From 444 completed sales recorded between Feb 19, 2024 and Aug 17, 2026. Sold prices only — asking prices are never counted. The median above is computed over the 88 sales of the printing this page lists; 1st Edition and Shadowless copies are real sales of a different card and are shown separately rather than mixed in. The range is wide because these sales span different printings and conditions — 1st Edition, Shadowless and Unlimited copies all carry this card's name, and they trade at very different levels. Each sale above is labelled with what its listing claimed, so you can see which ones describe the same object. Treat the median as the typical copy, not the range.

The odds

Blastoise is a Holo / V / ex in Base — the pack's hit slot lands on Holo / V / ex 33% of the time, split across 16 holo / v / ex cards in the set, so pulling this exact card is roughly 1 in 48 packs.

Holo / V / ex33%16 cards
PSA 10 (gem mint)0.8%382 of 50,300
PSA 99.8%4,913 of 50,300
PSA graded so far50,300
Gem Mint 10382
Total graded50,300

Estimates only. Pack odds come from CardTrack's pack model (the same one behind the pack simulator) — not an official rate. Grading odds are the real cumulative PSA population, which skews toward nicer, resubmitted copies, so it overstates the true first-submission gem rate. Full grade-by-grade breakdown below.

⚖️ Risk-adjusted return

Best case isn't the whole story. Weighting every grade by how often it actually happens, across 50,300 PSA-graded copies:

Likely outcomeChanceValue
PSA 100.8%$7,987.00
PSA 99.8%$1,044.00
PSA ≤889.5%$226.00

Net = graded value − raw value − grading cost (tier fee + ~$20 round-trip shipping), using PSA fees as of 2026-06-28; the paused PSA Value tier is excluded so this isn't overstated. Gem rate is estimated from cumulative PSA population, which skews toward nicer, resubmitted copies — so it overstates the true grade rate. Treat it as a guide, not a guarantee.

Population across gradersPSA, CGC & BGS — every grade, with gem rates

Only 1% of 50,300 PSA-graded Blastoise copies are a gem-mint 10 (382 of 50,300) — the rest grade lower.
