Wartortle (Japanese): Rarity & Collectibility
Wartortle (Japanese) 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 #002/032 of the Pokemon TCG Classic: Blastoise 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 (Japanese)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Wartortle (Japanese) (Common, Pokemon TCG Classic: Blastoise #002/032) changes hands at roughly $6.56, 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 $6.56, whereas a Lightly Played one slides to around $4.85. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Wartortle (Japanese) is valued near $52.95 — about 8.1x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Wartortle (Japanese): 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 (Japanese) sits around $52.95 — roughly 8.1x 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 $18.50, CGC 10 $44.00, CGC 9.5 $19.95 — 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.
