Koffing · Crown Zenith, what to know.
About the Koffing card
Numbered 75 of 160 in Crown Zenith, released in January 2023, Koffing is a Common, a Basic Darkness-type carrying 70 HP.
As a Basic Pokémon, Koffing needs no prior evolution to put into play, which made it a practical card in the era's decks.

Printed on the card, the Koffing Pokédex entry reads: "It adores polluted air. Some claim that Koffing used to be more plentiful in the Galar region than they are now."

What is Koffing worth?
Koffing is a Common, so raw copies trade for very little and most of the print run survives. The only real value is in pristine, high-grade copies, where even a Common can reach low triple digits in 1st Edition PSA 10. See the live price above for the current figure by grade.
Print variants and how to spot them
Confirm the print and finish on Koffing before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Koffing is the most forgiving tier to grade in the set. Centering on the framed border is the usual cap, and the soft cardstock picks up edge whitening easily, but high print runs keep clean copies affordable.
If you are collecting Koffing
Raw copies of Koffing are inexpensive enough that grading rarely pays unless you have a clearly pack-fresh example. For set completion, a clean sleeved Koffing is the practical move.
