Gengar (Japanese): Rarity & Collectibility
Gengar (Japanese) is an Uncommon, slightly scarcer than the base cards but still widely available. Cataloged as Uncommon #035/062 of the SV3a: Raging Surf 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) (Uncommon, SV3a: Raging Surf #035/062) changes hands at roughly $0.26, 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 $0.26, whereas a Moderately Played one slides to around $0.10. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $0.26, Lightly Played $0.28, Moderately Played $0.10 — 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 $40.00 — about 154x 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 $40.00 — roughly 154x 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 $15.00, CGC 10 $18.50 — 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.
