Common questions
What rarity is Absol #1?
Absol is a Rare. Dragon contains 34 cards at that rarity out of 100 total.
Does condition change what Absol is worth?
The prices on this page are for raw, ungraded copies. Condition swings what a card fetches — a Near Mint copy can be worth several times a played one, and a PSA 9 or PSA 10 slab is a different market again. Scryda scans the card, reads the exact print and finish, and shows raw alongside graded comps.
