Tap to open
Houndour might be a small, snarling Dark type pup, but this particular printing has a soft spot in a lot of collector hearts. The Reverse Holo #59 comes from the 2004 Team Rocket Returns set, illustrated by Naoyo Kimura, and even though it carries a plain old Common rarity tag, that shimmering reverse foil treatment makes it a card people actively hunt down. If you are digging into Houndour value right now, you are looking at a raw card that sits at $59, which is a solid number for a Common from this era.

The collector's take on Houndour
Is Houndour worth grading?
So is it worth sending Houndour off to get graded? Here is the honest math: a raw copy runs $59, a Grade 9 climbs to $204, and a true PSA 10 gem mint copy is valued at $1,938, which works out to about 32.8 times what the raw card sells for. That gap is real money, but getting a 10 is genuinely tough. Reverse holos show every little scratch and print line under bright light, so centering and surface issues knock a lot of submissions down to a 9 or lower. Add in grading fees and turnaround time, and this only makes sense if your raw copy already looks close to flawless under a loupe. If it has any soft corners or a whitened edge, you are usually better off keeping it raw or selling as is rather than gambling on the grade.
How rare is Houndour?
We do not have official population numbers to point to here, but the pricing itself tells a story. A Common card from a 2004 set does not usually carry this kind of spread between raw and PSA 10, and that spread is a pretty strong hint that gem mint copies are hard to come by. Print runs from this era were not treated with today's collector care, so a lot of these Houndour cards have been shuffled through binders and trade piles for two decades, picking up wear along the way. The ones that survived in sharp condition are the exception, not the rule, and that scarcity is exactly why a clean PSA 10 commands the kind of price it does.
Where can you pull Houndour?
Here is where PackSpy's data actually helps rather than just repeating a price guide. We track real pack pulls across online break and mystery pack sites, and as of now we have not recorded a single Houndour Reverse Holo #59 pull anywhere in our system. That tells you plainly this is not a card you should expect to open. Team Rocket Returns product is old and increasingly scarce on the pack-opening circuit, so if you want this specific Houndour, your realistic path is the secondary market rather than chasing it through pack sites. And if you are opening packs hoping to land it, remember the bigger picture: most rips do not pay for themselves, so treat it as fun first and investment second.
Questions people ask
How much is Houndour worth?+
The Houndour Reverse Holo #59 from Team Rocket Returns is valued at $59 raw or ungraded. Graded copies climb from there, with a Grade 9 sitting at $204 and a PSA 10 reaching $1,938.
Is Houndour worth grading?+
It can be, if your raw copy is already clean, since a PSA 10 is worth 32.8x the raw price of $59. But gem mint reverse holos are genuinely hard to pull off, so weigh the grading cost and risk against how sharp your card really looks before sending it in.
Why is the Houndour Reverse Holo #59 print worth more than the standard one?+
The reverse holo foil pattern makes this printing scarcer and more visually striking than the standard non-holo version, and collectors pay a premium for that extra shine. Combined with its age from the 2004 Team Rocket Returns set, that demand is reflected in the $59 raw value.
