What Is Blastoise (Japanese) Worth?
Blastoise (Japanese) (Holofoil variant) is a Rare card in the S10b: Pokemon GO set, card number 017/071. On PokeCardWorth we focus on one question — what is it actually worth — and at its current valuation, it is an affordable, easy-to-find card best valued as part of a complete set rather than on its own.
Blastoise (Japanese) Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Blastoise (Japanese) (S10b: Pokemon GO, 017/071) is worth around $0.97 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $0.97, while a Moderately Played one drops to roughly $0.62. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $0.97, Lightly Played $0.89, Moderately Played $0.62 — so grading the condition correctly before you buy or sell matters more than almost anything else. A PSA 10 (Gem Mint) example is valued near $29.00 — about 30x the raw price, which is the single biggest swing in this card's value. PSA 9 copies sit around $8.76.
Is It Worth Grading Blastoise (Japanese)?
Grading Blastoise (Japanese) can pay off concretely: the gap between its raw value ($0.97) and a PSA 10 ($29.00) is about $28.03 — a 30x uplift before grading fees. Other graded tiers we track: PSA 9 $8.76, CGC 10 $20.00, CGC 9.5 $15.25. At this value grading rarely makes sense — the fee usually exceeds the card's worth.
