Summary

Blastoise [Holo] #9 from Japanese CD Promo cleared the screen on 2026-07-18 and was booked at $2075.00, the median of 9 PSA 10 sales in the 21 days to 2026-07-13. Population and gem rate on this reconstructed issue are cohort estimates, not PSA-sourced figures.

Rationale

Reconstructed issue. Entry is booked from PriceCharting evidence carried on 2026-07-18 itself: the median of 9 completed PSA 10 sales in the 21 days to 2026-07-13. PSA population: 3058 graded (requirement ≥ 50 graded copies) — pass. PSA 10 gem rate: 26.5% (requirement ≤ 30%) — pass. Trading volume: 895 sales / 12 months (requirement ≥ 60 recorded PSA 10 sales / 12 months) — pass. Set age window: 326 months since release (requirement Vintage / older set — no age window, activity required) — pass. Character durability: Blue-chip character (requirement Durable or blue-chip subject) — pass. Print scarcity: Holo (requirement Any vintage print) — pass. PSA 10 float growth: Not yet measurable (requirement Not diluting (≤ 60% annualised)) — pass. This is a chase card in Japanese CD Promo, a set far enough past release for the grading wave to have settled. Population and gem rate on this reconstructed issue are cohort estimates, not PSA-sourced figures.

Risk notes

This is a reconstructed historical issue, not a live call made on the day. Population and gem rate are modelled where PSA data is unavailable, so the scarcity side of the screen is weaker than on a live pick. Pokémon card values are highly speculative and can decline significantly. Not financial advice.
