The collector's take on Gengar
Is Gengar worth grading?
So is it worth grading this one? Here is the honest math: a raw copy sits at $19, while a PSA 10 brings $57, which works out to about 3.0x the raw price. That is a real jump, but grading takes time and money, and there is no guarantee your copy comes back gem mint. Interestingly, a Grade 9 here actually sells for $222, higher than the PSA 10 figure, which tells you demand for near mint copies of this card can swing in unexpected ways. If your raw copy already looks sharp under a light, sending it in could pay off, but always weigh the grading fee and turnaround against what you would actually walk away with.
How rare is Gengar?
Across all grading companies combined, only 787 copies of this Gengar have ever been graded, and just 69 of those came back a PSA 10. When you put those two numbers side by side, it is clear that gem mint copies are the rare exception, not the rule, for this card. That kind of scarcity at the top grade is exactly why a PSA 10 commands the price it does, even when the raw card itself stays modest.
Where can you pull Gengar?
This is where PackSpy's data actually earns its keep, because we track real pulls across pack sites rather than guessing. Gengar has been pulled 200 or more times across collector-crypt, tilt-rips, courtyard, mnstr, lastpack, and packs, so it is genuinely out there in circulation, not just sitting in old binders. We have seen it turn up in the Elite Pokemon Gacha Pack, Pokemon Ultimate Pack, Wildcard Starter Pack, Pokemon Starter Pack, and Legendary Pokemon Gacha Pack, with one lucky rip recorded at $1,201. That said, pack opening is still gambling by nature, and most rips do not come close to that number, so if you want a specific copy in a specific grade, buying on the secondary market is often the more reliable route.
Questions people ask
How much is Gengar worth?+
A raw or ungraded Gengar Holo #38 from Crimson Invasion is currently valued at $19. That number reflects the card in its everyday, non graded condition, which is how most copies you will come across are sold.
Is Gengar worth grading?+
It depends on the condition of your copy. A PSA 10 sells for $57, about 3.0x the raw value, and a Grade 9 actually brings $222, but only 69 out of 787 graded copies have hit that gem mint PSA 10 mark, so it is not a sure thing.
How much is a PSA 10 Gengar worth?+
A PSA 10 copy of this Gengar is valued at $57. With only 69 PSA 10s existing out of 787 total graded copies, hitting that top grade is genuinely tough, which keeps its price well above the raw card.
