Gengar

Numbered 20 of 62 in Fossil, released in October 1999, Gengar is a Rare, a Stage 2 Psychic-type carrying 80 HP.

It evolves from Haunter, so Gengar is a later-stage card that set-builders usually slot into a full evolution run rather than buy alone.

Illustrated by Keiji Kinebuchi. Kinebuchi contributed a smaller body of Wizards-era cards but is responsible for several memorable holos, with a warm, heavily textured style.

Printed on the card, the Gengar Pokédex entry reads: "Under a full moon, this Pokémon likes to mimic the shadows of people and laugh at their fright."

The fully evolved Gastly line via trade. Wide-grinning Ghost-Poison silhouette. One of the most beloved Pokémon designs. Fossil holo Gengar is one of the most-collected Fossil holos. PSA 10 examples have appreciated dramatically over the last three years.

Based on recent eBay sales, raw copies trade from $38 to $89 depending on the print and a PSA 10 runs from $613 to $2,130. The 1st Edition print is the most valuable, with a PSA 10 near $2,130. The table on this page breaks the price down by print and grade, updated 2026-06-04.

Fossil shipped in 1st Edition and Unlimited, with no Shadowless print. The Edition 1 stamp under the artwork separates the scarcer 1st Edition Gengar from the Unlimited copy.

On Gengar, look at the corners and the framed border first. Non-holo Rares took more handling than the chase holos, so a sharp, centered copy of Gengar in a true PSA 10 is harder to find than the print run suggests.

For Gengar, check centering by eye, edge whitening on all four sides, and surface under angled light. Non-holo Rares from this era are cheap enough that a PSA 10 submission on a clean Gengar can make sense.
