The 1999 Base Wartortle #42 is a Pokémon card released in 1999. Ungraded copies carry a market value of about $4.25.
An ungraded copy is worth around $4.25, a PSA 9 around $799.99 and a PSA 10 (Gem Mint) around $360.00. That's roughly a 85× premium for a gem-mint copy over raw — one of the clearest signals that condition-sensitive buyers dominate this card's market.
Is it worth grading?
With raw copies near $4.25 and top grades reaching $360.00, grading a sharp copy of this card can clearly pay for itself — the spread comfortably covers a typical ~$25.00 grading fee. The catch: only submit copies with strong centering, clean corners, and unmarked surfaces, because anything below a 9 usually erases the math.
