Gengar (16): Rarity & Collectibility
Gengar (16) in its sought-after Reverse_Holofoil variant is a genuine Rare that print runs hold back, so collectors have to hunt for clean copies. Cataloged as Rare #16/99 of the Arceus set, it is the kind of card RarePokemonCard tracks for scarcity and collector demand rather than raw price alone. The harder a card is to pull in top condition, the more weight serious collectors place on it.
How Rare & Valuable Is Gengar (16)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Gengar (16) (Rare, Arceus #16/99) changes hands at roughly $76.65, and desirability among set-builders keeps that number firm. Because demand concentrates on clean copies, surface wear is punished hard: a Near Mint example commands about $76.65, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $25.00. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $76.65, Lightly Played $78.18, Moderately Played $35.12, Heavily Played $21.33, Damaged $25.00 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value.
