# Gengar #48/165 — Expedition Base Set

## Summary

Gengar is one of the most beloved Gen I Pokémon, and a WOTC-era Stage 2 with a Poke-POWER carries real nostalgia for players who grew up on this ghost. Yukiko Baba illustrated it, and a plain Rare in Expedition means a mid-tier pull, not a chase slot. At a $192 modelled guide, with 11 copies traded in 30 days, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.47 out of Perfect Order; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
