Sabrina's Haunter

Numbered 58 of 132 in Gym Heroes, released in August 2000, Sabrina's Haunter is an Uncommon, a Stage 1 Psychic-type carrying 50 HP.

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

Sabrina is the Psychic-type Gym Leader of Saffron City, remembered for her cold, telekinetic intensity in the anime. Sabrina's Haunter is part of that themed lineup.

Illustrated by Atsuko Nishida. Nishida is the original designer of Pikachu and many Gen 1 Pokémon, and her card work has a soft, rounded warmth that suits the friendlier creatures.

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.

Sabrina's Haunter is an Uncommon, so raw copies are inexpensive and easy to find. The value is in condition: a genuine PSA 10, especially 1st Edition, can still reach a surprising figure for an otherwise common card. The live price above breaks it down by grade.

Gym Heroes shipped in 1st Edition and Unlimited, with no Shadowless print. The trainer-prefix naming runs across the set, and the 1st Edition Sabrina's Haunter carries the Edition 1 stamp and a premium over Unlimited in matching grade.

Sabrina's Haunter grades forgivingly, but the same centering and edge standards apply. Pack-fresh raw copies are easy to find, which makes a clean PSA 10 submission a low-cost way to learn how the cardstock behaves under grading.

Raw copies of Sabrina's Haunter are inexpensive enough that grading rarely pays unless you have a clearly pack-fresh example. For set completion, a clean sleeved Sabrina's Haunter is the practical move.
