# Blastoise V (水箭龟V) (Chinese) #129 — CS3bC (洪荒演武 激)

## Summary

A super rare full-art slot like this one is where a Simplified Chinese set keeps its chase weight, and Blastoise V sits there in CS3bC, which reached mainland China in November 2023. The art fills the frame with Blastoise planted square to the viewer, shell glowing gold-yellow, cannons raised against swirling blue water. Kanto's final Water starter has always pulled collectors, which is why this V gets chased. The modelled guide sits at $30, down 1% over 30 days on 7 copies traded; no PSA population is on file, and a CGC 10 would fetch about $240 against $45 in grading fees.
