Blastoise ex: Rarity & Collectibility
Blastoise ex in its sought-after Holofoil variant is an Ultra Rare chase card, one of the headline pulls that most boosters never produce. Cataloged as Ultra Rare #200/165 of the SV: Scarlet & Violet 151 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 Blastoise ex?
In 2026, a Near Mint Blastoise ex (Ultra Rare, SV: Scarlet & Violet 151 #200/165) changes hands at roughly $175.54, and its scarcity does most of the heavy lifting on that figure. Because demand concentrates on clean copies, surface wear is punished hard: a Near Mint example commands about $175.54, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $54.68. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $175.54, Lightly Played $180.28, Moderately Played $72.13, Heavily Played $85.25, Damaged $54.68 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Blastoise ex is valued near $667.41 — about 3.8x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Blastoise ex: Gem Mint & Population
For a chase card like Blastoise ex, the high-grade market is where the real money lives. A PSA 10 (or CGC 10 / BGS Black Label equivalent) Blastoise ex sits around $667.41 — roughly 3.8x 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 $185.00, CGC 10 $450.00, CGC 9.5 $169.99 — 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.
