Gengar V: Rarity & Collectibility
Gengar V in its sought-after Holofoil variant is an Ultra Rare chase card, one of the headline pulls that most boosters never produce. Cataloged as Ultra Rare #156/264 of the SWSH08: Fusion Strike 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 V?
In 2026, a Near Mint Gengar V (Ultra Rare, SWSH08: Fusion Strike #156/264) changes hands at roughly $3.83, and its scarcity does most of the heavy lifting on that figure. Because demand concentrates on clean copies, surface wear is punished hard: a Near Mint example commands about $3.83, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $2.99. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $3.83, Lightly Played $7.00, Moderately Played $5.54, Heavily Played $3.98, Damaged $2.99 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Gengar V is valued near $169.99 — about 44x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Gengar V: Gem Mint & Population
For a chase card like Gengar V, the high-grade market is where the real money lives. A PSA 10 (or CGC 10 / BGS Black Label equivalent) Gengar V sits around $169.99 — roughly 44x 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 $30.00, CGC 10 $20.50, CGC 9.5 $30.00 — 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.
