# Gastly #33/62 — Fossil

## Summary

Gastly is a mid-tier Fossil pull, the sort of uncommon that filled out the middle of a pack without anyone chasing it. Its draw is the Mitsuhiro Arita credit, an artist tied to the original Base Set Charizard, plus the lasting affection for Gen I's ghost line. At a $2.36 sold median, up 56% over 30 days on 47 copies traded, with the tape reading as a steady markup with inventory under control, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.11 out of Phantasmal Flames; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
