What is Entei worth?
Entei is a holo rare, one of the cards that holds Crown Zenith'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 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 Entei before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Entei lives and dies on its holo surface in grading. The fire foil catches light at angles that hide hairlines in a flat photo, so tilt it under a lamp, then measure the borders, where modern centering is the second-most-common grade cap.
If you are collecting Entei
For Entei, variant comes before condition. Confirm the exact rarity tier on the Entei, since the spread between tiers is wide. Demand a clear photo of the Entei holo for any raw purchase.
