# Gengar #018 — 30th Classic Collection

## Summary

Gengar is one of the most consistently adored Gen I Pokémon, and its Cursed Drop-style damage-counter play has long suited players who like to pick off opponents without attacking head-on. A reprint-set slot like this one is more about familiarity than scarcity, and that sets its pull. The sold median sits at $55, down 31% over 30 days on 660 copies traded, with only 3 days of inventory on the board; no PSA population is on file.
