# Houndstone ex #102/197 — Obsidian Flames

## Summary

Houndstone has a loyal following as a Gen IX ghost dog with a melancholy backstory, and 5ban Graphics is a long-running illustrator behind many Pokémon cards. A Double Rare ex in Obsidian Flames, it was a modest pull rather than a chase slot, with a Last Respects attack built to reward Psychic-heavy decks. At a $0.99 modelled guide, flat over 30 days on 55 copies traded, with 150 days of inventory on the board, 29% of this printing’s price is collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.70 out of SVP Black Star Promos; a PSA 10 guides at $24, 24 times raw, but a 19% gem rate against $85 of fees makes grading a losing trade.
