What Is Absol ex Worth?
Absol ex (Holofoil variant) is a Rare card in the SV03: Obsidian Flames set, card number 135/197. On PokeCardWorth we focus on one question — what is it actually worth — and at its current valuation, it is an affordable, easy-to-find card best valued as part of a complete set rather than on its own.
Absol ex Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Absol ex (SV03: Obsidian Flames, 135/197) is worth around $1.01 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $1.01, while a Damaged one drops to roughly $0.50. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $1.01, Lightly Played $0.94, Moderately Played $1.02, Heavily Played $0.45, Damaged $0.50 — so grading the condition correctly before you buy or sell matters more than almost anything else. A PSA 10 (Gem Mint) example is valued near $49.95 — about 49x the raw price, which is the single biggest swing in this card's value. PSA 9 copies sit around $14.50.
Is It Worth Grading Absol ex?
Grading Absol ex can pay off concretely: the gap between its raw value ($1.01) and a PSA 10 ($49.95) is about $48.94 — a 49x uplift before grading fees. Other graded tiers we track: PSA 9 $14.50, CGC 10 $33.99, PSA 8 $12.00. At this value grading rarely makes sense — the fee usually exceeds the card's worth.
