Blastoise #2: rarity, grading and trend
Blastoise #2 is a Rare Holo Pokémon card from Base Set 2, the Base era (2000). It ranks as number 2 by price out of 130 cards in the set, so it is one of the cards collectors chase when opening packs. The PSA 10 premium is only about $-43.41 over raw, so grading rarely leaves much profit after fees and shipping. Its price has held almost flat over the last 30 days ($132.79 to $131.62). The illustration is by Ken Sugimori.
