Squirtle: Rarity & Collectibility
Squirtle sits at the most plentiful end of the rarity scale — easy to pull and easy to find. Cataloged as Common #014/017 of the POP Series 4 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, POP Series 4 #014/017) changes hands at roughly $42.25, 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 $42.25, whereas a Heavily Played one slides to around $18.95. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $42.25, Lightly Played $28.60, Moderately Played $15.73, Heavily Played $18.95 — 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 $405.01 — about 9.6x 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 $405.01 — roughly 9.6x 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 $34.00, CGC 10 $110.00, CGC 9.5 $33.00 — 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.
