# Mega Gengar ex #269/217 — Ascended Heroes

## Summary

Mega Gengar ex revives a Gen I fan favorite, and its Ability to cost opposing ex attackers a Prize gives deckbuilders a real reason to look. As an Ultra Rare in a heavily chased set, it sits squarely in the tier collectors hunt. At a $30 sold median, down 19% over 30 days on 1,192 copies traded, with only 3 days of inventory on the board, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $2.14 out of Phantasmal Flames; a CGC 10 brings $131, 4.3 times raw, but a 75% gem rate against $45 of fees makes grading a losing trade.
