I actually have the card; I’m considering selling it if the price is right, but I’m not sure what that is, haha. Not sure what I’d pay for one either (I’m not collecting the shadowless base set or any blastoise cards myself)
BGS 9.5s underprice compared to PSA 10s. I’d assume between $600- $800. That Blastoise has a good shot to get a 10 too. The buyer will have cross grading fees to cover though. If the demand is there, who knows how much the market is willing to pay.
1st ed Blastoise were going for $650 a year ago, now I’m getting outbid with these hitting 2k. This far surpassed my estimated price increase when I sold my most recent copy. Time is in the favor of the holder.
It’s been pretty crazy seeing blastoise jump up in price this much, but maybe not completely unexpected. It’s definitely the 2nd most popular card from the set, so the demand is there for sure.
