Print variants and how to spot them
Confirm the print and finish on Bouffalant before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Bouffalant grades forgivingly, but the same centering and edge standards apply. Pack-fresh raw copies are easy to find, which makes a clean PSA 10 submission a low-cost way to learn how the cardstock behaves under grading.
If you are collecting Bouffalant
Raw copies of Bouffalant are inexpensive enough that grading rarely pays unless you have a clearly pack-fresh example. For set completion, a clean sleeved Bouffalant is the practical move.
