The collector's take on Absol ex
Is Absol ex worth grading?
Right now a raw, ungraded Absol ex runs about $3, and a PSA 10 sits at $65, which works out to roughly 21.7 times the raw price. That's a meaningful jump, and it's exactly why people ask whether grading is worth it. The honest answer is: it depends on the copy in your hand. Grading costs money and takes time, and gem mint 10s are genuinely hard to land, centering and corner wear trip up more cards than people expect. If you've got a copy that looks flawless under a loupe, it might be worth the gamble. If there's a visible whitening or an off-center print, you're likely better off keeping it raw or selling as-is rather than paying grading fees to land a Grade 9, which only brings $18.
How rare is it?
Across all the copies submitted for grading, only 1,504 have come back graded, and of those just 482 earned a PSA 10. That means gem mint copies make up a modest slice of the total graded population, which explains why PSA 10s command such a premium over raw copies. Scarcity at the top end is really what drives that price gap, it's not that the card is rare to find, it's that finding one in perfect condition is the hard part.
Where to pull it
We've tracked Absol ex being pulled 22 times across packs, Collector Crypt listings, and Courtyard, and the biggest single pull we've recorded came in at $311. It's shown up in a handful of specific packs too, including Catch 'em All: Obsidian Flames, the Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack, Wildcard Basic Pack, Starter Pokémon Gacha Pack, and EX Stampede I. That spread tells you it's not locked to one product, but it's also not a guaranteed pull either, opening packs chasing this card is still a gamble, and most rips won't cover their cost. If you want certainty over chance, buying a known copy off the secondary market is usually the more predictable route.
Questions people ask

Is Absol ex worth grading?+
It can be, since a PSA 10 sells for roughly 21.7 times the raw price. But gem mint 10s are genuinely tough to hit, so it only makes sense if your copy is in excellent shape to begin with, otherwise grading fees can eat into any upside.
What set is Absol ex from?+
Absol ex is card #214 from the Obsidian Flames set, released in 2023. It's an Ultra Rare illustrated by PLANETA Mochizuki, which is part of why it's such a popular card to pull or collect from that set.
