Grading math for this card
Prefilled with the latest qualifying sale for each grade where one exists. Replace any value with your own. We never suggest what grade your copy will get.
Formula from Grading: condition, uncertainty, and economics: grading pays only if your honest chance of the high grade exceeds (raw net + cost − other-outcome net) ÷ (high-grade net − other-outcome net). The 13% fee is an editable assumption, not a quoted tariff.
About Blastoise ex
Blastoise ex 200/165 is the English Special Illustration Rare Blastoise from Scarlet & Violet-151. Collectors search for it because it is the highest-rarity Blastoise artwork in the English 151 set and part of the Kanto starter SIR group.
Why this card matters
Verified factBlastoise ex 200/165 sits in the English Scarlet & Violet-151 checklist above the normal-set Blastoise ex and the Ultra Rare Blastoise ex, so exact collector number is essential. The card combines a first-generation Pokemon with the Scarlet & Violet Special Illustration Rare treatment, which makes it a set-completion target rather than a generic Blastoise search. The official checklist places it among the numbered secret-range cards in 151, while marketplace identity pages separate it from Japanese and lower-rarity versions. [1][2]
Identifying the exact version
Verified factThe correct English version has number 200/165, the set name 151, and the Special Illustration Rare finish. The closest mistakes are the Japanese Pokemon Card 151 Blastoise ex 202/165, the English 151 Ultra Rare 184/165, and regular double rare 009/165. A listing that only says "Blastoise ex 151" is incomplete for valuation. The artist attribution used here is Mitsuhiro Arita from card identity references, and the language is kept separate because English and Japanese populations and sales are not interchangeable. [1][2]
What moves the price between versions and grades
AnalysisFor this card, condition and grade separation are large enough that raw, PSA 9, and PSA 10 should not be averaged. PSA sale records show PSA 10 comparables in late August and September 2026 well above PSA 9 comparables from April 2026. That difference is not proof that every raw card should be graded; chapter 04 requires comparing likely grading outcomes, costs, and the raw exit value. Population growth is also relevant because this is a modern card with continuing submissions. [3][4][5]
Authenticity checks
Verified factCompare the card against official 151 references and a known authentic English 200/165 copy, checking the collector number, text layout, texture, foil, card size, back design, and edge quality together. Do not use destructive tests. For slabs, match the cert record to the label and photos, but do not treat a valid number as complete authentication because copied cert numbers exist. For raw cards, require original front, back, corner, and angled-surface photos before using any price comp. [6][7]
