $13.94, Damaged $8.18 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Wartortle is valued near $250.00 — about 5.9x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Wartortle: 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 sits around $250.00 — roughly 5.9x 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 $99.95, CGC 10 $179.50, CGC 9.5 $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.
