The collector's take on Gengar
Is Gengar worth grading?
So is it worth sending this one off to get graded? Here's the honest answer: a raw copy sits at $21, and a PSA 10 comes in at $26, which works out to about 1.2x the raw price. That's a modest bump, and it reflects how tricky gem mint actually is to land. Interestingly, a Grade 9 copy is currently valued higher at $131, which just goes to show grading outcomes and market demand don't always move in a straight line. Grading costs money and takes patience, and there's always a chance your card comes back a point lower than you hoped. If you already love the card and want it protected long term, grading can make sense, but if you're doing it purely to flip for profit, run the math first because the margin here is thin.
How rare is Gengar?
Across all grading companies combined, only 366 copies of this Gengar have been graded, and of those, just 35 have earned the coveted PSA 10 label. That's a small slice sitting at the very top of the population, which tells you gem mint copies are genuinely hard to come by. Scarcity like this is part of what keeps demand steady for the higher grades, even when the price difference over a raw or Grade 9 copy isn't dramatic.
Where can you pull Gengar?
We've tracked this Gengar being pulled 6 times across collector-crypt, with the biggest recorded pull landing at $187. It's shown up in both the Legendary Pokemon Gacha Pack and the Elite Pokemon Gacha Pack, so if you're chasing this one from a live pack site, those are the spots where it's actually been recorded coming out. That said, six pulls isn't a lot, and most people who want this card end up buying it directly on the secondary market rather than hoping to rip it themselves. Worth remembering too: opening packs is a gamble, and most rips don't come close to covering what you spent, so treat the pull data as insight, not a guarantee.
Questions people ask
How much is Gengar worth?+
A raw or ungraded copy of this Gengar Reverse Holo from Crimson Invasion is valued at $21. Graded copies can be worth more or less depending on the grade, with a PSA 10 sitting at $26 and a Grade 9 currently valued at $131.
Is Gengar worth grading?+
It depends on your goals. The jump from raw ($21) to PSA 10 ($26) is only about 1.2x, and with just 35 PSA 10s out of 366 total graded copies, gem mint isn't easy to hit. Grading has real costs and risks, so it makes more sense if you're keeping the card long term rather than grading purely to profit.
Why is the Gengar Reverse Holo #38 print worth more than the standard one?+
Reverse holo prints have that shimmering foil pattern across the card background instead of just the artwork, which collectors tend to favor over the standard non-holo version. That extra visual appeal, combined with its Rare status and Shin Nagasawa's artwork, is part of why this print carries its own distinct value in the market.
