Tap to open
Absol #23 comes from the Japanese Dark Order set, and it's the kind of card that quietly builds a following among collectors who like their Pokemon with a bit of an edge, that white-furred, single-horned look has always stood out from the pack. If you're here checking Absol value, the short answer is that it's an accessible card, with raw copies sitting at $3 and graded versions climbing from there. It's not a chase card in the traditional sense, but it's got real pull history and a clear price ladder, which makes it a fun one to actually understand rather than just glance at.

The collector's take on Absol
Is Absol worth grading?
Here's the honest math on Absol price by grade: raw sits at $3, a Grade 9 brings $11, and a PSA 10 sits at $29, which works out to about 9.7 times the raw price. That's a real jump percentage-wise, but in dollar terms it's still a small amount of money once you factor in what grading actually costs. Of the 80 copies graded so far, 61 came back PSA 10, so gem mint isn't some impossible feat for this card, the odds of hitting it look decent. Still, with grading fees, shipping, and the wait time, you'd want to run the numbers before sending in a stack of these, because at this price point the fees can easily outweigh the upside. If you already own a sharp-looking copy and grading is cheap or bundled with other cards, it might be worth a shot. If you're buying raw copies specifically to grade for profit, that's a tougher case.
How rare is Absol?
Only 80 copies of Absol have been graded in total, and 61 of those are PSA 10, which tells you two things. First, this isn't a card people have rushed to get slabbed in huge numbers, the population is genuinely small across the board. Second, when people do grade it, gem mint is the common outcome rather than the exception, with only a handful landing at Grade 9 or below. That combination keeps the PSA 10 price from spiking wildly since supply and demand are both modest, but it also means finding a graded copy, in any grade, isn't something you'll do every day.
Where can you pull Absol?
We've tracked 73 recorded pulls of Absol across tilt-rips, courtyard, collector-crypt, lastpack, and mnstr, so this isn't a card that only shows up on the secondary market, it does get opened. It's turned up in packs like the Pokemon Dime Pack, Pokémon Pro Pack, Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack, Wildcard Basic Pack, and Starter Pokémon Gacha Pack, so there's a reasonable spread of places it can appear. The biggest recorded pull tied to this card came in at $474, which is a good reminder that pack odds can occasionally hand you something well above the everyday price. That said, most pack openings don't land anywhere near that number, opening packs is a gamble more than an investment strategy, and our pull data is exactly the kind of real-world evidence that a static price guide can't give you.
