# Houndour #132/197 — Obsidian Flames

## Summary

Houndour is a Johto Dark-type with a quiet following, a Halloween-flavored pup that never landed a spot as anyone's first favorite but keeps a loyal niche. A bulk common from a set built around Charizard ex, it fills binder pages, and Kurata So's contribution is mostly of interest to illustrator completists. A $0.14 modelled guide, down 13% over 30 days on 62 copies traded, says bulk, with 3,015 days of inventory sitting on the board, and the economics stop there: PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it, and the same card plays for $0.06 out of Shrouded Fable.
