Why prices differ

TCGplayer market asking prices$32.35+36%
Recent sold median 73 completed sales$14.99−37%

TCGplayer's figure is what sellers are asking on their marketplace, not what copies sold for — an asking price sits above a completed sale because it is the start of a negotiation, not the end of one. Our price comes from those same completed sales, adjusted to Near Mint — the median below mixes every condition together, and most copies that change hands are played rather than mint.

From 139 completed sales recorded between Aug 11, 2025 and Sep 1, 2026. Sold prices only — asking prices are never counted. The median above is computed over the 109 sales of the printing this page lists; reverse holo 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.

Is M Blastoise-EX worth grading?

The odds

M Blastoise-EX is a Holo / V / ex in XY — the pack's hit slot lands on Holo / V / ex 28.6% of the time, split across 24 holo / v / ex cards in the set, so pulling this exact card is roughly 1 in 84 packs.

Holo / V / ex28.6%24 cards

PSA 927.4%254 of 928
PSA graded so far928
Gem Mint 10277
Total graded928

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 890 PSA-graded copies:

Likely outcomeChanceValue
PSA 1029.6%$375.00
PSA 927.4%$37.00
PSA ≤843%$25.00

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 & TAG — every grade, with gem rates

Only 30% of 928 PSA-graded M Blastoise-EX copies are a gem-mint 10 (277 of 928) — the rest grade lower.

“Sold” = median of real recent sold listings at that grade (eBay or Fanatics Collect — hover a badge to see which). “Modelled” = no verified graded sale behind the figure; it is derived from the raw price and reference guides, so treat it as a ceiling to check, not a price to quote. Confidence reflects source backing and price spread — not PSA-official values.

For context: a graded PSA 7 slab of this card sells for about $15 (cert-verified) — a heavily-played raw copy shouldn't cost much more than that.
