Which Gengar card sells for the most raw?

In June 2026 a PSA 10 copy of the Legendary Collection reverse holo Gengar sold at auction for $408,000, a record for a Gengar card at that time. Of the Gengars with recent US sales, Gengar & Mimikyu GX (Team Up 165/181) costs the most, at about $2,374 raw. Midori Harada drew this 2019 alternate art, one of four Team Up prints of the Gengar and Mimikyu Tag Team beside a holo, a full art and a rainbow secret rare. Five of the ten priciest with recent US sales came out in the last 15 years.

What is the best Gengar card under $50?

Gengar (30th Classic Collection 018) is our pick for a Gengar under $50 raw, at about $42. This 2026 30th Classic Collection Gengar is by Takashi Yamaguchi, the artist of the 2010 Triumphant Gengar Prime. Nothing graded S or A sells that cheaply, so the picks below come from the B and C tiers.

What each tier sells for, raw, in the US

S3 with a US sale, $519 to $1,012; none under $50
A7 with a US sale, $219 to $2,374; none under $50
B8 with a US sale, $41.54 to $624; 2 under $50
C13 with a US sale, $3.10 to $152; 7 under $50

Are Gengar card prices going up?

Not across the board. In Europe, 8 of the 21 Gengars with a clear trend sold higher over the last 7 days than their 30 day average, 8 sold lower and 5 held within 5%. Gengar (Skyridge 10/144) rose most, up 125%, and Dark Gengar (Neo Destiny 6/105) fell most, down 41%. 23 more trade too thinly or too cheaply in Europe to read a trend. Prices as of Nov 8, 2026. On scarce cards a few sales can swing a week, so treat it as a hint.
