The collector's take on Gengar V
Is Gengar V worth grading?
So is Gengar V worth grading? Here's the honest breakdown: a raw copy sits around $11, a Grade 9 climbs to $42, and a PSA 10 jumps all the way to $218, which works out to about 19.8 times the raw price. That's a real gap, and it's tempting. But gem mint is genuinely hard to hit, print lines, centering, and edge wear all conspire against a perfect grade, and grading fees plus shipping and turnaround time eat into any profit if your card comes back a 9 instead of a 10. If you've got a copy that looks flawless under a loupe, it can be worth the gamble. If it's got soft corners or a hint of whitening, you're often better off enjoying it raw or selling it as is.
How rare is Gengar V?
Right now there are 3,885 total graded copies of Gengar V on record, and of those, 1,484 have earned the PSA 10 gem mint label. That's a meaningful chunk of the graded population sitting at the top grade, which tells you this card isn't impossible to find in perfect condition, but it also means the ones that aren't gem mint are competing against a pretty deep pool of graded copies. Scarcity here isn't about a card nobody can find, it's about where your specific copy lands in that spread, and that placement is what drives real price differences.
Where can you pull Gengar V?
This is where PackSpy's own data comes in handy, because we don't just quote a price guide, we track actual pulls across real pack sites. Gengar V has been pulled 48 times in our records, showing up across tilt-rips, courtyard, and collector-crypt, with the biggest recorded pull landing at $224. It's turned up in packs like the Pokemon Starter Pack, the Wildcard Starter Pack, the Starter Pokémon Gacha Pack, and the Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack. Worth saying plainly: opening packs is a gamble, and most rips don't come close to covering their cost, so if you're chasing this card specifically, going in with clear eyes matters more than chasing a big number you saw once.

Is Gengar V worth grading?+
