Nosepass · Obsidian Flames, what to know.
About the Nosepass card
Numbered 107 of 230 in Obsidian Flames, released in August 2023, Nosepass is a Common, a Basic Fighting-type carrying 90 HP.
As a Basic Pokémon, Nosepass needs no prior evolution to put into play, which made it a practical card in the era's decks.

Printed on the card, the Nosepass Pokédex entry reads: "It hunts without twitching a muscle by pulling in its prey with powerful magnetism. But sometimes it pulls natural enemies in close."
What is Nosepass worth?
Nosepass 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 Nosepass before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Nosepass 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 Nosepass
Raw copies of Nosepass are inexpensive enough that grading rarely pays unless you have a clearly pack-fresh example. For set completion, a clean sleeved Nosepass is the practical move.
