Gengar — collector's take
Is Gengar worth grading?
So is it worth grading? Here is the honest math: a raw copy sits at $85, but a PSA 10 jumps all the way up to $1,480, which works out to 17.4 times the raw price. That is a real gap, and it is exactly why so many people ask about Gengar price once they pull one. But gem mint is genuinely hard to land, a Grade 9 only brings $576, and grading fees plus turnaround time eat into any profit if your copy comes back a shade lower than you hoped. If the card already looks clean under a loupe with sharp corners and no whitening, it might be worth the gamble. If it has any soft edges or centering issues, you may just be paying to find out it is not a 10, so weigh that risk honestly before you send it in.
How rare is it?
Across every grading company combined, there are only 180 graded copies of this Gengar on record. That is not a huge number for a card that has been around since 2009, and it tells you most raw copies out there have simply never been submitted. When population stays this tight, it puts a natural ceiling on how many true gem mint copies can ever exist, which is a big part of why that PSA 10 price sits so far above the raw number. Scarcity like this tends to hold up over time rather than fade.
Where to pull it
This is where PackSpy's own tracking comes in handy, because we log real pulls across pack sites, not just guesses. We have recorded Gengar pulled 17 times so far, all across collector-crypt, with the biggest recorded pull coming in at $150. It has shown up in the Legendary Pokemon Gacha Pack, the Elite Pokemon Gacha Pack, and the Anime Pop Culture Gacha, so those are the spots where it has actually surfaced. It is worth remembering that opening packs is a gamble no matter the site, most rips do not come close to covering their cost, so treat any pull as a nice bonus rather than something to count on. If landing this exact Gengar matters more to you than the thrill of the rip, buying it outright on the secondary market is usually the more reliable route.

Is Gengar worth grading?
