# Absol ex #135/197 — Obsidian Flames

## Summary

Absol has long been a Hoenn favorite, the disaster-sensing loner that fans adopt as a mascot for Darkness types, and the ex treatment feeds that devotion. As a Double Rare it was a respectable mid-tier pull in Obsidian Flames, with demand coming mostly from Absol collectors. The sold median sits at $1.10, down 2% over 30 days on 155 copies traded, with 160 days of inventory on the board; a PSA 10 brings $72, 65 times raw, but a 24% gem rate against $65 of fees makes grading a losing trade.
