Squirtle (22): Rarity & Collectibility
Squirtle (22) 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 #22/181 of the SM - Team Up 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 (22)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Squirtle (22) (Common, SM - Team Up #22/181) changes hands at roughly $6.54, 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 $6.54, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $2.00. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $6.54, Lightly Played $3.74, Moderately Played $2.91, Heavily Played $0.72, Damaged $2.00 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Squirtle (22) is valued near $88.33 — about 14x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Squirtle (22): 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 (22) sits around $88.33 — roughly 14x 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 $55.00, CGC 9.5 $49.00, PSA 8 $10.50 — 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.
