PSA 10 Blastoise 2002 Expedition Pack

This psa 10 blastoise pack is a sealed 2002 Expedition booster with Blastoise wrapper art, graded a perfect PSA 10. PSA graded the pack itself under its Packs category and filed it by wrapper variety, so the nine cards inside stay sealed and ungraded. Blastoise fronts the wrapper, and that artwork never guarantees a Blastoise card inside. Search results for this pack drown in 1999 Base Set Blastoise packs, however, so read the set name carefully — this one is Expedition, the 2002 e-Series release.

What sits inside a psa 10 blastoise pack

Expedition Base Set launched the English e-Series on September 15, 2002, printed by Wizards of the Coast. The set holds 165 cards with no 1st Edition run, and every card carries e-Reader Dot Code strips for the Nintendo e-Reader. A pack holds nine cards: five commons, then two uncommons, one reverse holo, and one rare or rare holo. Blastoise is one of four wrapper artworks, alongside Charizard, Venusaur, and Feraligatr. Bulbapedia’s Expedition Base Set page documents the set in full.

A population PSA states plainly

PSA’s own certificate pages put the Blastoise variety at a PSA 10 population of 49, with none graded higher. Three separate certificate pages agree on that figure, so it replaces the older seller claims still floating around listing titles. Ungraded Blastoise-art Expedition packs also trade actively, which underlines that the wrapper itself draws demand before grading enters the picture. None of that changes what is inside, though — the contents remain a sealed unknown. Our graded cards shelf holds the other Expedition wrappers.

Frequently Asked

Does a psa 10 blastoise pack guarantee a Blastoise card?
No. Blastoise is the wrapper artwork, and the nine e-Reader cards inside stay random. Opening the pack would reveal them, but it would also end the grade.

Is this the 1999 Base Set Blastoise pack?
No. This pack is from Expedition Base Set (2002), the first e-Series set, with Dot Code borders and nine-card packs. Base Set packs hold eleven cards and carry no Dot Codes.
