About the Absol card

The Pokédex entry printed on Absol reads: "Swift as the wind, Absol races through fields and mountains. Its curved, bow-like horn is acutely sensitive to the warning signs of natural disasters."
What is Absol worth?
Absol is a holo rare, one of the cards that holds Crown Zenith Galarian Gallery's value. The rarity tier decides most of it, since the same card prints at several tiers with very different prices. In top-grade 1st Edition, Crown Zenith Galarian Gallery holos range from the mid hundreds for the lesser cards up to the set's marquee chase; raw and Unlimited copies trade for a fraction of that. The live market price above shows the current figure by grade.
Print variants and how to spot them
Confirm the print and finish on Absol before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
For graded buyers, the holo window on Absol is where most points are won or lost. Surface scratches and foil misregistration are common on these cards, and centering was inconsistent enough that clean PSA 10s stay scarce. Read the darkness foil at a 45-degree angle under strong light before committing.
If you are collecting Absol
If you are buying Absol, work in order: confirm the print variant first, then the grade, then price against recent sales for that exact variant and grade. Price the Absol against the population report, since modern holo supply is large.
