Gengar (Japanese): Rarity & Collectibility
Gengar (Japanese) sits at the most plentiful end of the rarity scale — easy to pull and easy to find. Cataloged as Common #071/190 of the S4a: Shiny Star V 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 (Japanese)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Gengar (Japanese) (Common, S4a: Shiny Star V #071/190) changes hands at roughly $12.54, and availability keeps it within easy reach for collectors. Because demand concentrates on clean copies, surface wear is punished hard: a Near Mint example commands about $12.54, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $7.85. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $12.54, Lightly Played $11.98, Damaged $7.85 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Gengar (Japanese) is valued near $62.52 — about 5.0x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Gengar (Japanese): Gem Mint & Population
Even for a card at this rarity, the top of the market belongs to certified gem-mint copies. A PSA 10 (or CGC 10 / BGS Black Label equivalent) Gengar (Japanese) sits around $62.52 — roughly 5.0x a raw copy. That gap exists because relatively few examples ever earn a perfect grade, so gem-mint population is the real scarcity collectors chase. Step down a notch and demand spreads across PSA 9 $17.50, CGC 10 $44.99, CGC 9.5 $15.50 — each tier a smaller, scarcer pool than the one below it. The rule of thumb for collectors: the rarer the card, the more a certified high grade matters to its standing.
