Tap to open
Houndstone ex is the double rare ghost-type from Obsidian Flames, the 2023 set that gave us some genuinely striking illustrated cards, this one included, courtesy of 5ban Graphics. It's not a card that turns heads for its dollar value, sitting at $1 raw, but collectors love it for the artwork and for how it fits into a set that's been a steady favorite since release. If you're trying to pin down Houndstone ex value, the short answer is that this is an affordable, fun pull rather than a chase card, and that's perfectly okay.

The collector's take on Houndstone ex
Is Houndstone ex worth grading?
Here's the honest math on grading Houndstone ex: a raw copy sits around $1, a Grade 9 comes in at $9, and a PSA 10 jumps up to $24, which works out to 24.0x the ungraded price. That multiplier looks tempting on paper, but remember grading fees, shipping, and the wait time all eat into that gap, and gem mint is never guaranteed even on a card that looks perfect to your eye. For a $1 card, my honest take is that grading only makes sense if you're doing a batch of cards together or you just want a slabbed piece for your own collection, not purely for profit.
How rare is Houndstone ex?
Double rares in Obsidian Flames aren't the rarest tier in the set, but they're still a step above your standard pulls, and Houndstone ex fits that bracket. We don't have exact population figures to share here, but the pricing spread between raw, Grade 9, and PSA 10 tells its own story: gem mint copies command real premium over raw, which usually points to a card that isn't easy to find in flawless condition even when the print run itself isn't tiny. That gap is really what drives the grading conversation for a card like this one.
Where can you pull Houndstone ex?
PackSpy has tracked Houndstone ex being pulled 70 times across online pack sites, with the biggest recorded hit landing at $118, mostly showing up in Catch 'em All - Obsidian Flames. That's the kind of cross-site pull data you won't find in a static price guide, and it tells you this card does turn up with some regularity if you're opening Obsidian Flames product. Just keep the bigger picture in mind: pack opening is gambling by nature, and most rips don't come close to covering what you paid, so treat any pull as a bonus rather than the plan.
Questions people ask
How much is Houndstone ex worth?+
A raw, ungraded Houndstone ex is worth around $1. Graded copies climb from there, with a Grade 9 at $9 and a PSA 10 reaching $24, so condition makes a real difference even on a modestly priced card.
Is Houndstone ex worth grading?+
It can be, since a PSA 10 sits at 24.0x the raw price, but gem mint is genuinely hard to hit and grading fees add up fast on a $1 card. It's worth it if you love the card or you're grading a batch anyway, less so if you're chasing pure profit.
What set is Houndstone ex from?+
Houndstone ex is card #102 from Obsidian Flames, released in 2023, and it's classified as a double rare illustrated by 5ban Graphics.
