Houndoom Reverse Holo #7 Value
Unseen Forces · Card 7/117 · Rare · 2005
Houndoom Reverse Holo #7 comes from Unseen Forces, that shadowy 2005 set that gave us some of the moodiest artwork of the era, and this one is no exception thanks to Midori Harada's illustration. It's classed as a Rare, and if you're here trying to pin down Houndoom's value, the short answer is that a raw copy runs $74, which feels about right for a card of this age and rarity. Collectors love it because it's affordable enough to actually own but scarce enough at the top end to feel like a real chase card.

Houndoom — collector's take
Is Houndoom worth grading?
So is Houndoom worth grading? Here's the honest math: a raw copy sits at $74, a Grade 9 climbs to $146, and a PSA 10 jumps all the way to $2,835, which works out to 38.1 times the raw price. That's a real gap, and it's tempting. But gem mint is genuinely hard to land, especially on a card from 2005 where centering and surface wear tend to show their age. Grading fees, turnaround time, and the chance you get back a 7 or 8 instead of a 10 are all real costs, so weigh whether you're grading because you believe in this specific copy's condition, or just chasing the number. If your card has sharp corners and clean edges under good light, it might be worth the gamble. If it's borderline, sometimes it's smarter to just enjoy it raw.
How rare is it?
Across all grading submissions, only 282 copies of Houndoom have been graded, and of those, just 20 have earned a PSA 10. That's a pretty tight ceiling. When you consider how few copies exist in gem mint condition compared to the raw population out there, it makes sense why that top grade commands such a premium. Scarcity like this doesn't just affect bragging rights, it directly shapes what people are willing to pay when a true PSA 10 comes up for sale.
Where to pull it
PackSpy tracks real pack pulls across sites, not just price guide estimates, and Houndoom has shown up once so far, recorded on Collector Crypt, with the biggest pull value we've logged at $304. It's also been spotted in Anime Pop Culture Gacha style packs. That single recorded pull tells you something important: this isn't a card you should expect to rip open in a pack anytime soon. Most collectors who want Houndoom end up buying it on the secondary market rather than hoping to pull it, and that's worth remembering before you go all in on packs chasing it. Opening packs is fun, but it's a gamble, and most rips don't pay for themselves.
Questions people ask
How much is Houndoom worth?
A raw, ungraded Houndoom Reverse Holo #7 is valued at $74. Once graded, a Grade 9 sits at $146, and a PSA 10 reaches $2,835, so condition makes a big difference to what this card is actually worth.
Is Houndoom worth grading?
It can be, since a PSA 10 is worth 38.1 times the raw price. But only 20 out of 282 graded copies have hit that gem mint grade, so it's a real risk, not a sure thing. Grade it if you genuinely trust the condition, not just for the potential payout.
What set is Houndoom from?
Houndoom Reverse Holo #7 comes from the Unseen Forces set, released in 2005. It's a Rare card illustrated by Midori Harada, and it's held onto a following thanks to that moody artwork and its Reverse Holo treatment.
