Haunter · Skyridge, what to know.
About the Haunter card
Numbered 63 of 182 in Skyridge, released in May 2003, Haunter is a Common, a Stage 1 Psychic-type carrying 70 HP.
It evolves from Gastly, so Haunter is a later-stage card that set-builders usually slot into a full evolution run rather than buy alone.

About Haunter in the Pokémon world
The middle Gastly stage. Floating, tongue-out, mischievous. Fossil holo Haunter is a quiet collector favorite. Its anime presence (the friendly Haunter in the Tower of Lavender episode) gives it an emotional draw.
What is Haunter worth?
Haunter is a Common, so raw copies trade for very little and most of the print run survives. The only real value is in pristine, high-grade copies, where even a Common can reach low triple digits in 1st Edition PSA 10. See the live price above for the current figure by grade.
Print variants and how to spot them
Confirm the print and finish on Haunter before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Haunter is the most forgiving tier to grade in the set. Centering on the framed border is the usual cap, and the soft Wizards-era cardstock picks up edge whitening easily, but high print runs keep clean copies affordable.
If you are collecting Haunter
Raw copies of Haunter are inexpensive enough that grading rarely pays unless you have a clearly pack-fresh example. For set completion, a clean sleeved Haunter is the practical move.
