Squirtle (Japanese): Rarity & Collectibility
Squirtle (Japanese) sits at the most plentiful end of the rarity scale — easy to pull and easy to find. Cataloged as Common #007/165 of the SV2a: Pokemon Card 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 Squirtle (Japanese)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Squirtle (Japanese) (Common, SV2a: Pokemon Card 151 #007/165) changes hands at roughly $0.18, 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 $0.18, whereas a Moderately Played one slides to around $0.01. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $0.18, Lightly Played $0.10, Moderately Played $0.01 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Squirtle (Japanese) is valued near $64.61 — about 359x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Squirtle (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) Squirtle (Japanese) sits around $64.61 — roughly 359x 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 $179.99, CGC 10 $36.99, CGC 9.5 $35.59 — 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.

Collector Outlook for Squirtle (Japanese)
As a Common, Squirtle (Japanese) earns its place through set completion rather than chase appeal — but a binder is never finished without it. Collect it for completeness and the joy of the hunt; its appeal is the set, not the ceiling. Whether you are chasing it for a set or as a centerpiece, revisit Squirtle (Japanese) on RarePokemonCard — rarity demand in 2026 shifts with reprints, set nostalgia, and how few high-grade copies surface.
