ABOUT THIS CARD

VALUE
What is Houndoom #179 from Battle Styles worth?
Two different numbers answer this, and they are not interchangeable. Raw/ungraded: a loose, ungraded copy of Houndoom #179 (Battle Styles) carries a market reference of $27.78 USD for the holofoil printing (TCGplayer market price, as of 2026-09-11). Graded slabs: a graded example is priced per grading company and per grade and can sit far above that raw figure - our own graded marks for this card are charted and tabled below, per grader and grade. Both are references, not offers.
