Blastoise V - SWSH101: Rarity & Collectibility
Blastoise V - SWSH101 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 #SWSH101 of the SWSH: Sword & Shield Promo Cards 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 V - SWSH101?
In 2026, a Near Mint Blastoise V - SWSH101 (Common, SWSH: Sword & Shield Promo Cards #SWSH101) 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 Damaged one slides to around $3.48. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $6.56, Lightly Played $5.62, Moderately Played $4.78, Heavily Played $3.32, Damaged $3.48 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Blastoise V - SWSH101 is valued near $179.99 — about 27x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Blastoise V - SWSH101: 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) Blastoise V - SWSH101 sits around $179.99 — roughly 27x 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 CGC 10 $50.00 — 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.
