# Absol #038/073 — Champion's Path

## Summary

Absol has long been a Hoenn favorite, the lone disaster-sensing Dark type whose misunderstood-omen story gives it a loyal fan following well beyond its modest competitive record. As a Champion's Path uncommon it was a plain pull in a small, Charizard-chasing set, so demand rests on Absol fans alone. A $0.24 modelled guide, up 14% over 30 days on 14 copies traded, says bulk, with 4,879 days of inventory sitting on the board, and the economics stop there: a PSA 10 brings $25, 102 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
