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 #21/108 of the XY - Evolutions 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, XY - Evolutions #21/108) changes hands at roughly $5.58, 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 $5.58, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $1.90. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $5.58, Lightly Played $4.30, Moderately Played $3.68, Heavily Played $2.64, Damaged $1.90 — 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 $72.00 — about 13x 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 $72.00 — roughly 13x 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 $29.00, CGC 10 $37.00, CGC 9.5 $19.50 — 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.
