Estimated Resale Value
$1.00 - $2.50 (Low: Lightly Played, Mid: Near Mint Raw, High: Pack Fresh/Grading Candidate).
Estimated Retail Value
$4.50 - $6.00 (MSRP equivalent of a single booster pack at release, though this is a specific hit from that pack).

Recent sold listings on TCGplayer and eBay range between $1.25 and $2.15 plus shipping for Near Mint copies. Professionally graded PSA 10 copies have sold for $20-$30, but raw (ungraded) value remains low.
Description
Authentic Pokémon TCG Absol card from the Crown Zenith 'Galarian Gallery' subset. Card number GG16/GG70. This card features breathtaking full-bleed artwork by illustrator Uta showing Absol in a vibrant meadow under a stormy sky. It is a Basic Darkness-type Pokémon with 100 HP, featuring the attacks 'Swirling Disaster' and 'Claw Rend'. Highly collectible for its unique art style.
Key Features
Full-art illustration (Gallery card), fan-favorite Pokémon (Absol), part of the highly popular Crown Zenith set, excellent vibrant colors, and 'Ultra Rare' rarity designated by the GG prefix.
Authenticity Indicators
Correct font styles and spacing, accurate copyright dates (2023), proper bottom-left set symbols (GG16/GG70), and characteristic matte finish typical of the Galarian Gallery. High confidence in authenticity.
Flaws to Note
No major flaws visible. Potential buyers will look for 'whitening' on the blue back edges or surface 'silvering' on front edges. Centering looks slightly heavy on the right border but within acceptable NM standards.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
TCGplayer (best for market price accuracy), eBay (best for bulk visibility), or r/pkmntcgtrades on Reddit. Local card shops (LCS) will typically only offer 50-60% of value in cash.
Selling Tips
Ship in a penny sleeve inside a top-loader for protection. Use a 'Plain White Envelope' (PWE) with a stamp for low-value cards to keep shipping costs under $1.00, or use eBay Standard Envelope for tracking. Use keywords: 'Absol GG16', 'Crown Zenith Galarian Gallery', 'Near Mint', 'Full Art'.
