Gengar — collector's take
Is Gengar worth grading?
So is it worth sending Gengar in for grading? Here is the honest breakdown. Raw copies are going for $13, a Grade 9 sits at $40, and a PSA 10 jumps all the way up to $365, which works out to about 28.2x the raw price. That is a real gap, and it is exactly why people get grading fever over this card. But gem mint is not a given. Reverse holos show every little scuff and print line under bright light, and centering issues are common, so plenty of raw copies that look clean to the eye come back as a 9 instead of a 10. Add in grading fees and turnaround time, and grading only really makes sense if you are pulling from a fresh, well centered copy, or you already own one you suspect is gem mint quality. If you are just holding a random raw copy, it might be smarter to enjoy it as is rather than gamble the grading fee away.
How rare is it?
Right now there are 226 total graded copies of this Gengar on record, and only 50 of those have earned a PSA 10. That is a meaningful gap. It tells you that even among the copies good enough to send in for grading, less than a quarter come back in perfect gem mint condition. That kind of population spread is exactly what keeps the PSA 10 price so far above the raw and Grade 9 numbers. Scarcity at the top end is really what drives this card's value story, not scarcity of the card itself.
Where to pull it
This is where PackSpy earns its keep, because we track actual pulls across pack sites rather than just guessing. Gengar has been pulled 200 or more times across collector-crypt, courtyard, tilt-rips, mnstr, and packs, so it is not some ultra rare unicorn hiding in a single product. It has turned up in the Starter Pokémon Gacha Pack, Mythic Pokémon Gacha Pack, Pokémon Pro Pack, Pokemon Starter Pack, and Legendary Pokémon Gacha Pack. The biggest recorded pull value we have logged for this card sits at $2,733, which shows just how much of a swing there can be depending on the condition and grade someone ends up with. Worth remembering though, opening packs is still a gamble, and most rips do not come close to that number. If you want Gengar specifically and do not want to leave it to chance, buying a known raw or graded copy off the secondary market is usually the steadier path.
Questions people ask
How much is Gengar worth?
A raw, ungraded copy of this Gengar Reverse Holo is worth $13 right now. Once you move into graded territory, a Grade 9 sits at $40, and a PSA 10 jumps up to $365. That PSA 10 number is roughly 28.2x what the raw card sells for, which shows how much condition matters here.
Is Gengar worth grading?
It can be, if the copy is clean and well centered, since a PSA 10 sells for $365 against a $13 raw price. But only 50 out of 226 graded copies have hit that PSA 10 mark, so gem mint is genuinely hard to land, and grading fees plus the risk of a lower grade should factor into your decision.

This Gengar Reverse Holo #85 comes from the Sword & Shield set, released in 2020. It is a Holo Rare card illustrated by Eri Yamaki, and it has shown up in packs like the Starter Pokémon Gacha Pack, Mythic Pokémon Gacha Pack, Pokémon Pro Pack, Pokemon Starter Pack, and Legendary Pokémon Gacha Pack.
