Baltoy · Obsidian Flames, what to know.
About the Baltoy card
Numbered 94 of 230 in Obsidian Flames, released in August 2023, Baltoy is a Common, a Basic Psychic-type carrying 70 HP.
As a Basic Pokémon, Baltoy needs no prior evolution to put into play, which made it a practical card in the era's decks.

Printed on the card, the Baltoy Pokédex entry reads: "It was discovered in ancient ruins. While moving, it constantly spins. It stands on one foot even when asleep."
What is Baltoy worth?
Baltoy is a Common, so raw copies trade for very little and most of the print run survives. The only real value is in pristine, high-grade copies, where even a Common can reach low triple digits in 1st Edition PSA 10. See the live price above for the current figure by grade.
Print variants and how to spot them
Confirm the print and finish on Baltoy before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Baltoy is the most forgiving tier to grade in the set. Centering on the framed border is the usual cap, and the soft cardstock picks up edge whitening easily, but high print runs keep clean copies affordable.
If you are collecting Baltoy
Raw copies of Baltoy are inexpensive enough that grading rarely pays unless you have a clearly pack-fresh example. For set completion, a clean sleeved Baltoy is the practical move.
