Why Gengar #5 is priced where it is
Gengar #5 is a Rare Holo Pokémon card from Fossil, the Base era (1999). It ranks as the most valuable card out of 124 cards in the set, so it is one of the cards collectors chase when opening packs. A PSA 10 sells for about 61x the raw price, so centering and surface condition decide most of what a copy is worth. Its price has held almost flat over the last 30 days ($185.54 to $185.54). The illustration is by Keiji Kinebuchi.
