# Haunter #43/130 — Base Set 2

## Summary

Haunter sits in the middle of the Gastly line that Gen I fans have loved since Lavender Town, and its Hypnosis into Dream Eater combo was a real, playable trick in the Wizards era. As a Base Set 2 uncommon it was a mid-tier pull, solid but never a chase. At a $1.36 modelled guide, with 30 copies traded in 30 days, with the tape reading as a decline with nothing absorbing it, 90% of this printing’s price is collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.14 out of Phantasmal Flames; a PSA 10 brings $222, 163 times raw, but a 22% gem rate against $85 of fees makes grading a losing trade.
