Wartortle: Rarity & Collectibility
Wartortle 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 #002/034 of the Trading Card Game Classic 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 Wartortle?
In 2026, a Near Mint Wartortle (Common, Trading Card Game Classic #002/034) changes hands at roughly $4.77, 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 $4.77, whereas a Moderately Played one slides to around $2.99. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $4.77, Lightly Played $3.51, Moderately Played $2.99 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Wartortle is valued near $66.69 — about 14x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Wartortle: 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) Wartortle sits around $66.69 — 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 $31.33, CGC 10 $45.00, CGC 9.5 $20.00 — 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.
