# Mega Gengar EX (Japanese) #034 — XY4: Phantom Gate

## Summary

Japanese collectors had Mega Gengar EX in September 2014, when Phantom Gate arrived as the fourth XY expansion in Japan. The Japanese edition is where this Ghost-type Mega first appeared as a chase card from the XY4 set. A wide-grinned Gengar fills the frame in purples and magentas, dotted with glowing coloured orbs. As a double rare EX, it sits one tier below the full-art pulls. The modelled guide sits at $225 with no copies traded in 30 days; no PSA population is on file, and a CGC 10 would fetch about $250 against $45 in grading fees, so the only money in this card is finishing a set, not a slab.
