Is Blastoise a Good Investment?
Secret rare cards like Blastoise sit at the top of the collectibility pyramid. Their extreme pull rates make them naturally scarce, which tends to support long-term value. The current downward trend may represent a correction or shifting collector interest. Historically, Pokemon cards from popular sets tend to recover over longer time horizons. As with any collectible, values can fluctuate based on market conditions, format legality, nostalgia cycles, and overall demand in the Pokemon TCG market in 2026.
