About the Houndstone ex card
Numbered 102 of 230 in Obsidian Flames, released in August 2023, Houndstone ex is a Double Rare, a Stage 1 Psychic-type carrying 260 HP.
It evolves from Greavard, so Houndstone ex is a later-stage card that set-builders usually slot into a full evolution run rather than buy alone.

What is Houndstone ex worth?
Houndstone ex is a holo rare, one of the cards that holds Obsidian Flames's value. The rarity tier decides most of it, since the same card prints at several tiers with very different prices. In top-grade 1st Edition, Obsidian Flames holos range from the mid hundreds for the lesser cards up to the set's marquee chase; raw and Unlimited copies trade for a fraction of that. The live market price above shows the current figure by grade.

Grading and condition
Houndstone ex lives and dies on its holo surface in grading. The psychic foil catches light at angles that hide hairlines in a flat photo, so tilt it under a lamp, then measure the borders, where modern centering is the second-most-common grade cap.
